Zuzka Continues with her Guns & Pistols Series, BR's Challenge with Edith Starts Tomorrow, and Healthy Advice for the Week of Sept 1

Zuzka is continuing with her Guns & Pistol Series. I am surprised. After only sticking with the Cardio yoga for one week, I thought this would be a one weeker too. I love pistols and all, but how many workouts in a row do we need to be doing them? However, in my opinion, Zuzka usually puts together a better workout whenever she includes pistols.

I am SUPER curious to see Edith's challenge that starts tomorrow with BR. I signed up for it, but not sure that I will do it. Depends on whether or not I like what I see! But I do like Edith. She is a good host and has a great body.
Lisa's RTC starts immediately after Edith's so that is coming up soon too.

FOR THE WEEK OF September 1!

 

Until the day I can actually video the workouts I will list them instead. If you need an explanation of any of the exercises, go to fitnessblender.com, nerdfitness.com or for any lower body exercises the best place is to look is Bret Contreras's YouTube channel.

RECIPE OF THE WEEK:

Zucchini spaghetti

 

OMG! Love this stuff and so much less calories and carbs than pasta.

Have you ever used a spiralizer? You can get one on Amazon.com - (Not an affiliate)

Put the Zucchini through the spiralizer, heat in micro for 45 seconds.

Add spaghetti sauce and grated cheese.

Delicious!

   

RECIPE OF THE WEEK FOR KIDS:

Do you make PB and Jelly for your kids?

Use organic PB, and use Polamer jelly - it is made with REAL Fruit, and no added sugars.

You can also use Ezekiel or Udi's bread to use a much healthier bread.

I know kids a lot of times like soft bread, so that's ok too. :)

   

SUPPLEMENT OF THE WEEK:

Coconut oil

I LOVE Coconut Oil - to use in cooking, baking, as a facial moisturizer, for pimples, for hair conditioner, for hair frizz tamer, for hand lotion, for foot cream, as a make up remover, as chapstick, and the list goes on! Click the link for a high quality coconut oil to be delivered right to your front door.

 

 

EQUIPMENT OF THE WEEK:

jump rope - speed rope 

If you think the jump rope you use doesn't make a difference - it does! I couldn't believe how much easier it was to jump rope with a speed rope. What a HUGE difference.
