Move of the week: Prisoner get-ups are a great bodyweight exercise! This functional move really works the abs and the lower body.

How to: Lie flat on your back on the floor with your hands placed behind your head, elbows outwards, legs outstretched. Bend your knees, and keep your feet flat on the floor. Using your lower ab muscles, bring yourself forward until your butt and the heels of your feet are close, while also crossing your lower legs. With your hands behind your head, hinge at your hips and get up off the floor, pushing through the heels, and stand up straight without using your hands. Keep your core tight throughout the movement and be sure not to pull on your neck with your hands (keep your elbows back and chest up). Beginners, you guys can use your hands for support until you work up to hands-free. Have fun with it!

Daily Motivation: Fitness as Therapy

Working out is not only about loosing fat, building muscle, and being physically fit. It’s also my mind’s “happy place”. A place where I work on not only being strong physically, but mentally as well. A bad day can be improved with a workout…and a workout can even be improved by a bad day!

Feed your body good food, feed your mind good thoughts, and move daily. We only have one body, so we need to take care of it. It’s not like we can move out and find another place to live! Many of us only start to look after ourselves when something goes wrong…start before that happens. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

5k PB - SPEED! Change

5k Personal Best – SPEED!

5k PB – SPEED! Change “I can’t” into “I can” and pretty soon you will say, “I did”. I have never been a runner but as you may tell from my IG name, I’m big into HIIT. Lately I have gotten a bee in my bonnet to become FASTER at running. I only log about 5-20 running miles per month as I have other forms of cardio I prefer but even so, I was able to shave off over 4 mins on my 5k (3.1 mile) time! 23:38 is a personal best! This was a hilly run 1.5-5 incline. That’s the power of HIIT, Tabata, and cross-training for you! I never thought I would run it that fast without traditional race training, which I find boring. Tabata and HIIT workouts really work the fast twitch muscles and made that speed and endurance happen for me.

Birthday Festivities!

“Keep calm and be crazy. Laugh love and live it up because this is the oldest you’ve been and the youngest you’ll ever be again!” Feeling blessed. Pre-birthday celebration spa afternoon w the hubby. Not fitness related but definitely good for the soul! And anyway…it’s my bday (almost) so I’ll post what I want!

“Set your life on fire. Seek those who fan the flames.”

“Set your life on fire. Seek those who fan the flames.” – Rumi ❤️ Perhaps we should try looking at life as an adventure, where success is about finding our passion and our purpose and using that to make this world better in some way. We should surround ourselves with people who uplift and support us. And we should make a conscious effort to uplift and support others.

Are you REALLY awesome at eating cookies but not so awesome at eating oatmeal? Try these high fiber banana oatmeal drops - 3 ingredients!  Simple, healthy and tasty!  I can’t remember where I saw this, but I wanted to try it with my own tweaks. Mix 2 bananas with 1 cup regular oats (chop them up a little), and add some dark chocolate chips. I also decided to add cinnamon and nutmeg (because I add cinnamon to practically everything - yum!). Bake for 15 mins at 350 F.  Perfect for when you are feeling snacky or want a bit of a treat.  Notice that I did not call them cookies.  That sets up an expectation that, in my opinion, will not be met.  They are a tasty healthy treat though…my kids even liked them.  They are great the next day (toast them) and just perfect if you need to take your breakfast to-go.  And yes, there is a big bite out of the one in front! I was eager to try them.
