90 Days of Turbo Fire 06/08/12

This morning marked day 35 of Turbo Fire! I woke up to Chalene Johnson and some rocking music with Fire 55 EZ, 55 min of pure, intense cardio and I loved every minute. I have to admit....., I think I'm addicted to Turbo. I teach it, take live classes and do Turbo Fire at home 6 days a week. I've tried a lot of workouts, but nothing compares to Turbo Kick and Turbo Fire. I could be having a terrible day and not feel like working out, but once I hear the music I'm pumped and ready to go! It's fun, high energy, and I...

Tropical Shakeology with Coconut Milk 04/04/12

I've been trying out a bunch of different recipes for Tropical Shakeology and I think I've narrowed it down to my favorite, and I wanted to share the recipe with you.  Tropical Vegan Strawberry Shakeology has a bit of a chalky consistency compared to the Chocolate and Greenberry flavors, this is due to the Raw Sprouted and Bio-Fermented Brown Rice Protein. I've found that using coconut milk or almond milk with a little water makes this new flavor the perfect consistency. I'm loving my pink shakes in the morning! ...

Chocolate Shakeology Balls 02/28/12

Shakeology can be used in so many different ways! I saw this recipe in Chalene Johnson's new book PUSH, which I highly recommend! These little bite sized snacks are amazing! I made them last week and they disappeared in a few days, between family, friends and myself! I made a second batch and doubled the recipe, making about two dozen. They keep you full for a long period of time and at only 135 calories for two "cookies" how can you say no?! Chocolate Shakeology Balls 1 cup of P...

E&E Energy and Endurance Review 02/19/12

The new E&E Energy and Endurance formula from Beachbody is pretty fantastic. Like most, I was pretty skeptical about a pre-workout formula. I wasn't sure if it would actually help me focus, endure, and remain energized through a 15 mile run or a full turbo kick class. However, I was pleasantly surprised! I teach turbo kick at 6:30 in the evening, after a full day of work and sometimes I'm fatigued from the day. I've tried the new E&E before a few of my classes and I can truly feel a difference. ...

P90X Challenge Starts! 01/24/12

Today was the first day of a 90 day journey for seven people starting the infamous P90X! I have an amazing group composed of four women and three men and each one of them have committed to get the best shape of their lives with P90X, Shakeology, and amazing peer support. You can't fail with that kind of recipe! I can't wait to see what their results are after 30, 60 and 90 days. After just the first day one of the woman said how much she loves Tony Horton's enthusiasm, he made her push harder than she thought she...

Should You Workout When You’re Sick? 01/14/12

It's that time of year, your office co-worker has the sniffles and suddenly you're coming down with the same symptoms. Hello cold and flu season! I have managed to stay cold and flu free for over a year now. Woohoo!! I feel like that's some kind of miracle, or it could be my daily Shakeology?! However, I couldn't seem to battle the cold away this time and found myself with a pounding headache, a runny nose, and chest congestion....bummer. This cold has hit me just two weeks into marathon training and I fin...

Meal Replacement Shakes — The Facts 11/29/11

People often ask me what's in Shakeology? What makes it so great? My first response is, everything! Everything that makes your body run like a well oiled machine is in Shakeology. It is truly  the best meal replacement shake on the market, but don't take my word for it. I recently came across the Shakeology rating on foodfacts.com. Food Facts rates food based on its nutrients, vitamins, and quality of ingredients. Chocolate Shakeology was awarded 97 points! A near perfect score! For a little perspective,...
