hi all! 
Hope you’re having a great weekend!
I’ve been having an AMAZING time here at
the Fitness & Health Bloggers Conference!
#proof #fitfluential #livewellnow
If you missed my first 2 days;
check them out!
FHBC Recap Day 1
FHBC Recap Day 2
So for day 3
we started out with a Kinesis circuit workout
And I totally was repping my BN SHAPE TANK!
We did a few different exercises on these awesome
free motion type machines!
My girl Carissa rockin’ the squats!
(fact: one of the bloggers snapped a pic of me right before I almost fell over)
#notashamed
You can do SO many different movements on this!
I did a plank with a knee drive…talk about a workout with added resistance!
#legit
As if the morning couldn’t get any better…
IT DID!
Are you surprised?
We headed to breakfast thanks to Choose Cherries!
We had cherry smoothies,
an OATMEAL bar all set up with dried cherries,
& a yogurt parfait bowl with frozen cherries!
I also had one of my POWER EGG BOWLS
*recently I’ve added back in some grains into my diet;
and the only reason I cut them out for a while
was the fact that I looked like a whale at the end of the day;
NOT because of the CARB content!
- I love my some carbs
but, from being bloated; so I tried it out to see if that would help!
It did, but I’ve deiced to add some back in every now & then to test it out!
PS I think I spy a BARRE at breakfast!
Then we headed to some great presentations!
One of which, talked about the importance of carbs in ones diet
because we use up our Glycogen stores while we work out,
so we need to replenish them!
It was a great topic & I may do a whole post on it
because it was CRAZY the info that we found out!
really makes us think!
He did a whole demo on how when you run,
your glycogen stores are used up
& how it is important to replenish!
Now, he talks about the ELITE athletes that he studies,
which made it SO interesting because it goes into how
lower intensity cardio is a better alternative for burning fat
since when you’re high intensity, you are using a lot of glycogen (carbs)
& not as much fat.
It was a very detailed study that I will have to get the link
to because I’d love to share since I’m not the expert!
Lunch today was amazing,
greek salad with carrot & jicama salad & roasted beets!
Then lunch round two because we had an amazing cooking demo
& got to taste the most amazing chicken dish!
Headed to some more presentations &
then to ZUMBA with the FITFLUENTIAL CREW!
*thanks to happy mother runner for the pic of us bustin’ a move!
Afterwards, we REFULED with an amazing meal of
grilled chicken, black rice, olive spread, & curried roasted cauliflower!
& also some CHOCOLATE MILK!
(Thanks to REFUEL with chocolate milk!)
Whew! What a day!!
but don’t think I forgot about
JUNE POWERMEAL A DAY CHALLENGE
it is “MEAL FOR TWO”
any of the POWERMEAL recipes can be doubled for you & a friend!
Or maybe you can split a Coconut Flour Chocolate POWERCAKE
for you & someone special!
So show me your Meal For Two POWERMEALS!
& also check out the POWERFUSION giveaway if you haven’t entered yet!
What is your favorite meal for two!?

the conference looks amazing and im really hoping i can attend next year!!
This looks like such an incredible experience! Thanks for sharing such a thorough recap with us
It looks like you’re all having such an amazing time. I wish there were events/conferences like this in Australia. I guess health and fitness blogging isn’t as popular yet, like it is in the US.
I’d love to hear more about that lecture! I’m such a nerd, I love reading studies about glycogen. Let us know how you do with grains now and then.
Got to get moving – coming back later to read more! Thx for sharing!
What a wonderful conference!!!!!!
It sounds like you got some amazing info out of the conference! Can’t wait to hear more
I’m such a science geek, that stuff interests me to no end. What a fun conference! It sounds like such a blast!
We’re glad you got the chance to try Kinesis and hope you get the chance to try it out again soon!
