Fit Chat with Ronnie Carter: "I Make Fitness a Priority"

Some of you know that I appreciate people who work hard at the gym. Mostly because I know it is not easy, but also because it requires a sense of dedication and commitment that not everyone has.  And who doesn’t like the view that comes from all that hard work, huh? So when I find someone with a *ahem* beautiful view that you obviously know required a whole lot of dedication, I love to chat with them and get their perspective.

Today, I’m chatting with a well-cut gentleman from Germany – Ronald Carter (a.k.a. Ronnie) – whom I met on Instagram, about his fitness regimen and how he stays focused. Ladies, stop drooling…

E&W Recipe: Quinoa with Chicken Sausage and Tofu Stir-fry

Okay, so I promised you a recipe this week, and here it is. I have been raving about cooking with quinoa for the past few weeks, but I hadn't found time to go to the store to get some. They only usually sell them in health food stores (Grocery stores, please get on this).

Day 9 of the March Booty Challenge!

British Military Fitness Green Workout

Fruit Juice vs. Juice from Concentrate?

Am I the only one who feels like all the juices in stores are advertised as "No Added Sugar" or "Contains 100% daily Vitamin C requirements"? And then when you look at the ingredients, there are actually like a million items, or it says something like "Orange Juice from concentrate"? If it truly is made from 100% fruit, then what does the 'from concentrate' mean? Find out below.

Day 5 of the March Booty Challenge!

Today is March 5th, which means it is day 5 of the March Booty Challenge. I'm pretty excited with how many people are doing this on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. If you haven't joined the challenge, it is not too late. If you have been doing it every day so far, I hope you're enjoying working towards that booty :)

During the first few days of the challenge, you should be able to do this with weights. As the reps become more and more, it will be very difficult to maintain the weight you were previously using, and so I know your weights will go down and slowly become nonexistent. And that is okay.

Every person is different, and so I want to make sure you are pushing yourself as far as You can go, even if that means using no weights at all. You'd still be working your bum as long as you squeeze in the movement, and you go down as low as you can sitting way back into your bum without pushing your knees forward.

Cheers Eights & Weights!
