While trick-or-treaters may be house-hopping and candy-popping this weekend, I’ll continue consuming my healthy supplements on the ☼daily!
Ginkgo Biloba : to promote mental focus
Centrum VitaMints® : to aquire essential nutrients in a tasty way
I’ve come a long way since my childhood Flinstones chewables ~ which I doubt are the best bet for my teeth with the acidity
I’m still not a fan of swallowing tablets without having water and food in handy
Therefore, I’m all about double-duty of fulfilling my ☼daily☼ needs while freshening my breath !
Of course, I don’t skimp on the actual food that I need to fuel my brain and body ~ which I’m actually including in an analogy between my marathon and my main statistical method (multiple regression ) for my doc research !
Study Mode Trail Mix : Since almonds helped my bod during my 26.2-mi. course and my mind through my dissertation process , they were the main feature of this snack combo for the crunch + the Pumpkin Spice flavor along with the pumpkin cookies & candy , as well as more chocolate to cover these Brookside blueberries that also benefit the memory !
Speaking of my race, although I haven’t run as many long distances in awhile, I’ve fit in mini drills to keep my energy levels high while I’ve been drained from my dissertation , a.k.a., my doc docs …
During my dedicated eating time (yes , I must make a meal break away from my computer, according to my Bestie Evie ‘s birthday advice ), I actually HIIT before I sit!
While I wait for my chow to cook ~ simmering in the crock pot, boiling on the stove, or nooking in the oven/microwave/toaster ~ I do the following quick set(s), to induce more calorie-burning even after I’m done exercising:
Standing ♥Cardio♥
Floor/Mat/Carpet Core
More ♥Cardio♥
Dance ’til your ♥heart’s ♪content♫ ~ or your grub is ready
Stretch
Relieve those muscles after sitting at the computer desk and before sitting down to eat
Happy Early Halloween, All †Saints’ Day y el Día de los Muertos! ✌

Cassey Ho knows how to make fast fab abs, but this Dispo must melt the flab!
Even though I’ve scored a strong core, how can I show it off when the muscles may lay beneath fat layers?
As I’ve done many techniques to tone up my tummy and slim those obliques, I’ve added this newest DVD to my mix:
I swear: I have more than enough exercise moves from Blogilates to last me all year ~ I must make the time to do them!
This packaged deal promotes 3 10-min. routines:
Total core
Lower back
Obliques
This *oGorgeous* face is *POPpin’ * over the place
(: POP Pilates for miles & smiles 🙂

☼Sun☼ Up, Guns Up!
No, I’m NOT talking about arming ourselves with ammo ~ despite the recent open carry law in my state (that caused controversy and healthy debate among my ☼summer☼ speech students)
I don’t shoot at moving targets ~ simply for sport !
but I do mean business when it comes to our arms !
Since we’re baring more skin in the ☼summer ☼ heat, we want to be eye candy , am I right?
Here are some moves to take your company to a gun show!
Arm Yourself in the Gun Show Scene with this Routine
[with bodyweight ~ shoot for 10 per set]
Standard Pushups {wide grip for shoulders}
Diamond Pushups {narrow grip for triceps}
[with weight resistance ~ 2-3×10-12 heavy or 2-3×15-60 light]
Chest Flies {to firm up our pectorals to reduce unsightly armpit fat} ~ holding weights directly in front of your chest, push outward to your sides
Shoulder Raises ~ holding weights at each shoulder, raise directly above your head
Bicep Curls ~ holding weights at 45* facing you, curl toward you; I recommend variations from in front of you to your sides to create a “W”
Tricep Press ~ holding weights at your side with arm hinged, press behind you
Bonus Baby Back
Renegade Row ~ from plank with weight in one hand, bring up to chest level
Lateral Pulldown ~ while seated at the bench, bring arms up to hanging bar with arms facing forward, pull down to chest level
Even when you’re not in beast mode , or getting ready for a major event or a special somebody
Happy Independence Day to the Great U*S of *A!!!

With many of my special loved ones being moms or mommies-to-be , they’re not just “eating for 2” (or more) ~ they’re also exercising for multiples as well!
Take care of your baby bump by working out with your bundle of joy(s) while s/he’s/they’re in the womb!
Here are ways to stay in shape while * you’re expecting and after ** you give birth!
I didn’t need much muscle to handle my *USAF* wife bestie’s baby (whose birthday is the day before the *4th of July*), but at least my arm muscles were toned right down to the bone ! #DISPObustAFlow
***DISCLAIMER: Please consult with your physician prior to starting an exercise program***
Here are some sessions that I selected specifically for *pregnant women and **newborn mothers!
