How to Train Like the Pros

Not everyone wants to be a body builder or compete on stage but for some reason we all love the look. We drool over it as we flip through fitness magazines or as we watch our favorite shows on television. We put hours and hours of workouts in and spend tons of money on products we probably don't need. So today I am going to give you a few tips to train like a pro without actually stepping foot on stage.

 

Tip 1: Stay consistent
 

Don't start a regiment and then stop. Stay consistent with your routine. If your going to workout daily then do it. Consistent allows your body to prosper. Start a calendar or a take a notebook and keep track of what you do and when you do it.

Tip 2: Eat clean 
 

You just left work and see McDonalds coming up on your right. Don't stop!!! Keep going. Eating out constantly at fast food restaurants sets you back when it comes to your goals. There are tons of clean eating recipes that allow you to have the same satisfaction. Grocery shop and prep your food for a week so you can just grab and go.

Tip 3: Meal Prep 
 

You work five days a week but still have to get to gym, pick kids up, or even attend school. Sundays are the best days to grocery shop and prep food for the week. Prepping allows you to always have the right foods available to you daily. Pack your bag because eating out is not an option. 

Tip 4: Drink up
 

The human body is mostly made up of water. That's how we function. The more water we drink the better our body works and we stay hydrated. Our muscles love it.

Tip 5: Up your weight
 

We spend all our time in the gym being scared to pick up a heavier weight and bust it out. Ladies, heavy weights are okay. The heavier the weight the better the definition and the nicer the muscle. Pick it up!!

Tip 6: Be mindful of what your putting in your body. 
 

I have to admit, I have tried tons of fat burners and to my surprise only found one out of a gazillion that actually work. In the end though I honestly regret putting all those crazy things in my body. Try to find what works for you upfront to avoid dragging your body through harsh times. Also, try natural things first. Don't limit yourself to what's on the shelf in your local GNC.

Tip 8: Stay Humble

This tip is one of the most important tips. No matter how much training you do or how big and beautiful you get lifting those weights, stay humble. Helping others is what counts the most. Sharing ideas between other women not only help you learn new things but helps them as well.

I'm sure there are 567,896,278 ways to train like a pro but in my struggle to fit these have been my top tips to go by. So get started! Get fit!

Perfect Smoothies

Summer time has come and the only thing I have been able to come up with to keep cool is "the perfect smoothie." Smoothies are wonderful for on the go and right after a workout. Starting Monday I will be sharing a perfect smoothie for 5 days straight. In the meantime I will share with you how I make my smoothies from bottom to top to benefit my daily needs.

From bottom to top, I stack my smoothie using a unique formula. I start with the base, then I add my booster, greens/veggies, and then fruit. Here's the breakdown.

Base: water, coconut milk, milk, almond milk, hemp milk, coconut water, or yogurt.

Booster: Stevia, protein powder, antioxidant powder, almond butter, peanut butter, coconut oil, and flaxseed. (There are tons of different options)

Greens/Veggies: Kale, spinach, broccoli, pumpkins, carrots, sweet potatoes, and more. (Your choice)

Fruit: Strawberries, blueberries, peaches, apples, watermelon, and more. (Your choices)

Smoothies can be made in over a million different ways but always remember you want your smoothie to have beneficial nutrients in it to support your daily lifestyle. So stay tuned because I will be sharing tons of new smoothie recipes with you.

Whether in a cup or on a stick, stay cool this summer.

Strawberry Protein Pancakes

The best part of my day is getting to eat a great breakfast. Once I wake up in the morning I run straight to do my fasted cardio. Right after I'm done I'm starving. You will love this easy and already measured out recipe for your morning breakfast. 

Earlier in the week I was flipping through Instagram and I ran across Met-Rx pancake mix. It's a protein packed pancake mix giving you at least 12g of protein in a serving. Best thing yet is it's original buttermilk flavor. It doesn't have a protein taste to it nor any kind of nasty after taste. It is delicious even plain.

Strawberry protein Pancakes

Ingredients:

-2 scoops of Met-Rx protein pancake mix

(Depends on how much your wanting)

-1/3 cup of water

-diced strawberries

After mixing water and pancake mix you are ready to pour and flip. Once pancakes are done drizzle strawberries and juice over stack to your liking. You can even mix strawberries in mix like I did. 

This recipe is just so simple and delicious especially on the go. So eat up and enjoy.

                                                                    So delicious,
