Saghi: Movie Snacks – Things Done Changed
This past week I’ve been staying on top of my food making sure I have a good balance of protein and veggies. A challenge for me has been snacks throughout the day. Jess has helped me by giving me a list of snacks I could have. The key to a snack is to make sure it includes a protein. For example if I have a fruit, I must pair it with almonds – or if I have a rice cake I spread it with all natural almond butter, or have it with a hard boiled egg. These snacks help prevent me from munching on baked goods or other processed and high in sodium snacks, because they include protein, carbs and fats and keep me satisfied. The other day my fiancĂ© and I were watching...
Read MoreSaghi: Pure + Simple and Feel Good Guru
I wrapped up last week’s diary entry mentioning my transition into using natural beauty products, and the natural facial I was planning to get at Pure + Simple. All I can say about the facial is: Ah-mazing! I chose the super hydrating facial that replenishes and restores the skin’s water content, while unclogging pores.

Cardiovascular combined with strength. So, I’ve provided you with an exercise that will train delts (shoulders), biceps, core, quads and glutes (lower body) – and even recruit the stabilizers in the inner and outer thighs.

So start trying them out, and including them in your circuit training. ...
Read MoreNew VIDEO: TRX Triceps Extension
Toned triceps are attractive on both men and women. Women, we like to make sure we are avoiding that underarm jiggle when we wave, and men like a good carving at the side of the arm! Either way, triceps need to be worked in isolation and kept strong for all of us. So much of what we do in everyday life involves our BICEPS – like carrying groceries, babies, and pulling heavy things along – that we can create an imbalance between the two opposing muscle groups. If you have a TRX, try out this exercise. But not to worry if you don’t – I will soon be posting other exercises for the triceps with the use of dumbbells, and even with only the use of...
