Workout Wednesday: Tabata Circuit Arms + Abs
Photography: Melinda Pike Photography Today I am so excited to share with you one of my favorite workouts! You may have heard of high intensity Tabata workouts but if not, here is the basic idea. What is Tabata? It is a method of high intensity training to burn major calories and gain tone & strength. You work ALL OUT for 20 seconds, rest 10 seconds and complete 8 rounds (4 sets). This will have you complete each circuit for a total of 4 minutes with a 1 minute rest before moving on to the second circuit. Overall you will perform 4 circuits for a killer awesome 20 minute workout! Don’t worry, I will break everything down for you :) Todays Tabata circuit will be focused on arms and abs! Arms & Abs Tabata Circuits: … [Read more...]
Toddler Test Kitchen
A few weeks ago, Ry and I were able to attend the Toddler Test Kitchen at the Halle Heart Children's Museum.

Yaffi, of Baby Bloom Nutrition, guided everyone through each step and also explained added benefits of letting the littles do as much of the work … [Read more...]
Wellness Wednesday: Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins
Lately, I have been having a huge craving for sugar and honestly it has been making me feel like crap. I notice a huge difference in how my day goes based on what I eat and fuel my body with. I wanted a snack that would curb my sugar craving without stuffing junk in my face. Most muffins average around 300-400 calories a serving so I decided to make a snack I could grab and go without ruining my day. These muffins are super dense and filling while amazingly staying at just 142cal! This picture is a little deceiving because the bananas I used were soooo ripe they were entirely brown. But I figured that wouldn't be too appetizing in a photo so I grabbed a fresh bunch from our table. I will tell you a secret though, the riper the banana the … [Read more...]
