Back to School Workout Series
Back to School Workout Series

With 3 daughters heading off to college this Fall, I wanted to put together a workout series that they could easily incorporate into their collegeate routine. Finding time to exercise can not only help you fight the college weight gain, but it can improve your focus and concentration as well as improve your mood and reduce anxiety and stress. There are 4 workouts in this Back to School Workout Series.  If you are working out 3 days a week, I would suggest doing the upper body workout,  lower body workout and cardio core workout.  If you are wanting to make fitness part of your daily routine, I would suggest doing  upper body, cardio/core, full body, cardio/core, lower body. So colleatates...start your year off not only nourishing your mind, but also nourishing your body. Healthy life, happy life!

Ginger Lemon Water as an Appetite Suppressant????

Ginger not only tastes refreshing and is so pleasing to my taste buds, it has soooooo many proven health benefits.  It's an amazing, ancient root that really does fall under the catagory of "super food".  I decided to try making my own ginger water initially to use in teas and cocktails.
