Tips for Starting Couch 2 5K

Posted on February 23 2018

 

Couch to 5K was one of the very first things that introduced me to running. Several years ago, I started couch25k with my then 8-year-old daughter. When I say I started, I mean I started over several times, too. If you're not familiar with couch25k, it's a training program for very beginning athletes who want to learn how to run a 5k. It incorporates 9 weeks of running training as well as rest days in there. Couch to 5K is a wonderful program for anyone who wants to complete their first 5k this year. Here are my tips for starting couch to 5K and making it a success for you.

Tips for Toning Arms

Posted on January 24 2018

 

One of my very favorite places to work out on my body is my arms. It was also one of the very first places I saw some actual muscle building taking place and I became extremely excited about it. Although I often do my toning in the gym, sometimes I like to take things outdoors and away from the gym and combine my running with strength training exercises. These tips for toning arms will come in handy if you don't like to go to the gym all the time or if you happen to be out on a run and want to add something extra. Some of these you can even do while your run. You don't even need to have weights!

 

What I love about these next 4 exercises for toning arms is that none of them require me to get on the ground and do push-ups or planks. When I'm out running or jogging, I can do these easily in a park or on a trail. You don't have to do these while running, and you can even do these indoors. Here are four moves for toning your arms that I love.

Chocolate Banana Ultimate Protein Pudding

Posted on January 17 2018

 

I learned a long time ago that if you were going to engage in a healthy, active lifestyle, you would need to up your protein intake. Sometimes this can seem almost impossible. I like to rely on food such as cottage cheese because it's super protein-rich and easy to make. However, that can get rather boring and I'll be honest I'm not a big fan of plain old protein shakes. Protein powder is something that can make getting protein in easy, however, I like to kick up the blandness of it by using it in recipes rather than just drinking it. This chocolate banana ultimate protein pudding recipe has a whopping 35 grams of protein and is so simple to make. It's practically dessert in a cup, too! Because of its high protein content, it can help as a recovery or a pre-workout. The bananas in it also help before or after workouts because they are high in potassium and have a little boost of carbohydrates to either give you energy for a workout or help you recover from one. This recipe is also a Frugal one and can be made in as little as five minutes. Check out my recipe for chocolate banana ultimate protein pudding!

How to Build Stamina in the Gym

Posted on January 10 2018

 

Fitness requires stamina. One of the biggest challenges, though, is building it. Building stamina not only will help you and your fitness journey but will also help you outside the gym as well in your everyday life. Having stamina means you'll have more energy for your day-to-day activities. It is important to note that stamina and endurance are not the same thing. Stamina is the ability to put your body through a steady pace (or stressful physical situation) for a determined pace. Endurance, on the other hand, is the ability to go as far as you need to go no matter what pace you keep. The two terms are not interchangeable. Either way, building stamina will help build endurance. Here are some tips for how to build stamina in the gym.
