Lifestyle

Live or On Demand. We don’t skip a beat, a move or a rep. We push, we show up, we do the hard work and the hard work pays off… and it doesn’t always feel like hard work! Most of the time it feels like fun!😉
It’s work, it’s fun, it’s engaging, it’s pushing your limits, it’s about strength, cardio, tone, muscle and it’s a class you can do at home in only 45 minutes! When it’s over… you will want more! 😉
So tired… It’s time for bed!

ISRAEL Somewhere in the Negev… Wonder after Wonder… 🇮🇱
Vacation- No Workout- No Way! I still get my move on while on vacation! It makes me feel good and it allows me to keep my body feeling healthy. It also gives me some freedom of calorie intake ( you know that means I feel better when I eat more or indulge a little!) I move because I want to. I also can do my FIT45 Vacation Workout Classes with only resistance bands or modify my regular daily workout program as seen here. This is the Monday lower body day for today and without weights I used water bottles- large 1.5 liters and 2 packs of 6… and boy did that feel good! Do you enjoy working out on vacation?

Here is an Upper Body Circuit to try! Start with a heavier set of weights. Decrease in weight as you need while you progress round by round. Your weight should still feel challenging during your last round! Keep in mind “heavier” weight for each exercise will mean you need a variety of weights to work with. Your shoulders can handle more than your triceps! Let me know how you feel when you finish!
There is nothing like a hotel breakfast! Right?! As Holiday Season approaches I want to share a few tips for enjoying a guilt-free vacation breakfast buffet! 1. 1 and Done! Fill a nice plate up with food! Have a seat, enjoy, eat slowly. No seconds! 2. Have a glass of water before you eat! 3. Make sure to divide your plate between protein as well as some vegetables. Then you can fill in a starch and dessert. Your first bite usually sets the tone for your meal so choose to start with a protein or vegetable. 4. Enjoy the experience not just the food! 5. Yes, you paid for it… but that doesn’t mean you need to eat the equivalent of what your room cost per night!😉 You’ve got this! And just in case you are wondering… the breakfast buffet at @waldorfastoriajerusalem is absolutely delicious!

Breakfast is super important and it’s even more important when it’s after a really good workout! Many women I work with are unsure about what to eat or how much to eat after a workout and it varies if you are in a weight loss, weight gain or maintenance mode. Here are a few of my Post-Workout Breakfast options for you: If you worked out early in the morning and you need to recover this meal is an important one to catch your hunger, satiate you and set your whole day up for success. A good post workout breakfast includes PROTEIN to help you feel full and build/ retain muscle, and CARBOHYDRATES (or a fiber full carb) to give you energy for your day, keep your sugars regulated and help you feel satiated. A good breakfast should consumed within an hour after your workout is completed, helps kill cravings, is low in sugar and can get you to lunch without a mid morning snack (that’s optional in my opinion). “Catch your hunger” - I say this all the time in regard to recovering from an intense workout. If you don’t eat properly to serve your body after you exercise you may be hungry for hours after, you may find yourself searching for something to eat, unsure of what to keep grabbing and not feeling satisfied. So, put together a balanced breakfast, make the time, add a few slices of berries or banana if you need something “sweet” and don’t be afraid to have a “larger” breakfast than usual! Now let that revved up metabolism work!!! 😉 If you try any of these Post Workout Breakfast options: Take a pic & Tag me so we can celebrate!

Fitness & Fashion… my 💙’s! You will find me in 👠 more than 👟, dressed up more than dressed down, makeup, hair done and accessories to match! BUT deep down this girl is in her element from 5:25am-6:15am teaching, training and motivating others to reach their health & fitness goals! Heads up: If you see me at 6:20am it’s not pretty! 🤪I’m a post workout “sweaty mess”… it’s a side you get to see if you workout with me! 😉

Sweaty and Smelly! ➡️ 🙋‍♀️ That’s Me Post Workout! I need to peel my clothes off of my body after most of my classes. That’s from taking my class too as I train it too. It’s the same for me even if I hit play and workout to one of my pre-recorded classes. It’s just work! Work that pushed you! Work that makes you burn! Work that makes your heart rate increase! Work that makes you sweat! Work that produces results! So the next time you finish your workout ask yourself: “Did I work hard enough?” See how you feel. Do you need to hit the shower right away? 😉 Fun Fact: Many women in my FIT10 & FIT45 Fitness Programs who never used to sweat when exercising before, sweat now! Sweat is not always a determination of how hard you worked but it does sometimes let you know how much energy you expended, how your heart rate is moving and how hard you worked. Listen to your body!
Upper Body never felt so good! Workout with me from home either live or on demand. Save time, see results and benefit from the community of women who are changing their lives in the Coach Ellie FIT45 Program!
