Happy Memorial Day ...
"Strategies for a Fit & Healthy Summer!"
I can't believe  this weekend is Memorial Day - it's the unofficial start to summer and definitely one of my favorite times of year. School is just about finished for the year, we will be attending graduation parties, weddings, family reunions, picnics & BBQ's, it will soon be time for long week ends away and family vacations. However, good times, fun times and party times can turn into challenging times for keeping your fitness routine on track! Since it's the unofficial start to summer I thought I'd publish the results of my unofficial survey - here are some helpful strategies for a fit and healthy summer from clients, colleges and people just like you!
Make Exercise a Fun, Family Event. When you can't make it to the gym get the kids involved in your fitness routines, walk, bike, jog or run in the park; pick a child friendly sport; throw a Frisbee; play catch! Use your imagination, the possibilities are endless!
Eat Fresh & Local. Fresh fruits and veggies are just coming in season be sure to check out one of the local growers markets in your area. Dip fresh fruit in yogurt for a tasty snack. Fresh veggies are great raw, steamed, grilled or on kabobs - check below for a yummy Black Bean Salad!
Party Survival. A couple of my favorite tips. Always eat before you attend a party. Umbrella drinks can contain a ton a
calories; opt for a lighter beverage such as a
light beer or white wine. As far as appetizers, when possible stick to fresh fruit and
veggies but know what's in the dip! And of course Portion Control!
Vacation Time. Keep your vacation as active as possible; walk, swim, snorkel, play tennis or golf! When possible get a hotel with some sort of fitness
facility, but when that's not an option, body weight exercises are fantastic - jumping jacks, push
ups, squats & crunches to name a few! Check out my blog for the Beach Workout! A couple more of my on the road secrets are - always take the steps and get
to know the city you are visiting by foot!

  Black bean salad can be served hot or cold so make extra and keep it in the refrigerator. This can make a hearty lunch when served by itself or a great side dish with chicken, steaks or anything off the grill. The way we like to make this is with the freshest least processed ingredients so I start by soaking my black beans in cold water over night to soften them. The onions, peppers and corn are all readily available this time of year in your grocery store. If corn on the cob is available definitely grill an ear or two for this salad, the grilled corn adds a great flavor. If not frozen corn is better than canned. The prep is pretty simple, heat a medium size skillet with the olive oil and sauté the onions, garlic and peppers until they are soft but not blanched. Add the cooked corn, trimmed off the cob and stir in the black beans and simmer on low heat until all the ingredients are warm, stirring regularly so nothing burns. Add the spices, toss lightly with a spoon and serve.
INGREDIENTS
˝ lb of black beans (about 1 cup)
˝ cup of corn
˝ cup of chopped peppers, green & red
1 small onion finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic, minced
2 tbsp. extra light olive oil
1 tsp. Adobo all purpose seasoning
˝ tsp. oregano
serves 4
