New Services Offered!




I am going to make a serious effort to do more posting..promise.  I know my readers are mainly interested in recipes and workouts but I wanted to give you an update on services offered by yours truly and SBS Nutrition and Fitness.  I am now pleased to offer massage therapy in addition to my flexibility training.  Anyone in central Florida looking to become more flexible, feel better, and relax and general, give me a call and I will get you on your way.  What I have discovered is that many people are so immobile and tight that they are unable to exercise properly until some of the tissues get loosened up.  I had my first experience with a new massage therapy client and he was very pleased with my techniques and is feeling MUCH better after only one session.  I am very pleased to be expanding my services and this is just one more way I can help people feel better, and improve overall fitness.

I can't stress enough the importance of stretching to improve flexibility if you are participating in any exercise program (and even if you aren't!).  The problem is that most people won't stretch themselves because they are in too much pain to do so.  And if you are in serious pain, please seek a doctor!

On that note, I will be sure to update with more workouts and recipes in the coming weeks.  Any feedback is definitely taken into consideration, so if there is something you want to see..let me know!

Recovery day workout!

Today I am feeling a bit of soreness so its all about recovery. This is aimed to flush out the soreness and still get a good workout. Don't be afraid of "overtraining." your body needs to move in order to heal. Trust me!

Today's workout:

5 x 500 m row with 2 min rest in between intervals
5 x 100 m swim with 2 min rest in between intervals

My 500 m rowing intervals ranged from 2:20-2:30 and my swims were about the same. At these paces, it was a nice, moderately easy workout to get blood flow into the muscles and help me recover.

Also when you are sore, the two most important things you should be doing is moving and drinking (water!). So I will push plenty of fluids today. I try to stay away from NSAIDS unless absolutely necessary because they are just terrible for your body and I don't want to erode the inner lining of my stomach. But hey that's just me. Also, I had a little foam roll release therapy today (thanks Jim!) and if you haven't experienced that yet..well..OW! But it's definitely worth it.

Have a great weekend y'all. Remember, more time on the weekend to get workouts in. One simple YES could change your life forever!
