Happy New Year Wallpaper
 
Greetings!
 
Did you make a resolution last year?  How did you do? Yeah, me too!  That is why this year I am going to do the following 3 things to keep me on track:
1. I'M MAKING TIME FOR ME!
I'm letting everyone know that I am setting myself as a priority.  I know people will support my goals.  I'm even going to enlist my husband and kids to do a bit more to help me out at home so I have time to stick to my plan. 
2. I'M MAKING SEVERAL MINI RESOLUTIONS.
I'm being realistic! I can resolve myself to not eat unhealthy for 1-week and be successful. To say I will NEVER eat the bad stuff is a setup for failure, so why do that to myself. Baby steps and behavior modification is key.
3. I'M ENLISTING FRIENDS. 
If I have plans to meet a friend at a class, a duet training session, or for a walk, then I know I will stick with it.  We can motivate each other while having some quality bonding time.

My ultimate goal to exercise more this year and be healthy will now be an achievable reality.

Wishing you a very happy, healthy 2013!  xo   Peggy P.

TABATA TRAINING

with Marilee 

Classes:

MONDAYS @9:30AM

THURSDAYS @ 11:00AM 

 

With Tabata training you do high intensity aerobic exercise for 20 seconds then rest for 10 seconds, and repeat 8 times. This with a short preparation time before starting is a Tabata. It's that simple!  This class, aka boot-camp, uses the Pilates equipment.   

 

This technique discovered by Dr. Izumi Tabata in Tokyo gives you maximum benefits in a short period of time.

Benefits:
  • It burns fat! Tabata raises your metabolism (great for morning workouts)
  • It's fast! You gain the same benefits of long drawn out workouts in shorter time
  • It's versatile! You can do heavy weightlifting or light aerobics or anything in between. Do the exercises that are right for you, but do them!
  • It's proven! It really works, this technique has been researched extensively, and it is becoming popular because people are getting results!
Starts Monday, January 7th.
Space is limited to 5, so get enrolled today!
Two-Ingredient Banana Peanut Butter Ice Cream

 

Ingredients:

4 large very ripe bananas
2 tablespoons peanut butter

Directions:

1. Peel bananas and slice into 1/2 inch discs. Arrange banana slices in a single layer on a large plate or baking sheet. Freeze for 1-2 hours.

 

2. Place the banana slices in a food processor or powerful blender. Puree banana slices, scraping down the bowl as needed. Puree until the mixture is creamy and smooth. Add the peanut butter and puree to combine. Serve immediately for soft-serve ice cream consistency. If you prefer harder ice cream, place in the freezer for a few hours and then serve.

 

*Note-if you have a hard time creating a creamy consistency, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of milk to help puree the banana slices. Make sure you use a powerful food processor or blender!
