My New Love

I am in LOVE with my new blender! Yes I know, har har a blender, how sad is that?!! But it's true. And this isn't just any old blender. This is the Top of the line, Ninja Professional 1000 watt blender!

And not only is it one of the most sophisticated pieces of technology in my home, but it's also the healthiest!

Two nights ago I made my very own home made Salsa! So delicious, healthy, and preservative free. Here is the recipe:
- 5x whole washed Roma Tomatoes
- 1/2 white Onion
- 4 sprigs of fresh Cilantro
- Juice of 1x lime
- 1x tsp of Tabasco sauce.
-Blend for 5 seconds, and Poof! Tasty healthy snacks, served with Organic Gluten Free Nachos.

It's also amazing at making Smoothies, and Protein Shakes. It just pulverises the ice into creamy smooth deliciousness!

Today's Workout - January 5, 2010

Hello Health & Fitness Seekers! Are you ready for today's workout? Day #2 of working your butt off in 2011!!

This workout is a lot more challenging than yesterdays. But I think you should be adequately warmed up, and ready to attack this, so let get going!

This workout is actually from Nov 29, 2010. It's ok to repeat workouts, but not too often. Every 2-4 weeks is good. Remember to always keep your body guessing. Try new activities, work harder, feel the burn and sweat like a hooker in Church! LOL

Click Here for today's workout VIDEO. Today's workout can be completed in your home, condo gym, or fitness centre. No excuses for missing out!

Remember to drink lots of water! And stretch after, for 5-7 minutes.

Salba - Powerful Whole Food

Salba is one of Natures most powerful whole foods. Loaded with Omega 3, Fibre, & Antioxidants, it's clearly an excellent choice to add into your daily diet for optimal health. Per 12g serving (2 tbsp) Salba has:
- 2.5 g Omega 3
- 4.2 g Fibre
- 2.6 g Protein
- 840 Antioxidant orac value

It's also gluten and GMO free, and comes in ground or whole seed form. But I recommend ground.
You can add it to almost any food or snack. Cereal, oatmeal, yogurt, salads, smoothies, shakes, mashed sweet potatoes, and more. You can find Slaba at your local grocery store in the Natural Foods section.

How to Stay Lean

FIBER!!

Eating foods high in fiber can keep you lean by filling you up so you eat less. Also, by eating natural high fiber foods, you'll be eating healthy, and keeping your fat in check.

Foods that are high in fiber are:
- Vegetables
- Fruit
- Beans
- Lentils
- Whole Grains
- Nuts & Seeds

It also includes High Quality Protein:
- Fish
- Seafood
- Low Fat Organic Dairy Products

And in Moderation:
- Some types of Beer

By eating well, you fill up on fewer calories!

First Workout for 2011

My recommendation for your first workout back after the holidays is to take it a bit easier than you normally would.

You may (or may not) have had any exercise in the past two weeks, so it's ok to ease back into your routine. Heading in full tilt might derail your efforts, make you soar and in turn make you not want to work out again for the rest of the week.

I would start off with some light-to-moderate cardio activity. 30-45 minutes is fine. Bike, Treadmill, Stairs, Elliptical, or other.
Followed by some abdominal exercise - 5 minutes worth, and stretching.

1. Crunch Twist
2. Ball Crunch
3. Bicycle Kick
4. Oblique V - Up
5. * Complete each for 60-90 seconds.

Day #2 we'll get back to weights! Aren't you excited!! ;^)

2011 Resolutions

What are your 2011 resolutions?

Lose weight? Get fit? Increase your energy? Build Muscle? Enjoy Life?

I have a number of resolutions this year. The main one though is to enjoy my life, and try new things. One of my friends often says that your body is a byproduct of the life you live. I'm starting to believe that is true more and more, as each day passes. Live a full life, try different things, stay active and keep fit, and your body will show this lifestyle. You will be strong, healthy, and happy.

But you know what?...If eating lots of rich food, drinking lots of booze, and taking in no exercise is what you enjoy in life, and you have no desire to change it. Then do it! If it makes you happy, and does not hurt other people in the process, then you should be able to enjoy your life however you want to!

BUT if you do want to makes some lifestyle changes in 2011. Do it! Don't sit around talking about it. Make the change you want to see in yourself. You're the only one who can.

Follow along with BroncoFit this year. I promise to have workout routines, healthy eating tips, and everything wellness posted daily to help you along your journey, and achieving your 2011 goals!

PS - Oh, and just in case you are wondering what the rest of my 2011 resolutions are:
- Loose 5 more pounds, and keep it off. (I was successful in loosing 5 lbs over the holidays)
- Wake up earlier in the mornings to get another workout in before the office.
- Manage my finances better.
