My New Mizuno Running Shoes: Out with the old, in with the new

June 25, 2015 by

How to Choose New Running Shoes #WaveEnigma5 — My New Shoes – Mizuno Wave Enigma #WaveEnigma5

I often have challengers ask me what type of athletic shoes to buy. I haven’t have had this problem when I wanted to put forth my choice ofsliders for men or women. I like my Nike Free shoes for home workouts, but I need something that provides more cushion and stability for running. Several years ago my brother suggested the Mizuno brand as a good running shoe. He’s a two-time Ironman finisher and personal trainer, so who am I to argue? Plus, he wears them himself. While I like this brand, it may not be right for you. It’s important to know what to look for when in a shoe as well as when to replace them, and that’s when sites like shoeadviser.com can really help people find the right shoes for them.

When to Replace Running Shoes

For me, it’s hard to know when to replace my shoes. I take pretty good care of them, run inside on the treadmill most of the time, so they don’t show signs of wear that most outdoor trail runners see. However, I know I should still be replacing them after logging lots of miles. After extended use, running shoes will wear out and fail to provide you with the shock absorption and stability you need to protect your legs, knees and joints. The general guideline is every 400-500 miles. I figure I average about 10-15 miles a week, so I should be replacing them a lot more often than I do.

How to Choose New Running Shoes — My “Old” Shoes – Mizuno Wave Riders

How to Select Running Shoes

Most specialty sporting goods stores will have salespeople trained to help you out with this if you don’t know what type of foot you have. Looking at your current shoes and where they are showing signs of wear is another indicator.

Wear on the Inside Edge (Overpronation) – Look for a shoe that provides additional stability
Wear on the Outside Edge (Supination) – Look for a shoe that provides additional cushioning

“Looking at a runner’s foot leads us to what type of shoe they should be in. The three main foot types are flat, neutral and high arches. Flat feet tend to have fallen arches, making them flexible and prone to overpronation, an inward rolling motion. Neutral feet are the most biomechanically sound variety, putting them somewhere in the middle. High-arched feet are essentially the polar opposite of flat feet. When the arches are particularly defined, the feet end up being rigid, leading to supination, or landing on the outside edges of the feet.

I have neutral feet, so I have more options that most. I have also been told to go up a half size when buying running shoes. This really depends on the brand and how they fit, but make sure there is plenty of room in the toe box when you try them on. With my Mizuno shoes, I did go up a half size and recommend you do that too with this brand. Also in case you shop Aldo mens shoes in Singapore. It tends to run a little bit small.

Break Them In

Please, PLEASE break in your shoes before doing an extended run (you will thank me for this one). I wear mine to walk in at first, then progress on to shorter runs. I won’t do a long run in new shoes until they’re totally broken in. Blisters will slow down your training process! After running, you can relax and rejuvenate yourself on sites like 안전놀이터.

Fun Workout Tanks: Mischief Managed

June 25, 2015 by

Jane.com often has cute workout clothes that go straight from the gym to the street. I recently got the “Perfectly Imperfect” tank shown above for just $11.99. Not only is it cute, the cotton is super-soft!

Today, I found this “Mischief Managed” tank and knew I had to have that one too. It fits my personality!! I’ll take a pic when I get it to share with all of you. When you shop Jane.com you have to act quickly, because their cute items sell out quickly.

Family Fitness Tip Jar

June 23, 2015 by

Getting your family on board with fitness and clean eating isn’t always easy, and often they need a little outside motivation to get moving in the right direction. We are now trying the family tip jar as a way to get everyone on the right track.

As a family, decide on what your goal will be. Make it something that gets the least motivated members of the family excited. In the beginning, don’t make the goal so big or crazy that it will take a long time to accomplish. Have it easy to get done in 2-3 weeks. Don’t make the goal something that negates your hard work. Family Pizza Night may be fun, but it sends the wrong message. I love the idea of something that corresponds with your fitness goals and something you can do together, like buying a badminton set for the back yard or a day at a waterpark.

You can create your own set of tips and corresponding dollar amounts, but if you’d like to print the one I used just click on the graphic (I printed mine at 50% to fit on a Mason Jar). I just slipped the piece of paper inside the jar.

Twenty-One Tips for the 21 Day Fix

June 19, 2015 by

Attention 21 Day Fixers! I’ll be adding a simple tip here each day for 21 Days. I will also be posting them on my social channels: My Instagram account, my 21 Day Fix Pinterest Board and my Clean Eating Fix Group on Facebook. Please comment with your own 21 Day Fix tips below!

Join my next 21 Day Fix CHALLENGE GROUP for even more tips!

21 Day Fix Tip #1: Some bags of Shakeology come with a scoop with a fill line (my vanilla does, my chocolate does not – not sure about other flavors). Make sure you are using it! This will help you ensure that your bag lasts the full 30 days. Read the instructions on the back of your bag to see how many grams one serving is if you’re confused. View other ways to save money on Shakeology.

21 Day Fix Tip #2: To make the color/container system even easier for you, pre-portion your snacks ahead of time using colored baggies. That way, you can simply grab a snack that corresponds to the serving type/color you need. Use your 21 Day Fix containers to measure them out, then transfer to plastic bags. I got mine at Target last year, but when I checked back to get more a month ago they didn’t have them. Walmart also has had them in the past. If you still can’t fine them, here is a link to purchase them on Amazon: colored baggies

21 Day Fix Tip #3: I love the idea of a fitness notebook to not only track before/after measurements, but to store printables like menu plans, tally sheets, and so on. Check out our 21 Day Fix Printables.

21 Day Fix Tip #4: Prepping meals ahead of time takes the guesswork out of eating and helps remove temptation. View our post on Ideas to Prep 21 Day Fix Foods Ahead of Time.

21 Day Fix Tip #5: Use an HDMI cable to connect your laptop to your TV to stream BOD (Beachbody on Demand).

21 Day Fix Tip #6: Got picky kids? Print out a 21 Day Fix Foods List and have them circle the foods they like.

21 Day Fix Tip #7: Make healthy eating and exercise a family affair! Create a Family Fitness Tips Jar and work towards a common goal.

21 Day Fix Tip #8: Use Plastic Jelly Bracelets to track how many of each container you’ve had. Put them on one wrist in the morning, and after you have a serving of a certain color, move that color bracelet to the other wrist.

21 Day Fix Tip #9: Eat the same foods over and over again. Don’t complicate matters! Make big batches of something to eat multiple times. Shakeology for one meal/snack. Don’t feel like you have to reinvent the wheel.

21 Day Fix Tip #10: Did you know you can select the no music option and listen to these Spotify playlists instead? If you have ‪#‎BOD‬ the link is there.

21 Day Fix Tip #10:

21 Day Fix Tip #11: Travel containers for formula can also be used for Shakeology.

21 Day Fix Tip #12: If you can’t stick to the container system, start slowly. Make it your goal to replace one meal with Shakeology daily and at least one meal veggie-dense such as a salad, grilled veggies, or a vegetarian meal. Opt for lean proteins and try to cut bread and refined flour out of your diet.

21 Day Fix Tip #13: Join a challenge group for added support

21 Day Fix Tip #14: Bored with menu ideas? Join our Clean Eating Fix group for inspiration

21 Day Fix Tip #15:Get your head in the game. You won’t be able to succeed if your mind isn’t in the right place. I suggest my challengers do 10-15 minutes of personal development each day.

21 Day Fix Tip #16: After your first round of the 21 Day Fix, be sure you re-evaluate your weights. Go out and purchase heavier weights if needed. Or, move on to 21 Day Fix Extreme if you’re ready.

21 Day Fix Tip #17: Learn how to figure out container counts for mixed foods. That said, if you want to make this a long-term lifestyle, don’t sweat the small details of container counts. In most cases, close enough is good enough.

21 Day Fix Tip #18: Use the 3-Day Refresh to get over a plateau.

Proscuitto-Wrapped Chicken Saltimbocca

June 18, 2015 by

I consider myself a pretty decent cook, so making healthy meals at home is usually not a struggle for me. However, I tend to cook the same types of foods over and over again. What I loved most about my recent HelloFresh box was that I got to try ingredients and preparation methods that were new to me, and recipes I normally wouldn’t try on my own. I mean, I’ve never wrapped Chicken in Proscuitto with sage leaves. Guess what… It’s delicious! Who knew?!

Proscuitto-Wrapped Chicken Saltimbocca

2 chicken breasts
1 sprig fresh sage
1 lemon
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 oz. prosciutto
1 1/2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 C. grape tomatoes, halved
1 shallot, chopped
1/2 C. chicken stock
8 oz. spinach

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Season both sides of the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Top each chicken breast with two sage leaves and wrap with prosciutto. Spray a baking sheet or pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, until juices run clear.

Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a skillet on medium heat. Saute the shallot and garlic, and remaining sage. Next, add the tomatoes with the juice of the lemon. Heat through, 3-4 minutes. Add 1/2 C. chicken stock. Lastly, toss the spinach in the tomato/shallot mixture until wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with the chicken while hot.
