Peanut Butter Cup Smoothie!

by

It’s easy to be motivated in January, but what happens after the new year luster wears off?? Hopefully nothing because you have a plan in place that isn’t contingent on motivation. That’s one of the biggest benefits of having a trainer. He/she holds you accountable even when you are not feeling it! Your trainer helps you stick to the plan.

Our plans incorporate three areas: resistance training, cardiovascular conditioning, and supportive nutrition. We have found that the nutrition piece is often the hardest to change. Having healthy options which are both nutritious and yummy helps. With that said, here is another delicious and nutritious smoothie recipe to add to your diet as you pursue healthy eating habits in 2018.

Peanut Butter Cup Smoothie

– 8 oz. Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
– 1 scoop Vanilla Labrada Lean Body Protein Powder
– 1 serving Lindt Dark Chocolate 90% Cocoa
– 1 serving PB2
– ice to preference

Our passion is helping busy Atlantans get fit and stay fit. One common hurdle to getting fit is actually starting. Starting something as involved as an exercise routine can be daunting and overwhelming for many people. If this describes your feelings then you are not alone.

GET FIT BY FINDING YOUR STARTING POINT.

Here is a piece of wisdom – start small. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen someone get excited about starting an exercise program only to fall victim to injury due to an overly aggressive start. Save yourself the hassle and start small. Take a walk … a jog … stretch. Just move!

START SMALL.

Remember, getting started is half the battle. Don’t make excuses. Everyone’s busy. Don’t put it off until tomorrow. Make it happen today.

I’ve found one common hurdle to staying fit is boredom. Another is injury. You can avoid both by frequently switching up your programming. I change my clients’ programming every four weeks. Research shows the body adapts every 3-4 weeks and needs some confusion to keep progressing. It so happens that 3-4 weeks is usually the span of time it takes for someone to get bored with their current routine as well! So switch gears. Try something different. Add some variety.

STAY FIT BY SWITCHING UP YOUR EXERCISE PROGRAMMING.

There are a multitude of different ways to organize workouts but here are a couple of my favorites.

Program #1

  • Monday, Wednesday, Friday – Full body resistance focus
  • Tuesday, Thursday – Cardio focus

Program #2

  • Monday, Thursday – Upper body focus
  • Tuesday, Friday – Lower body focus
  • Wednesday, Saturday – Cardio, core, stretch/ yoga focus

Switching up your exercise selection if huge …. At EF we use a variety of modalities … including kettlebells, swiss and bosu balls, TRX, bands, machines, free weights, and your own body weight.
