BR Day 27 Burpee workout, Zuzka's 5 minute free KB workout, Healthy Advice for the week of August 3rd

BR posted day 27 with Sean, and guess what? More Burpees! But actually quite a challenging workout. I guess they are saving the best for last. :)

Zuzka posted a 5 minute KB workout that is also quite challenging.

I challenge anyone to put these 2 together! Do a warm up, do Seans' first, rest 2 minutes, do Zuzka's next, cool down and stretch. Should take you under 30 minutes for a great metabolic workout. :)

I've got the Healthy Advice for the Week of August 3rd posted now. These are time consuming to post I'll admit, but I like it. If there is anything you'd like to see here, let me know.

It's posted below or you can go directly to the Healthy Advice page itself.
Enjoy it!

RECIPE OF THE WEEK:
Recipe -  Sweet Potato Omelet
 
Cook a small sweet potato in microwave so it is about 1/2 done.
Meanwhile sauté some onions in coconut oil til their slightly brown.
Peel sweet potato and cut up into small pieces - add to sautéed onions and cook til both are browning.
Add in 2 egg whites and one whole egg and cook til done.
EAT!
 
RECIPE OF THE WEEK FOR KIDS:
Oatmeal Pancakes

1 Cup Oatmeal or Oat flour
1 TBSP Peanut butter (or any nut or seed butter of your choice)
1 Egg
1 Small frozen over ripe banana

Put Oats (no quick oats!) into blender and blend til powder-like.
Add egg and PB blend some more.
Add in banana and blend til smooth.

Pour batter into skillet (I use coconut oil for cooking).
Cook til slightly browned on both sides.

Optional - add cinnamon, chocolate chips, raisins, blueberries.
Top with 100% maple syrup, honey or warm apple sauce.
YUM!
 
SUPPLEMENT OF THE WEEK:
JUICE PLUS!
You've heard me talk about this before.
I cannot understand WHY it is not more popular.
1. - if you take it and have kids, they get it FREE
2. - it is made from REAL food so your body absorbs 100% of it rather than peeing it out as happens with most vitamins on the market
3. - it is made from organic, kosher and vine ripened (never picked before fully ripe meaning it has significantly more antioxidants than other produce) fruits, veggies and berries, dehydrated, and then ground up and put into capsules (chewies for kids)
4. - For under $70 a month you (and your child) can get the nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants from 25+ fruits, veggies and berries into your diet EVERY day for less than 10 calories. Seriously? Who couldn't use more fruits and veggies in their diet?!
You cannot get it in a store, so if interested, email me at ginatrim.martin@gmail.com
To see how Juice Plus is made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzWHTGc9Wmc
5. Yep, soy, egg, wheat, gluten, sugar free - no fillers. Chewies have maltodextrin used as a sweetener.
I feel so much better knowing my kids get the extra nutrients they really need! (Me too for that matter). Did you know that if you give your kids Flinestone vitamins and they got a hold of them and ate too many you would need to call Poison control? If your kids got a hold of the Juice Plus chewies and ate too many, they's just poop a lot! BIG difference in the ingredients - much safer and MUCH healthier.
It's the next best thing to eating fruits and vegetables.

EQUIPMENT OF THE WEEK:

Jump rope: It is SO much easier to jump rope if you have the correct one. I never realized what a difference it made until I got me my own speed rope!
