How To Teach Your Children To Love Swimming

Posted by on Mar 31, 2014 in Fitness, Toddler/Child | 2 comments

You have kids, you have a family swimming pool, and you want to combine the two. As a parent, you’d like to show your children how much fun the pool can be, but you’re aware that not all kids respond the same way when they are first around the water. So how can a parent teach their children to enjoy swimming, and have them consider it a positive experience? Recognize their individuality. Some kids will be naturals in the water, and take to it from the very first. Encourage that child and just let their fun continue. Another child might be hesitant around the water. Be on the lookout for signs of that reticence, and address it. The old “throw them in the deep end” concept could really be scarring for a child who already is ambivalent about the...

Quick Workout

Posted by on Mar 25, 2014 in Fitness, Skinny Tips & Quotes | Comments Off on Quick Workout

Short on time? I think we can all relate…but just remember this: A quick workout is better than NO workout. There have been crazy-busy days where I just don’t have a half-hour or an hour to go to the gym to do a warm up, stretch, workout, cool down, and then stretch again. On days like that, I focus on just getting a quick workout in. You may think that it’s worthless, but it’s really not. Research shows you can achieve more progress in a mere 15 minutes of interval training (done three times a week) than the girl jogging on the treadmill for an hour. High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT or just Interval Training) is a GREAT way to get or stay in shape for those who have limited amount of time to dedicate to working out. Feel...

{Paleo & Vegan} Shamrock Shake Recipe

Posted by on Mar 14, 2014 in Beverages, Holiday, Recipes | Comments Off on {Paleo & Vegan} Shamrock Shake Recipe

Every St. Patrick’s Day, I see advertising for McDonald’s Shamrock Shake. Yes, it’s green…but it’s green from food dye rather than healthy green fruit or vegetables. It’s full of processed sugars, artificial flavorings and milk sourced from who knows where. The good news? There’s a much healthier – even Paleo & Vegan! – version of McDonald’s Shamrock Shake. Delicious doesn’t have to be guilty. Healthy Shamrock Shake Recipe Ingredients:  1 can coconut milk (you can also sub 1 ¾ cups of any other type of milk) 1 avocado, peeled and seed removed 2 1/2 – 3 tablespoons pure raw honey, (or other sweetener of choice) 1 cup of ice 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract 1 teaspoon pure peppermint extract For full recipe instructions, please visit: primallyinspired.com Feel free to follow us, however you...
