Those Flabby Arms

We all focus on our stomach or thighs, then all of a sudden when we have on a sleeveless shirt realize our arms are doing something kind of funny! Well arms for me are very hard to control, but after doing several different exercises I know the ones that work the best and the fastest. Do this routine 1 to 2 times a week and you'll have those tight arms. Yes these exercises hurt, but yes they also work

Bye Bye Jiggly Arms (3 sets 12 reps each)

Tricep dips
Push ups
Wide bicep curls straight into narrow bicep curls
Swing less chin ups ( hold weights in hands,  touch the, together and raise up to your chin, then back down)
Tricep kickbacks
Bicep curl/ over head extension

Use the heaviest weights you can while not straining.

Basic Needs

Hello! Hello!

I have noticed that a lot of people have no idea where to start when it comes to eating healthy. They are so overwhelmed that they just don't even start.  My motto is to start basic then every week add one new "thing" to your food repertoire. Here is a basic no fuss list to get you started, it should last you one week.

List
Vegetables-bell peppers, onions, sweet potato, frozen broccoli, fresh green beans, asparagus, carrots, cucumber, tomato, spinach, and spring mix lettuce

Fruit: banana, pink grapefruit, dried berries, blueberries, strawberries, apples, lemon, cantaloup, and pineapple

Grains: brown rice, quinoa, and oatmeal, whole wheat English muffin

Meats: tilapia, salmon, chicken breast, ground lean turkey breast, chicken sausage, and lean pork tenderloin

Dairy&Non-dairy: unsweetened almond milk, non fat Greek yogurt, egg whites

Other: extra virgin olive oil and or coconut oil, raw almonds, Mrs. Dash seasonings, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, protein powder, organic almond butter or peanut butter


Take your time and create recipes from these basic items. Remember 4-6oz of meat and unlimited vegetables.

It's okay to-grill, bake, sauté, or steam your food. No butter or other oils need to be used.


Happy Shopping!
