MIRRORLESSMONDAY #PROOF & Benefits of KALE!

Hi all!
Just want to start off by saying HAPPY BIRTHDAY to KELLY OLEXA!
I posted about her yesterday, check it out here!

so today is #MIRRORLESSMONDAY
& I’m proud of my strength that I’ve built to POWER me through my workouts!

Remember, today is about looking in the mirror and being proud of what you see,
not judging every imperfection because there is no "perfect" body but there
can be a "perfectly" healthy body that you see in the reflection!

I wanted to share with you a POWERcircuit workout
& one of my favorite POWERFOODS!

The other day I did this Bicep&Tricep
TABATA interval POWERCIRCUIT!

Warm up:
Hammer Curls – 3 sets of 12 with 20lb dumbbells
Close Grip Tricep bench press – 3 sets of 15 with 45 lb bar

Then I moved into 18 Rounds of these exercises;
20 seconds of work with 10 seconds of REST in between!

9 Rounds:

20 seconds of
Box Jumps
(alternating legs & 2 footed)

then
20 seconds of
Tricep Dips on Box

Second Set of 9 Rounds:

20 seconds of
Burpees into a Tuck Jump
(exploding out of the burpee and bringing knees to chest)

then
20 seconds of
Bicep curl with 45lb bar

I finished with some AB work!

#PROOF #FITFLUENTIAL

I am loving these work outs lately!
I feel like I am getting such a great work out in a short amount of time!

Now onto one of my FAVORITE POWERFOODS!

KALE

Consider eating more KALE!
Along with broccoli, it is one of the nutrition stand-outs among vegetables.
It fights fat through its ability to mingle in a variety of roles --
in side dishes, combined in main dishes, blended in smoothies,
salads, or mixed in POWERCAKES! For a green, kale is unusually high in fiber.

This helps create the bulk you need to fill you up and to keep you full for a good amount of time!
Kale is also an excellent source of nutrients, especially vitamin A and calcium.
With a combination of vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients, kale is a dieter's dream POWERfood!

my #powermeal today post leg workout was kale, onions, & broccoli cooked down then
6 egg whites added with DILL!
(eggs+dill=winning combo!)
then I had my version of a clean "sweet potato pie"
(yam, coconut oil, cinnamon, & some raisins!)

great way to refuel with protein, healthy fats, & complex carbs!

Hope you enjoy your day!
xoxo
