TEST DAY BREAKFAST SMOOTHIE

Leave a reply
I’m so proud of the hard work Taylor has put into school this year.  She has studied hard and it is paying off!  I’ve noticed a bit more focus and stress as she is walking through mid-term tests. I know that she has studied hard and is prepared!
 
Now it is my responsibility to make sure her 
BODY and BRAIN 
are fueled and ready!
 
 
I would have taken a better smoothie picture, 
but we were in the middle of the  
“MORNING RUSH”… you know what I am talking about! 
 LOL
 
theSMOOTHIE
 
kale
spinach
parsley
mint
oatmeal
coconut oil – buy it HERE
flax seeds
bee pollen
greek yogurt
honey
frozen fruit
1/2 banana
water
and to make it taste good…
1/2 cup OJ
 
That’s a power packed meal that she “ate” on the way to school!

*The picture shows the amount of food I use for 2 smoothies.  I make Taylor and Iver’s together, then make a quick one for me… using less fruit and no OJ.

Fitness Vacation Recap 3: WEDNESDAY

Leave a reply
We were expecting Wednesday to be rainy and cold, so I had planned that we would take advantage of the indoor space for our workout.  Well my weather app was WAY off.  Wednesday ended up being one of the most beautiful, warm days!  

the WORKOUT
This is the day I pulled out the skateboards. 
 Up on the roof was the perfect place to use them!
So up we went….

 This is the perfect location for CIRCUIT TRAINING!

Here I am doing a 
ROLLING FLY PUSH-UP

This is the ROLLING REVERSE LUNGE.  
A W E S O M E hamstring exercise!
80/20 SQUAT
We filmed a mini SKATEBOARD WORKOUT while we were there if you are interested in any of these exercises.  I’ll let you know when it’s available. 

CAUTION…
  • I do not recommend doing exercises on the skateboard if you have knee or shoulder problems.  
  • Stretch and warm up properly first.
  • If you do try any of these exercises, be sure you are close to something to grab on to if the skateboard decides to buck you off!
  • Everyone of these exercises required a strong CORE!  Keep it ENGAGED!!!  Read this to find out more about ENGAGING YOUR CORE.

the AFTERNOON
Being that this was the perfect weather day we decided to hit the beach!
Some of us enjoyed the waves…

 Some enjoyed the sand

And others enjoyed her beach chair 🙂

a SMOOTHIE
I introduced the group to a GREEN SMOOTHIE.  As I was making it, I has some serious apprehension from my group, but after I made everyone taste it, I had some new believers! 
“Wow!  I could actually drink this!”  said Chris.

This is what went in this GREEN SMOOTHIE…
Frozen Tropical Fruit
Greek Yogurt
KALE
Banana
Flax Seeds 
and
Coconut Oil
