Hello to My Fabz!
The winter blues are coming to a halt as the spring season comes into play next week! How exciting to finally have the warmer weather approach us. As the sun rises earlier and the day stretches longer, this leaves a more energetic and happier route to the fabulous and fit you!
One of the most important things I have seen and experienced myself is to start your day with a protein-filled breakfast. Eating a full breakfast, packed with protein, will keep you full and active throughout the day - allowing you to fit into that polka dot bikini you have been staring at all winter long.
Some quick and easy breakfast ideas include grabbing a smoothie from one of your favorite health food stores or blending one up yourself. A good recipe I found from Fitness Magazine goes as follows:
6 ounces low-fat vanilla yogurt
1 scoop whey protein powder
1/2 cup berries
1 ounce nuts
Calories: 439
This makes for a protein filled breakfast that will keep you full and active throughout the day!
You can also make yourself an egg white omlette with reduced fat cheese. When I am running pretty late, I like to grab a yogurt bar on my way out. Other times, I grab my plain Greek Yogurt (with probiotics), add some granola or honey oats bar, a spoon and yum, I'm ready for the day!
Do you have any quick and nutritious breakfast ideas? Please feel free to share! I'd love to hear them!

Defying gravity
Hey All you Fabulous people!
It's back to reality from my vacation in Miami; Oh how I wish I could go back! The good part is it makes me more and more eager for summer to come, which truly is right around the corner!
While enjoying the sunny relaxation, I came across something really cool called Anti-Gravity Yoga.
This is a combination of ballet, dance, yoga, and standing pilates movements. It utilizes a hammock in which you can perform inversions, twists, and pretty much hang around. The exercises performed help to decompress your joints and spine, making you feel leaner and taller and relive any joint pain you may be having.
I haven't actually tried this class out, but it sure does look like a lot of fun! Is this how aerial acrobats train? This was invented by the Anti Gravity Acrobat Group and really has taken flight, as this class is offered in every CRUNCH fitness gym around the USA including New York, Miami, and LA.
Check it out for yourself! I have posted some videos on this Anti-Gravity phenomenon, as it has been featured on CW11 and The View.
Who wants to come try this class out with me!? We can hang loose and fly around!
Let's defy gravity together :)
