My new favorite snack!

I can't take all the credit for this tasty treat, as I got the idea from a co-worker a few years ago. It's super easy but so delicious!

FROZEN GRAPES.

Yup, that's it! But they are so sweet and wonderful! Just take a ziploc bag full of clean grapes (my favorites are the purple ones, but green works too), freeze them for a few hours then enjoy! Healthy and delectable!

A new workout to try

I just created a new workout set that I LOVE. Aim for 3 sets of both cardio and strength and take 30 seconds to 1 minute rest between strength and cardio. Equipment you'll need: Medium and heavy weights and a treadmill (5-10lbs.)

Warm-up: Walk at 3.5 for 2 minutes, run at easy pace for 1 minute, run at medium pace for 1 minute, walk at 3.5 for 1 minute. Stretch legs and upper body.

Strength Workout: Aim for 1 minute per exercise then switch immediately to the next...
* Forward lunge with bicep curls (8-10 lb. weights)
* Rear lunge with military press (press weights overhead)
* Rear upper back fly (squeeze shoulder blades together as you lift arms out to the sides)
* Push-ups (either on knees or toes)
* Skull crushers (lying on back, lift arms straight up over chest, then bend only at the elbow, lower the weights to either sides of your head and push back up. Try not to let the shoulders or arms move, just bend at the elbows).

Cardio workout: On the treadmill start at a medium pace (between 5.5 and 6.5), then increase speed .1 every 30 seconds for 5 minutes total. On an exertion scale of 1-10, (1 being extremely easy, 10 being extremely challenging), you should be between a 7-9. If you were less then 7, increase your starting speed next time around.

Repeat both strength and cardio segments 2 more times!

Enjoy and let me know what you think!
