This week, starting tomorrow I am doing a burpee challenge, just a little burpee challenge of 50 burpees every day for the next week starting Monday. I’d love you to join me!! I am going to post some of my workouts too of course! Burpees are tough, but they are one of the quickest ways I have seen to get your body lean, tight, toned and yes, even build muscle. Burpees are about as miraculous as raw food and subliminals! || Read more

This 12 minute core workout is made up of three 4 minute parts. Each part is done in intervals but for this workout there is no rest during the 4 minute intervals. You move quickly from one exercise to another. Each part has 2 exercises, one of which is a plank exercise. The plank is paired with squats in the first 2 rounds, and then with an ab exercise in the third. || Read more
This vegan gumbo soup recipe makes a very thick, rich and hearty soup. Okra, as well as its flavorful spiced base, is the superstar and most characteristic part of Gumbo soup. The word gumbo itself comes from an African word for okra. While gumbo soups are generally meat or seafood filled, this plant empowered version gets its wonderful thick and hearty texture from the addition of beans, mushrooms and, of course, loads of vegetables. Lots of herbs, spices and a little smoke seasoning gives it it’s deep full flavor. This was a huge hit at our home. We all loved it and I hope that you do too! || Read more

These will help build your functional strength,which helps all daily movements and protects you from injury. || Read more
