Clean Eating Tip

February 22, 2012

Eat breakfast!  The champion of all breakfast foods:  OATMEAL! It regulates your blood sugar and keeps you full longer.  One cup of oatmeal contains 8 grams of fiber – that’s a full third of the dietary reference intake!  Ask me for my special OATMEAL blend! I keep it in the fridge at Momentum and LOVE to share!

Clean Eating Tip of The Week

February 13, 2012

Drink WATER!! If you’re active (and I know you are!), shoot for 3 liters per day.  An easy way to get this in is to fill three 1-liter  containers in the evening and place them in your refrigerator.  The next day, set your sights on getting all 3 containers gone before your healthy evening snack.

Tips From Varsity!

February 2, 2012

Thanks SO much to Jenny and the Varsity team for coming to MGF!
Here is a recap of the awesome tips:

  • Choosing Your Shoe:   Choose a  shoe based on the type of activity you are participating  in.  A running shoe is not necessarily the best shoe for Zumba.
  • All Feet are NOT Created Equal:  Have your gait evaluated by a professional.  My feet are not like Jay’s feet (for instance, I  have beautiful toes….just sayin’).  Know if you have high arches, low arches, etc., and buy a shoe that will support YOUR feet.
  • To Use an Insert or NOT:  Be careful with inserts ~ Letting a machine at your local drug store determine your insert can be very dangerous.  For example, the machine may tell you that you need extra support.  Placing an extra support insert in a shoe that already provides support would be TOO much support.  Best to have a professional make a recommendation based on your feet and your current shoe choice.
  • Looks Aren’t Everything:  Your shoes can look GREAT, look brandnew, but still be broken down in the areas that count.  The outside of your shoe should NOT be an indicator of replacement.  Keep track of your shoe usage, and make sure you are replacing them before their breakdown breaks YOU down.  Knee pain, shin splints, etc., are often an indication that you  need new shoes (or different shoes!).

Join us TONIGHT, Tuesday, January 31st, for a special visit from Jennifer Peters and the staff of Varsity Sports.  At 6:45 pm, Jenny and her staff will talk about the importance of knowing your shoes!  They will bring in different types of shoes and share the differences in each.  They will be doing “gait” analyses and explaining the differences and how the correct shoes can CHANGE YOUR WORKOUT!  Y’all, you do not wan tho miss this!

In addition, they will be offering a 20% coupon for those attending!  Mark your calendar NOW!

Class Schedule on Tuesday, January 31st:

CXWORX 5:30-6pm

Eat 5-6 meals a day instead of 2-3.  Yes, EAT MORE FREQUENTLY.  Key here is choosing a lean protein, complex carb, and a healthy fat at each “meal.”  Your meals should be smaller ~ think of it as 6 beautiful SMART snacks a day.  Energy levels stay consistent all day – YES, ALL DAY!
