Now that Labor Day has passed us by, it's time to kiss the dog days of Summer good-bye. Just because you're putting away your bathing suit does not mean that you should also put away your motivation to stay fit. Being healthy is much more than looking good on the beach. Use my September Must Haves to welcome the first day of Fall, and of the rest of your life.
I work out regularly for my mind as much as my body. I need the stress relief. Even when my body doesn't respond well to things like sprinting, my brain is pleased with the distraction. I for one, thank my lucky stars that I made it to the gym. How would you finish this sentence?
Quiche is one of the easiest dishes to make. Made with eggs, it's a great source of protein and vitamins. You can also pack it with a variety of veggies making it a healthy dinner, hopefully with leftovers for lunch. Quiche is normally made with cream, which is high in saturated fat, so I've used skim milk instead. To make my life easier, instead of making my own pie shell, I used a Wholly Wholesome Frozen Pie Shell. You can find it in the freezer section in packs of two. Not only does it help make your quiche recipe a cinch, but it's also cholesterol free.
I love working my shoulders and my outer thighs, and this exercise targets both areas at the same time. You'll need a resistance band for this move, and if it's too easy with the band you're using, then you can make it more difficult by shortening the band and holding the rubber part below the handles.
As always, I am really enjoying the US Open right now. I love watching all the strong players battle it out on the court, but this year I am noticing an added element to the game: fashion.
Maybe it was because Anna Wintour has been frequenting the stands or because fashion week is just around the corner, but the tennis outfits are awesome this year. The colors are bright and the dresses and skirts are cute. Most of you loved Maria Sharapova's red dress last year, so I am guessing you're digging the fashion, too.
Inversions, in yoga, are the poses where you put your feet above your head. Meant to give your mind a new perspective, they allow blood to flow to your head to improve circulation, which can cure headaches and help relieve depression. Going upside down also increases strength in your upper arms, back, and abdomen. These poses require skill and patience, so be sure to practice these regularly.
