  • My go-to is a smoothie, it takes about 5 minutes to prepare. Lately it's comprised of: 3/4 cup of greek yogurt, 2 cups spinach, 1 cup mixed berries, 1 cup of matchstick carrots, and a bit of ginger root. After that I have about 1/4 cup of almonds or some other nut. If that isn't your thing I used to also pre-make TONS of…

  • Good luck! Well I haven't had an exercise bike I did use a bike trainer for awhile. I had the most success with it when I would tie it to something I enjoyed. For example, this was when the second or third season of House of Cards was coming out and I was hooked. I made a rule for myself that I could only watch HoC when I…

  • I recommend Strong Lift 5x5 (this can be found online with great detail and explanation). It's a simple three day a week lifting program. It starts with very little weight (i.e. the bar) BUT if you check your ego, follow the program, focus on form, and stick with it you will build a phenomenal base for lifting and…

  • Motivation comes and goes, so my goal is to form lasting habits instead. When motivation fails that's when habits and discipline kick in! I'm going about it by making routines (morning and evening) which both incorporate healthy habits (e.g. meal prep, stretching, working out, drinking water, etc.) and bribing myself to…
