Gymology: Hourglass Workout

 

As a curvy girl myself, I know it's challenging to find clothing to fit and flatter your shape. You can make this process a little easier by keeping those curves as tight as possible.

Do this Hourglass Figure Workout 2-3 times through, 2-3 times a week. If you do these exercises regularly, you will definitely see a change for the better in your figure, no matter your natural shape (click the name of the exercise to see a demonstration)!

Gym-ology: Nike LOCO4EVA Collection

Is love at first sight too strong to describe my feelings for this print? NOPE!  Nike is definitely the frontrunner in the performance meets fashion sportswear department.  No other fitness brand veers away from the plain old black, gray, and navy solid tights like Nike.  This latest limited edition, eye-catcher is the LOCO4EVA print that is was featured on tights, a bodysuit and a sports bra, the latter two are still available, but to my great dismay, the tights are currently out of stock.

Delicious Dishes: Coconut Banana Protein Latte

As a coffee addict lover and health and fitness nut enthusiast, I've been on the lookout for a product that combines protein and coffee.  There are a few on the market but they either lack an authentic coffee flavor or are laden with sugar.  What's a girl to do?  Make her own!  The recipe was inspired by my trainer. He often drinks a gross unique combination of raw oats, coffee, protein powder and water, as a snack.  Since I was already looking for a coffee/protein combo, I took his idea and made it more suitable for human consumption (just kidding C, (not really)). 

 

I made my own coconut milk by blending fresh coconut with water, and then straining it, but you can just use store bought coconut milk, no biggie! Add a scoop of Smooth Banana Dymatize Elite protein powder in a blender with eight ounces of cold black coffee and blend until smooth. Pour in a large glass filled with ice. Add coconut milk to desired taste. Shake the coconut milk before pouring it in the glass for a mock foam/crema.  This is a delicious, non-dairy, gluten free, low sugar, low calorie alternative to any ready-made protein coffee drink on the market.  Enjoy!

Gym-ology: Fun Fitness Gear

 

If your workout wardrobe is basic black, you're missing an opportunity to have fun with your fitness gear.  Putting on fashionable and colorful tops, pants and sneakers really does change your mood, make you feel more confident, and motivate you to work out...even if it's just so you can wear your cute outfits more often!
