Really enjoying the classes, nice change from my regular type fitness classes (T.V)

 

Thanks, this is very helpful!  It's nice not to feel like I have to do 60 minutes of cardio every day, doing the same run each time, and I've felt more of a workout from Tuesday/Thurs this past week than from any of the intense circuit training I've done in the past. (m.f) 

I realized that I cannot live without SkinnyLegs, so I'm rejoining your classes...

Excited to get back!! (c.c)

 

That was a good class last night. I feel it EVERYWHERE today. (r.n)

I know, you like the bathing suit, but take a second to notice the tone arms and back, not to mention her high bum! We can do this!
  
We've been focusing a lot on arms, hamstrings and butt the last few weeks and will continue to do so as short shorts are calling!
  
It is possible! You don't have to live with cellulite! You just need to push it big time with our hamstring lifts and watch the smoothing and toning!
  
  
Yes I like this bikini as well!  

                    LUNCH DETOX

  

CHILLED SOUP! LENTIL SALAD! 

As though you were embracing a part time nutritional detox cleanse, eating a really clean, refreshing lunch (or dinner!) puts you on the right track and can keep you energized through your workouts! Try either of these quickies!
  
 
 
 
 
Smoky Roasted Red Pepper Soup
4 Red Peppers
1 lb tomatoes
2 TBS sherry vinegar
1 TBS olive oil
1 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  
To roast the red peppers, brush with a small amount of olive oil and place on a hot grill until black on all sides. Plop into a sealable plastic bag for about 5 minutes and the skins should peel right off. Running under cool water can help with the seeds after the skins are off.
Combine all other ingredients and puree.
Chill at least one hour
Garnish with a bit of olive oil and chopped chives or sage leaves
  

Fizzy Melon Soup

4 slices prosciutto

5 cups cantaloupe, cubed

2 TBS agave nectar

2 cups prosecco (or sparkling water)

 

In a non stick skillet over medium high heat, crisp the prosciutto for about 1 to 2 min per side, let cool, then crumble. 

In a food processor, pulse the cantaloupe and agave until finely chopped but not totally smooth.  Stir in the prosecco.

Divide among four bowls, garnish each with prosciutto and fresh basil 

 

LENTIL SALAD

 

1 TBS Dijon mustard

2 TBS any wine or sherry vinegar

4 TBS olive oil

1 tsp salt

black pepper to taste

4 cups cooked or canned lentils, drained

                     HEALTHY COFFEE?!

  

What I really love is being able to learn and share more and more of how we can become the best versions of ourselves. 

  

We have spoken about wheatgrass and lemon water creating an alkaline environment in our bodies (cancer grows in an acidic environment...listening?) and now we're learning about a coffee that has an extract (ganoderma - from mushrooms) that can allow us the same benefit and much more.

 

One of our SkinnyGals is involved with this company so we wanted to share the info with you! 

 

Organo Gold - Healthy Coffee and Tea!

 

To most people their cup of coffee in the morning is not a luxury it is a necessity, yet we often forget that caffeine and high acidity levels of coffee is known to effect the body's nervous system, cause dehydration, and reduce the body's pH levels. It can take up to 17 cups of water to neutralize the pH level in your body after drinking 1 cup of coffee!

 

Organo Gold's Arabica coffee and tea products are infused with 100% certified organic Ganoderma Lucidum, a mushroom known by the Chinese as the "Miraculous King of Herbs". It is the highest-ranked herb in Chinese pharmacopeia and has been used in traditional medicine for over 4,000 years for its ability to improve the body's overall performance.

 

The benefits of the potent herb include:

-          Balancing the pH level in your body

-          Detoxify the liver

-          Regulate the immune system

-          Anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and anti-cancer properties

-          Rapidly oxygenating the body (allowing more exertion of energy)

-          Aids in weight-loss (by increasing your metabolic rate)

-          Supporting the quality of sleep

-          Lowering stress levels

-          Fights free-radicals with more antioxidants than orange juice

-          Decreases the symptoms of seasonal allergies

 

Organo Gold coffee only has about 9mg of caffeine compared to most coffee's that have approximately 135mg! As a result of infusing Organo Gold's Arabica coffee with Ganoderma, the herb neutralizes the acidity of the coffee when you drink it, giving the coffee a smoother taste.

 

Make a better choice to your daily lifestyle; change your coffee, change your life!

 

Organo Gold - "Bringing the treasures of the earth to the people of the world."

ABOUT SKINNYLEGS

 

SkinnyLegs™ gets into the smaller secondary muscles and literally pulls them in creating a longer, slimmer version of yourself! Other exercise classes promote calorie torching which is great for losing water weight, but if your goal is to be smaller, than SkinnyLegs™ is for you!

 

SkinnyLegs works your entire body to sculpt long and lean arms, legs, glutes and abs through a series of exercises with benefits taken from the ballet and pilates world together with the spirited NON-BULKING interval cardio!

 

SkinnyLegs utilizes purely your own body weight as resistance training to strengthen, define, tighten, firm and sculpt feminine arms ( light weights are incorporated ), legs, abs and bums. It has been proven that with repetitive exercise focusing on the larger muscles (ie. the treadmill, running, biking...) your larger muscles will do what they are meant to do, become larger and stronger.

 

SkinnyLegs women's only classes will contract your smaller secondary muscles, keeping them guessing through weekly changing exercises and therefore working to create a long, lean physique. The cardio portion incorporates interval training which enhances your results, your endurance and flexibility.

 

The very nature of the SkinnyLegs program is weekly changing and increasingly challenging to keep you interested and your muscles continually working in the right direction, smaller, tighter, stronger, leaner.
