When I want inspiration for flavorful, yet simple dinner ideas…I look to the world. Many ethnic dishes combine basic ingredients in ways that are new & interesting to me, are simple to prepare & absolutely hands-down tasty. And, as long as you have a good spice cabinet, you can easily cook around the globe! Ethiopian
Teaching technique for all 4 strokes (Butterfly, Backstroke, Breaststroke & Freestyle) is one of my favorite things to do. Not only do I have to work hard to figure out the best ways to break down complex skill sets, but I also need to figure out 100 different ways to explain a single concept. That
It’s no secret that many endurance athletes identify with Type A, perfectionist-oriented personality traits. Heck…I’m definitely one of them (as evidenced by how many times I rewrote that 1st sentence…at least 6 times!) We’re the folks who set high, often unattainable goals, we expect to get it “right” (the first time) & we’re highly critical
Over the years I’ve drastically cut back on my sugar consumption. I used to make regular desserts…but now it’s an every-so-often thing. And when I do decide to have a treat, I want it to be quick to make & small in portion size. Enter Lemon Possets with Berries! The original 15th century posset was
Last week I did a recap of my Top 3 favorite strength exercises (click here to read it) for time-crunched athletes. Done together they efficiently & quite effectively work your whole body – top to bottom, front to back. So, you think you don’t have enough time to lift…think again! With these 3 exercises you
As a coach I am blessed to wear many hats. The Friend hat. The Counselor hat. The Life Coach hat. The Relationship Coach hat. The Let’s-Be-Realistic hat. The We-Need-To-Cut-Back hat. The last 2 are the hardest. Because, let’s face it, we ALL believe we can do EVERYTHING. The easy part is to add. The harder
When looking for dinner ideas, Mexican-inspired options always move to the front of the line. Often, these recipes are fairly straight-forward, I tend to have most of the ingredients on-hand & they are ALWAYS tasty! Check all 3 of those boxes for this fabulous recipe – Enchiladas Suizas (Swiss Enchiladas)! I can hear you saying…Swiss
In Feb’s “Hour of Power”, I chatted with Dr. Corey DuPont, PT, DPT about pain, rehab, decreasing injury risk & improving athletic performance. It was a fun & informative chat which you can listen to here. Several attendees asked Dr. Corey what his top do-not-miss, must-do strength & mobility exercises are for time-crunched athletes. Great
Cornbread. It can be downright delicious. But unfortunately, many recipes add so much sugar that the taste is more like cake than cornbread. I’ve tried just decreasing the sugar amount…but that really doesn’t work because sugar binds with water…and that helps keep your baked goods from drying out. In order to have soft, moist, yet
OK, endurance athletes. Remember the 80/20 Rule? I know I sure do because it’s been around FOR-EVER. The 80/20 Rule suggests that endurance athletes spend 80% of their time training at low intensity & 20% of their time training at moderate to high intensity. Pretty basic! And as a general prescription for training…it’s actually quite
