Vitamin D, Mango-Passion Smoothie, Chest Press w/ KB


Tip of the Day: Vitamin D

Great tip for the women viewers! Vitamin D is something you want to add to your daily diet. It doesn't only strengthen your bones (great if you're over 50!) but it also helps enhance your fertility (if you're under 50 of course), and will cut your risks for getting breast, and ovarian cancer in half! You can find the vitamin D you need in sunlight, fish, and egg yolks. So, get on that!


Healthy Recipe: Mango-Passion Smoothie

  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced (1 cup)
  • 2/3 cup nonfat vanilla yogurt
  • 1/3-1/2 cup frozen passion fruit juice concentrate
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 ice cubes, crushed
Combine mango, yogurt, 1/3 cup juice concentrate, water and crushed ice in a blender; cover and blend until smooth and frothy. Add more concentrate, if desired. Serve immediately.

Exercise: Chest Press w/ KB

Standing hip-width apart, knees soft, hold the kettle bell from the bell part instead of the handle, up at your chest level. Push up to the ceiling for a chest press, and come back down to starting position. Do this 20 times. Pair with the other kettle bell exercises this week for an intense workout!
