It drives me nuts when companies use the word ENERGY to sell drinks and bars. They come in nice brightly colored packaging of cobalt blue and purple. They have lightening bolts and photos of people sky diving and simulating fast motion and fun, fun, fun.

When the label says “energy” I want you to NOT buy it. If something says “energy drink” or “energy bar” you couldn’t make me ingest it.  It will be loaded with something I don’t want in my body, nor should it be in yours.  That most likely is a LOT of added SUGAR –  or worse, High Fructose Corn Syrup, along with caffiene and more sugar (both disguised with another name to trick you).  Go ahead and google high fructose corn syrup…it’s illegal in any food product in most countries but NOT this country.

I’m keeping this blog post to the point. Do NOT buy anything being marketed with the word “energy” on it.

Have a great day,

Margo

Previously under the category Exercise Equipment titled “Weighted Body Bar” I mention a few exercises using this apparatus.  The less complex a piece of equipment is, the more likely you are to use it. Here are just a few demo shots of body toning exercises you can do with a weighted body bar. As always, for the New Year I’m all for using mostly gravity, you and your body, and a minimal amount of apparatus. That said, if you want to add apparatus, this body bar, along with stability and medicine balls and a Bosu, are plenty to get anyone started and fit.  I’ve mentioned these simple exercise tools previously, and will expand on what to do with them more this month.  Here are a few shots of Weighted Body Bar moves.  As always, I’m here for you via email or phone for details on these exercises.
