Poise Thanksgiving Health Challenge

Yes, you read that correctly, I wrote Thanksgiving and Health in the same sentence. Because good health is one of the best things to have, and why not be thankful for it this year? I'm not saying you shouldn't indulge in all your favorite traditional foods, and I hardly expect my clients to be on their best behavior this turkey day. However there are a few things we can all do to ensure we don't feel lPlace Settingike absolute sloths the next day (and into the weekend). So I'm challenging you to make a couple EASY, SIMPLE adjustments to your celebration with family and friends this year. And no, I don't think I'm asking too much!.

Got A Question

 

 

Ask and it’ll get answered in this space next newsletter!

This week’s question:

I have no time to workout most weekdays.
What can I do outside of being a
Weekend Gym Warrior?”

Ok, first I need you to define “no time.” If no time means you
literally don’t have even 10 minutes in your day to devote to fitness,
then I suggest you re-prioritize things in your life. But if no time means what it usually means, then I’m guessing you’re busy like everyone
and when it comes to exercising it’s the last thing you make time for
(but you might easily spend 10 minutes browsing on your iPhone).
Think it can’t be done in just 10 minutes? Think again!
Some days 10 minutes is all you need, and if you have 20 minutes on other days that’s even better. Fit this 10-minute routine in anywhere,
no equipment needed. Perform the following for 1 minute each:
Squats, alternating reverse lunges, pushups (on toes or knees),
jumping jacks, alternating front kicks, squat hold with alternating
air punches, plank hold, crunches, right leg side kicks,
left leg side kicks. Done!

  Pecans

Honey Roasted Pecans

Around holiday time, I always try to have one go-to snack that my family will eat and I know is healthy. Here is one of those snacks. You can have these nuts on-hand as an appetizer or simply carry some with you in your car, purse, or gym bag so you're better able to fend off any impulse you might get to reach for the office holiday cookie plate. Pecans are packed with protein and healthy fats and have been proven to help lower cholesterol and help with weight control. That may not sound yummy, but these are! CLICK HERE for ingredients and directions.
