Breakfast

I usually eat something different than my kids for Breakfast.  I try and rotate between the following;  Oatmeal, homemade granola, eggs and toasts, German pancakes, Breakfast burritos, Norweigan pancakes.  The other day I wanted to just make something filling for them with the stuff they love.  Although I can't say I make everything from scratch nor is it all organic.  I do however take comfort from anything I put more prep in. or make myself.

make a crust like you would for pizza- Found in back to basics or use 2 pillsbury crescent rolls packages.  Roll out and squish seams together.  Cover with slighly undercooked scrambled eggs, sausage or bacon, peppers or anything else you choose.  I Baked according to time needed as on package to cook crust.

Workouts.........Answers to why???

I don't work out to be skinny....I workout to be fit, strong, healthy both physically and mentally. 

I am dedicating this page to reasons why to workout, benefits, and different kinds of workout tools.

Grip above shoulders to work triceps, 

                                                              Wider Grip to work the Chest.  Do some presses!

  Think about working all areas of the body to become a fitter athlete.

Bicep curls to shape the Arms,   Squats to shape the legs and glutes, lunges to shape hamstrings, quads, core stability.  

Why YOU need weight resistant training.

1) Increased functional ability

2) Increased bone density

3)  Increased Fat-Free mass

4)  Enhanced feelings of well being

5)  Improved quality of life

6)  Increased strength of connective tissue

Everyone does not need to grab a barbell and lift a hundred lbs. What everyone does need to do is increase their bodies lean muscle tissue through any means possible.  You can even lift a can of soup for bicep curls while in the kitchen and it will be better than doing nothing.  

Where to start?

2.5-5lb for bicep focus 10-12 reps, 2 sets

10lb resting on shoulders or just holding by chest for squats.  10-20 squats, 2 sets

Hold a 5lb weight and use for sit ups

Just start there or better yet go to a CLASS or get other great tips from sites such as

fitness magazine, shape magazine, fit tv, sugar fit, bodybuilding.com and more...

IF you're not ready for Weights try resistance tubing exercises.
