Best Workout & Fitness Plan For Your Summer Body in COVID (As Seen on Fox Chicago)

As a weight loss coach for women in Chicago and everywhere, I create weight loss programs for women that are realistic and sustainable.

That’s why I joined Fox Chicago as a TV health journalist to give my top tips on how to scale back your summer body goals this year due to COVID. Watch the full segment here.

Aim Low and High Five
– Set your goals as “mini” goals. With so much change going on in the world, aim low so that you
can feel accomplished.
– Then, CELEBRATE your mini goals! Research shows that when you feel good about
accomplishing small things, that’ll motivate you to keep going.
– Example: Workouts

Be Enthusiastic About Little Wins
– It is NOT business as usual this summer. With fear and instability around us, we need to find
things to be grateful for.
– Get excited when you make a healthy choice, and then move on!
– Example: Healthy Food & Drink

Train Your Brain
– What can you do to get in a positive mindset?
– Gratitude journal at night; daily meditation; listen to inspirational podcasts in the background
while you’re washing dishes

Easy Ways To Improve Your Balance (As Seen In Natural Awakenings)

Having great balance is often taken for granted until it’s too late. You may have suffered from an unexpected fall, which led to broken bones – among other serious injuries.

The great thing is that there are simple exercises that can not only improve balance but also reduce the risk of severe injury. One of the easiest ways I’ve helped my private weight loss clients to prevent serious injuries and improve their balance is to take a walk after dinner. Plus, some fresh air is always great for the body.

Another way to help improve your balance is to have a steady diet of foods that are rich in Vitamins D and B12. These vitamins can help improve coordination and motor function.

The Best BBQ & Cookout Health Hacks (As Seen On ABC 7 Chicago)

The Fourth of July is a time of celebration. It’s also typically seen as the kickoff date for summer parties like BBQs and cookouts.

These summer celebrations are typically filled with plenty of food and drinks! Just because you’re with your friends and family (or however you’re celebrating social distancing style) doesn’t mean you have to abandon your health and wellness journey.

Some of the easiest BBQ and cookout tricks my private weight loss clients have used to stay healthy while enjoying social gatherings are to incorporate exercises into the event. These can be great ways to have some friendly competition between friends and family!

I shared some fun BBQ and cookout exercises with ABC 7 Chicago. For the full segment, click here.

The Best Ways To Transition Back Into The Gym (As Seen On The Vitamin Shoppe)

As the restrictions from the pandemic are reduced, you may find yourself wondering how to even begin to return to a normal routine. Whether you have been doing at home workouts or skipped workouts all together while staying home – jumping back into a fitness routine will not be as hard as it seems.

One thing I tell my private weight loss clients is to sit down and make a reasonable and realistic plan. I have them grab a notebook or notepad and physically write this plan out. I also advise them to set goals that are attainable and to take it easy on themselves. Getting back to their pre-pandemic fitness level may take a little bit of work and won’t be able to be done overnight. Once you get back into a routine, you will become more comfortable with yourself as you settle into a routine. It’s also important to remember to celebrate the goals you achieve along the way!

A 5-Minute Yoga Routine To Boost Your Energy (As Seen On CNN)

In a world of chaos and confusion, one thing that is certain is that routines have changed in the last few months. Working in an office allows you to have social interactions as well as making sure our bodies get up and move. Working from home, on the other hand, doesn’t give you quite as many opportunities.

Working from home may leave you waking up feeling drained and overwhelmed. I always tell my private weight loss clients to remember to practice self-care alongside taking care of their physical bodies. Many women forget that this is important too!

One great way to do this is to develop daily routines to help keep your brain active and your body feeling refreshed. Practicing yoga can help you learn breathing techniques that will help you remain calm in uncertain times as well as helping you stay focused. This is a fantastic way to stay energized about exercise as well as excelling when it comes to your job.

The Best Tricks To Get Fit At Home (As Seen On Natural Awakenings)

Gyms being closed doesn’t mean you can’t maintain a regular fitness schedule! There are so many fun and exciting ways to workout at home to help you relieve stress and feel better staying healthy during these times of social distancing.

One thing I stress to my private weight loss clients is that it is essential to maintain your exercise routine – even if you do it from home. A fun way to make sure you stick with your healthy lifestyle is to have family members join you! This simple trick can help you meet your fitness goals and stay accountable for your workouts. I love this trick because it also helps you to make memories to last a lifetime. Try using free online fitness classes as well as developing your own unique “out of the box routines.”

10 Minute Leg and Balance Workout (As Seen On IGTV)

Improving the strength of your lower body is one of the best things you can do for yourself while you’re social distancing. When you work to strengthen your lower body strength, you’re improving your posture!

I highly recommend my private weight loss clients to do leg and balance workouts because it can help improve their quality of life. When you have better posture, you are causing less tension in the body and may even feel yourself doing day to day actives much more quickly.

This workout was brought to you by Boiron’s Arnicare. I have used Arnicare Gel for over twenty years and love the way it helps to reduce inflammation for injuries. Being someone who grew up playing sports all the time, there was rarely a day where I didn’t apply Arnicare Gel!

One of the best parts about Arnicare Gel is that it is clear and leaves no smell. It doesn’t stain your clothes, making it essential for anyone who has an active lifestyle! You can even use code “StepItUp” for 20% off of your purchase.

Bubbles and Biceps – My Motivational Series On Instagram Live (As Seen On IGTV)

Social distancing and the way it completely changed my daily routine motivated me to launch a new Instagram Live and IGTV series – Bubbles and Biceps!

Bubbles and Biceps started as Fizz and Motivation, which was a way for me to help reach women and show them that mental health isn’t optional. I started this series on Instagram live and have added four episodes to it!

The first episode was about improving your mood and motivation. I shared my favorite tips and tricks to help lift your spirits during the quarantine.

The second episode was about reaching your fitness goals during a time of not being able to go to the gym. Changing your mindset changes the way you work out while at home.

The third episode was my personal favorite because my sister, Jennifer, joined me. She joined me to share how she managed to lose eight pounds in four weeks while social distancing and working out at home!

The fourth episode was also about motivating yourself to work out during quarantine. One of the biggest things I realized was that working out during quarantine made it me less likely to workout! Once I cut out ordering takeout, I was so much more motivated to make the most of my time in quarantine.

The Best At-Home Indoor Cardio Workouts (As Seen In Successible Life)

With social distancing and quarantining still in full effect in most areas, many women have been struggling to find workouts that can keep their heart rates up. With a little creativity and imagination, however, you can make almost any space the perfect place for a cardio workout!

If you’re an athlete, you understand how essential cardio workouts are for your health and wellness – especially if you have plans to resume your sport after quarantine is over. Cardio workouts are also extremely important if you are exercising to lose weight, while also being great for your heart. One of the best benefits of cardio workouts are the fact that they help to produce more energy!

As a private weight loss coach, I create customized workout plans for my clients. Ever since quarantine started it’s been challenging to find workouts that are intensive enough to get (and keep!) their heart rates up while indoors. That’s why I decided to share what’s worked for them with Successible Life so that everyone could get a great cardio workout while at-home. For the full article with the four cardio workouts I created, click here.
