DID YOU KNOW…
Amanda Lynn Mayhew-Hare, Fitness Coach and Model
…muscle is almost as dense as fat; a pound of fat is 1.7 times bigger than a pound of muscle. So even though muscle weighs more than fat, fat makes you look bigger.
…that a 145 lb. person burns about 300 calories in 30 minutes on the elliptical trainer.
If you like to run… Many runners believe they have to run a lot of miles each week to be able to race in a marathon. However, the opposite is often true. Running too many miles can slow you down. Set up a program to run fast and short on some days and long on others. A goal for fast days could be to run repeat intervals with short rests in between each. On longer days, run at a steady pace for about 90 minutes. Interval training will also keep it fun, supercharge your fitness, burn off extra fat, and boost your metabolism.
I am not a huge fan of water but I know it is good for me, so I drink it. However, I have found the perfect product to drink my water and get my nutrients from my daily tea intake without the extra sugars. Tetley Infusions. You can even pick them up at the Bargain Shop, here in town!
Here is a recipe I found that will keep you cool on these summer nights.
