The Climb- Workout
âTHE CLIMBâ
This is a great cardio work out that you can do by yourself, or with a friend or group!! You can be creative with the timing; here are a couple of examples:
-
Set a timer for an allotted amount of time (maybe 10-15 minutes) and see how many sets you can get through
-
Have a contest with someone else to see who can reach a set number first
-
See how quickly you can get through a specified number of sets.... Etc.
There are 5 exercises that you will perform in each set.
Set #1 - do 1 repetition of each of the 5 exercises. Set #2 - do 2 reps of each exercise
Set #3 - do 3 reps of each exercise
And so on.....The Exercises:
-
High Knees â think marching in place, but making sure your knee comes up about hip height, can be done fast or slow
-
Tantrum - lying face down, with arms straight out in front and legs straight behind, brace the abs, then alternate raising opposite arm and legs, so it looks like a small child having a tantrum on the floor and y

Ready, Set, Run!
Ready, Set, Run!!!
Many people looking to get in shape, and/or lose weight often decide theyâll start running. Here are some tips on how to get going and stay going without injuring yourself.
Start slow! Seriously, if you just start running out of the gate, you are putting yourself at a very high risk for shin splints, and/or other very painful injuries that will only set you back. Itâs very easy for runners to jump in too fast and over-train.
Much like boot camp, or any other exercise regiment, it is important to ease your way into the habit. I recommend starting with walking and getting used to that for a week or two. If youâre getting a bit antsy, I would do an interval walk/run. Walk for 2-3 minutes, then maybe 30-60 seconds run/jog, then back to walking for a few minutes. Interval training is a fantastic way to build endurance without injuries. Eventually you can increase the run time, and decrease the walking.
Make sure to take the time to warm up and stretch after yo
...I will start on Monday....
Where did you come from? - I have always struggled with my weight but was never able to stick with something long enough to be able to see any life changing results. When I first started at Tall Trainer I was eating horribly and not exercising at all. I have an office/desk job so it didn't help that I sit all day at work but then get home from work and eat dinner and then sit on the couch all evening. I had reached the highest weight I had ever been and felt like I was being pushed into a corner and didn't know where to go. I would always tell myself "starting on Monday, I will start a diet and start working out". It sounded like a good idea in my head but typically it never happened once Monday rolled around. If by chance, it did start, I would only last a short few days. Anytime that I would lose weight, I would quickly gain it all back plus some. I knew what I had to do in order to keep the weight off but I did not have the will power to do this.

Green POWER bowl
Recently Jeremy and I tried out CoreLife Eatery in Webster (which was phenomenal). I ordered one of their power bowls and wanted to try to re-create it since I don't see myself driving to Webster everyday.  I think this is pretty close to it if I do say so:)
This is SO yummy and very filling. A great lunch or dinner.  It may seem like "work" because it calls for making your own dressing. I promise you I am a LAZY cook and it doesn't ruffle my feathers :)  If something has many steps I AM OUT!Â
This is also dairy and gluten free:)Â You could make it vegan and omit the chicken.
The Dressing:
(4 servings)
1/2 cup cashews (I used unsalted)
Juice from 1 lime
Juice from 1/2 lemon
1 clove garlic
2 handfuls of fresh cilantro (great time to start growing your own)
6-8 tablespoons of water (depending on how thick you like it)
Mix in a blender (the Vitamix whips this up so fast)-Â This is a ticker dressing but coats the power bowl really well.

Overnight Oats
Grab some mason jars and get ready to prepare your
weeksâ worth of breakfast.
These are so easy and yummy! There are about a billion recipes for this but I will share my favorite and easiest combination. Feel free to be creative and change it up to your liking. I usually make 5 at once and they last in the fridge for a week (at least I havenât gotten sick yet from the week old ones!)
I do an assembly line style and it goes super quick. Then you have a grab and go breakfast for the rest of the week.
Recipe PER ONE JAR-
-
1â2 cup oats (I donât use the quick oats but I am sure they would work)

-
1â4 tsp. (2 grams) of unsweetened cocoa powder

How do I Target Trouble Spots....
How To Target Trouble Spots...
We all have them. The spots we try to carefully drape clothes around. If itâs the tops of the thighs we wear longer shorts. If itâs back of the arm we make sure our shirts have some sleeve to cover them. If itâs belly we never show it and wear loose and draping clothing at the middle. If itâs butt we wear long tops that hang over the hips.
One thing is certain; as the weather gets warmer it gets tougher to hide these sinister areas. What if you didnât have to stress so much about how to cover these spots because they look better than they ever have before? I hope to point you in the right direction with these short but powerful tips.
How to eliminate the âtroubleâ spots:
⢠Total Body Exercises⢠Spot Toning
⢠Weight Loss
Iâll start with weight loss because itâs the most obvious. If you lose weight the majority comes from fat storage. Fat is stored at all these âtroubleâ locations. When losing weight you will lose fat at these areas but it will se
