What Did We Learn This Month? @WomensHealthMag with Jessica Alba on the Cover!

 

 

What Did We Learn This Month?
 Women’s Health: March 2013

Women’s Health Cover Star for March 2013:

Jessica Alba graces the cover and talks about her new book in the March issue. Yes—Jessica is now an author! The insanely beautiful actress has written her first book, The Honest Life: Living Naturally and True to You filled with her advice on beauty, fashion, food and living the “natural life.”

Jessica is big on being kind to the environment. Her business, The Honest Company, sells eco-friendly home items and she is big on organic beauty products.

Here is a photo of the lovely Jessica and some of her favorite beauty/make-up tips.




So what else is in the March issue of Women’s Health?

“Women’s Health Fitness Awards”
Women’s Health salutes the best in fitness & health with shout-outs to must-have home gear, the top “hot spots” around the country and the latest and greatest workout gear on the market.

 

 

“15-Minute Workout” 
If your back could use some extra attention—try these moves from trainer Mark Merchant, co-founder of As One studio in New York City.

“Fire Up Fat Burning”
I love these workout pages! Frank Salzone, group fitness instructor for Equinox in New York, shows how you can maximize your workouts and rev your metabolism into high gear. (Plan on using some of these in my boot camp class soon…)

 

“Eat This, Cure That”
All-natural remedies to help all kids of annoying ailments from insomnia to heartburn.

 

 

And now the rest of the best of this issue of Women’s Health:
•   “Balancing Act” Women's Health beauty editors talk about PH balance and skin type to show how it can affect your appearance.
•    "The Secret to Staying Motivated" The five “instant rewards” of exercise to keep up the desire to workout when the benefits seem so far away.
•    "Should You Play Doctor?” A look at “at-home medical tests” and when you should (or shouldn’t) rely on them.
•    "Lighten Up!" How stress can affect your efforts to lose weight and get fit.  Don’t stress yourself out people—give yourself a break once in a while!

 

Overall Grade:
A-! Loved the workouts and the motivational pages in this issue.

What Do We Learn This Month in Oxygen?

“Girls on Fire”
One of the things I love about this magazine is the women they feature and by that I mean healthy women with real muscles! How refreshing is that, people? On the cover of the March issue we get four “fit cover models” who offer their advice on everything from self-confidence to tips for busting a fitness rut.

Here are the four models and their favorite time to get a good sweat going:

•    Midori Rutledge: Morning “It sets me up for the rest of the day.”
•    Rachel Davis: “I prefer afternoons but because of work, I’m limited to late evening workouts.”
•    Angelike Psoinos Norrie: “Anytime I can fit it in, but when I lift in the afternoons, it makes my mornings super-charged with perfect meal planning and I have tons of energy the rest of the day.’
•    Heather Robertson: Early afternoon—“I’m not a morning person. I like to have breakfast, a cup of coffee and go through my e-mails. Then I am good to go.”




“Zap Fat Even Faster”
I really liked this article which describes how to burn calories more efficiently by making simple tweaks to your cardio (running, cycling and skipping rope.)

 

 

“Fix Your Tummy Troubles”
According to sports nutritionist and author Nancy Clark, R.D. close to 50% of athletes will experience some kind of stomach issue including bloating, heartburn and cramps. And women have ten times the GI issues that men do (wow!). Here we get advice on how to work with your belly issues (should you have any.)

 

 

"Build Your Best Body: Month Three”
Looking for some ideas on how to mix dumbbell work with cardio? Try this section with some pretty awesome exercises that you will do in intervals to get some serious muscle going.

 

 

"The Party is Over—Now What?”
My personal hero Tosca Reno talks about how she struggled with “what do I do now?” when her bikini competition (which she won folks!) was over. We have all been there. You aim for something, have a date in mind and then the event just comes and goes. Whether you won or lost—there is still that nagging feeling—what next?

I am a big Tosca fan. Can we get her a book signing in New York, please?

"Release Stress!”
Got some tension in your jaw? Is your neck mothering you? How about your feet? Do they feel okay? Well if your body is showing signs of stress—this page will help you.

 
 And now the rest of this issue of Oxygen:
•    “Freeze Your Cravings” How good does mocha banana ice cream sound? Here we get a recipe for this yummy confection. 
•    "Time Your Meals, Get Results!” Meal plans for every workout scenario from early morning to you night owl gym rats.
•    "Amplify Your Arms" Alicia Harris leads us through a super-tough workout for the “tricky triceps.”
•    "Simple Sexy Workout” Oxygen’s fitness editor Rachel Crocker created this "killer circuit” based on simple old-school leg exercises that will get your lower body in top shape.

 
Overall Grade:
A- Welcome to the Brooklyn Fit Chick monthly review group Oxygen! Now keep up the good work!

Brooklyn Fit Chick Vlog Episode 23

 

The Latest Brooklyn Fit Chick Vlog Episode 23: Featuring Answers to “Random Questions” from a Fit Cheerleader,

Plus My EatSmart Precision GetFit Digital Scale Giveaway!!  

 

 

Hey there! Hi there! Ho there!

 

How is everybody today? I am having a cuckoo nuts week this week so I apologize in advance if I do not Blog as often as I normally do but I will get in as much as I can. First off today I want to say “hey” to my fellow blogger Janice of Fitness Cheerleader.com. She gave me a little shout out on her Blog and asked me to answer a few questions for her. Here is her link: http://fitnesscheerleader.com/about/an-award-from-wisdom-courage-power/.

I decided that today I would answer all of her questions via My Vlog and then get into this week’s giveaway---an EatSmart Precision GetFit Digital Scale!!! This is a $54.95 value and a super-nifty item so pay attention on how you can win one.

Now on to the latest Vlog and the details of the giveaway!

The 11 Random Questions from Janice of FitnessCheerleader.com (@Fitcheerldr) That I Answer in the Video Below:

1. What was the first sport that you played?
2. What’s your favourite song to workout to? (Janice is Canadian so they spell “favorite” that way.)
3. Are you a cardio or a weight junkie?
4. What is one thing that you would like to do better?
5. What is the one thing that you do really well?
6. Are you a back, side or front sleeper?
7. Do you workout in the morning? night? or other?
8. What do you do when you aren’t working out or blogging?
9. Who is your celebrity crush?  ie: Who would you like to workout with?
10. How many burpees can you do in a row? (Yes – you have to do as many as you can and report back to me).
11. Can you touch your toes?

 

 

 

Got that? Now here is some more information about this week’s giveaway:

EatSmart Precision GetFit Digital Scale 

The EatSmart Precision GetFit is not your ordinary bathroom scale as it can quickly and easily measure weight, body fat, body water, body muscle and bone mass using our new ITO BIA technology. This scale is perfect for individuals who are serious about taking control of their health.

BIA (Bio-Electrical Impedance Analysis) technology allows you to easily calculate your body fitness by imputing information of gender, height, age, activity level and your weight. In bare feet, this technology sends a low-level electrical signal though your body fat and then measures the resistance the signal encounters. This signal is perfectly safe and will not be felt.

The Precision GetFit Scale stores up to 8 different users' personal profiles and will be able to recognize these users as soon as they step onto the scale. This auto recognition software makes it simple to operate, since all you have to do is stand on the platform barefoot and it identifies who you are based on past weight. Not having to select a user gives it the same functionality as a basic bathroom scale with added benefit of % body fat, % body muscle, % body water and bone mass.
