Summer Fitness Foods and Making Assisted Strides
VIPeteHappy Friday and pre-4th of July weekend (let's make this a two week holiday!). I wanted to share this link to a great summer nutrition snapshot from our friends at Active.com.
I find articles like this to be very inspirational because it reminds you that "eating healthy" doesn't have to mean "eating HELLthy". It's a quick read with great detail and takeaways, and I guarantee that you'll notice a few of your favorite foods on there. For the rest of the summer, let's try to commit to replacing unhealthy processed snacks with some of these nutritious fruits and vegetables. None of these foods are short on taste, and ALL of them have important health benefits. Get creative and mix a few of these summer fruits and vegetables together to concoct a new "summer salad." The neighbors will love your creativity, and you're sure to impress the rest of the party when you confidently explain that you casually threw in porcini mushrooms to make sure everyone at the party got enough ergosterol(precursor to vitamin D). They'll like the taste, and love you for caring about them!
As an update regarding the Woodstick Classic Alumni Achilles Rupture... I've been progressing well through my first few weeks at physical therapy. Ed Farrell and the amazing staff at Physical Solutions are the best in the business of helping people get their mobility, and their lives back . I'm also back at the gym now so I can do cardio on the arm bike/UBE(upper body exerciser). Even though I had been working out on my couch and in the den, it's been a really great feeling to go to the gym and to get back into a routine. If you've had anything derail your workouts or gym attendance lately... make a decision to get back. Once you get back into a routine you'll be reinvigorated and working out will be a summer breeze. By the way... if you see someone on one crutch, or a tripod stool feeding lacrosse balls to future all-americans... it's likely me. Enjoy the updated pictures below, and the video of my first post-surgery personal training client. My 2 year old niece Tess has been visiting me almost every day, and she has learned to love crunches!
