Synergy Stew

November 21, 2012 | fitness, Giveaway, running, tips

 

Have you ever made soup before, but were missing that one ingredient that just makes it amazing? Unfortunately, it can throw things off balance and your soup won’t taste right. Just like soup, our lives and health rely on a certain, individual to each person, formula to help you reach your optimum health and fitness levels. This can also be called your “synergy stew”.

So, I would love for YOU to think about your life, and think about how great you feel when everything is clicking with your fitness and health routines, you feel strong and confident and at your best. What “ingredients” make up this “stew” for you personally? It’s a great exercise to help you see if you are currently needing to tweak and re-prioritize some things in your life that may help you to become a better YOU!

For example, here is my synergy stew:

Getting 8 hours of sleep a night

running 3-4 times a week

lifting 3-4 times a week

cross train 1-2 times a week

stretching as much as possible

eating a healthy diet

cutting back on sugar and processed foods

drinking Fitmixer aminos and protein shakes.

When I am doing all of these things, I feel strong and at my best. But when even one of these things is missing, things start to get out of whack and can easily snowball downhill!

Head over to Fitmixer and tell them what is in your synergy stew and you can WIN two pounds of a Fitmixer product! (also don’t forget to tell them that I sent you!)

*BOGO sale! Check out the Fitmixer Facebook page (http://facebook.com/fitmixer) and “like” the page to unlock a code to get a FREE bottle of fruit punch amino® with any purchase (does not include blender bottles). Ends November 30.

      Hi! It’s just the new mobile theme. I am trying to fix the font. If you click on full site at the bottom it should go back to normal, but I am trying to fix it! 😉

    I do not know whether it’s just me or if everybody else encountering problems with
    your blog. It looks like some of the text within your posts are running off the screen. Can someone else please provide feedback and let me know if this is happening to them too?
    This might be a issue with my internet browser because
    I’ve had this happen before. Kudos
