School is back in session...so it's time to follow the 3 F's! FOCUSED, FITNESS & FUN!

Good morning friends!!  It has been a LONG time since I blogged and to say it's been because I've been BUSY is an understatement.  I don't know about you, but my summer was a whirlwind of activity...running from track meet to track meet with my son, then off to Regional and National Jr Olympics with my son.  By the way, did I mention this was the FIRST season that my husband and I decided to finally listen to my Dad and get my son involved in Club Track through USATF?  Let's just say...this kid of mine is pretty darn good and can run FAST and jump FAR!  Well, the track season has finally come to an end after 8 months, school has started and now I'm back to just one practice a week for my kid (basketball), 90 minutes to 2 HOURS of homework assistance a night, changing my Clients lives and souls through the power of fitness 4 days a week along with Saturdays at my RESULTS based Boot camp AND....keeping up with my workouts.  Speaking of workouts, how have YOU been doing????  Are you too busy to get in a workout???  Too tired???  Not feeling motivated???  All the above?!  Well, get back on track friends!!

The best thing you can do for yourself and your family is carve out 5-10-15 minutes to an HOUR of "ME TIME" to de-stress from the craziness of your day.  If you don't have an hour to spend on working out, that's okay!  If you can take 5 minutes a day to do something for your Health and Fitness, it will do great things for your MIND, body and soul.  I know you're thinking "really Famisha?!  5 minutes???  That can't do anything for me!"  Sure it can!  Jump up right now and give me 30 squats, now follow that with 50 jumping jacks, 20 push ups, 30 tricep dips off of a chair, 30 floor crunches and a 30-60 second plank.  Guess what?!  You just revved up your metabolism, got your heart pumping and burned some calories.  You're feeling better and did something to get you one step CLOSER to your fitness goal!!

Don't be the person who sits around and says, 2016 will be the year I _________________(fill in the blank).  Start NOW!!  You are worth it!  If you live in the East Valley, feel free to join me this Saturday, August 29th at Cosmo Park (2502 E. Ray Road) in Gilbert at 6:15AM for my Co-Ed RESULTS based Boot camp.  It's open to ALL fitness levels.  All you need to bring is $10 CASH only, a towel, water and yoga mat or beach towel.  It is a lot of fun in a great atmosphere with a guarantee of a HIGH CAL BURN!

Next week, I will be back...I'm going to try and blog at least 2 times a month...and I will be sharing with all of you one of my FAVORITE, quick and yummy treats that both my hubby and son LOVE!  It's low in calories, low in fat, low in sodium and provides a ton of ENERGY.  So stay tuned!

I hope you enjoyed my blog and will continue to read my thoughts of the day on "Thumbs up Thursday."  Feel free to send me any fitness related questions you may have and I will also post occasional links of my FOX-10 fitness segments along with my other television fitness segments.

It's time for me to get ready to head out soon for my 80 minute Hot Yoga practice...I wish you a very Happy, Healthy Day.  And remember the 3 F's...FOCUSED, FITNESS and FUN!  Thanks for reading!!

Namaste...

As Always...Stay Fit and Happy!

It's FEBRUARY...how's your New Year's Resolution going???

Greetings friends!  It has been quite some time since I've blogged and to say my life has been extremely BUSY lately is an understatement...but BUSY is good!  Today will be a quick blog.  I thought I'd check in to see how everyone's New Year's Resolution is going?  It's now February 5th, 2015 and since I own my own fitness studio in which I solely train Clients; I haven't seen how the gym scene looks.  From the 10 1/2 years that I did work in a commercial gym facility, I remember how CRAZY the first 2 weeks of January were and then by the 3rd week it started to taper off unless members were working with a Personal Trainer or were die hard "regulars" in their favorite Group X classes.  So how's it going for YOU?  Have you lost your Holiday weight gain?  Have you changed your eating habits?  It's quite simple really...PROPER FOOD INTAKE equals WEIGHT LOSS.  Watching your Sodium Intake equals a FLATTER STOMACH...along with WEIGHT LOSS. 

If you found that you've lost your focus, motivation and frankly find it easier to go to the drive-thru for your favorite fatty foods, drink tons of soda that ruins your insides, alcohol NOT in moderation which creates empty calories, or constant snacking because you're "bored," GET IT TOGETHER!  If YOUR Fitness Goal is truly important to YOU...treat today as though it's JANUARY 1ST and start TODAY.  Believe in yourself!  You are better than your EXCUSES!  The feeling of Self-Accomplishment after a tough workout is such a FABULOUS feeling...so JUST DO IT!  Have a better ATTITUDE.  Smile because you are doing something TODAY to make yourself a happier, healthier person!

I am attaching a link to my last FOX-10 Phoenix fitness segment.  If you are looking for ideas on how to get a smaller waist line...tighter abs...stronger core, then check this out and do these exercises EVERY DAY.  Yep!  Everyday!  Enjoy!!  You can check out my LIVE fitness segment EVERY last Sunday of every month at 7:20AM on F0X-10 News.  If you don't live in Arizona, you can watch a live feed via their website.

 
Hope you enjoyed my segment!  Now JUMP UP (like I am in this picture ;-) and remember FITNESS IS FUN!  You have 24 hours in one day...take one of those hours or even 20-30 minutes to get one step closer to YOUR Fitness Goal!!  YOU.CAN.DO.IT!

I'm now going to get ready to head out to my Hot Yoga practice...so as always, thanks for reading...NAMASTE.

As Always...Stay Fit and Happy!

Give the GIFT OF FITNESS this holiday season!

Good morning friends!  I hope you are all having a fabulous morning so far.  In Arizona right now, it is pouring RAIN...which is a good thing and as all Arizonians know, it will be done by NOON and you'll never even know it rained.  I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving and took into consideration all of the calories I blogged about a couple weeks ago and how to burn them off.  I really enjoy that holiday because I truly love giving thanks for the beautiful blessings in my life every year! 

Now...it's the month of SHOPPING!  Some of you battled with crowds on Black Friday and others (like myself) shopped on Cyber Monday.  How about you give a LOVED ONE the Gift of Health this holiday season?  Glisten Girls Fitness has gift certificates that you may purchase for your loved ones.  Do you know someone who could benefit from Virtual Training?  If you don't live in Arizona, but are looking for some fitness guidance with a great customized program design specifically for YOU...Virtual Training is for you.  Virtual Training can be purchased directly from my website:  www.glistengirlsfitness.com.  Select the SERVICES tab, click Virtual Training and the directions are right there on the page.  If you're purchasing this as a gift, include that in your notes when you purchase it and I can send you the Gift Certificate for your loved ones "stocking stuffer."

You may also purchase session packages via Gift of Fitness certificates.  Those have to be purchased directly thru me.  Once purchased, I can give you the certificate as well.  Every year, this is a popular gift that most couples and friends like to buy for each other over the holiday.  If you do purchase the Gift of Fitness for your loved one, be sure to have them call me after the holiday to schedule them for January...the sooner the better because January is a CRAZY month of New Year's Resolutioners. ;-)

Here are the two Gift Certificate options:

Thanksgiving CALORIES...keeping it REAL

Good morning friends!!  I hope you are enjoying a beautiful, crisp FALL morning so far today.  Today's blog will be brief and to the point...Thanksgiving calories for most of your FAVORITE foods.  I do this every year!  Every year, I break down how many calories are typically in one of your Thanksgiving menu items and how much time you will NEED to spend on either the treadmill or elliptical to BURN.IT.OFF!  Now remember, going for a brisk walk outside at a good pace...or a jog can also do the same if not better that being on a treadmill or elliptical can do.

Are you ready for the FACTS???  Here you go!

Turkey:  serving size of 6 oz is about 340 calories.  Time on treadmill 35 min/elliptical 56 min
Ham:  serving size of 6 oz is about 300 calories.  Time on treadmill 31 min/elliptical 49 min
Gravy:  serving size 1/2 cup is about 150 calories.  Time on treadmill 15 min/elliptical 25 min
Green bean casserole:   serving size 1/2 cup is about 150 calories.  Time on tread 23 min/elliptical 37 min
Stuffing:  serving size 1/2 cup is about 130 calories.  Time on tread 18 min/elliptical 30 min
Mashed potatoes:  serving size 1/2 cup is about 150 calories.  Time on tread 15 min/elliptical 25 min
Rolls:  serving size 1 roll is about 155 calories (with BUTTER).  Time on tread 15 min/elliptical 24 min
Cranberry Sauce:  serving size 1/2 cup is about 180 calories.  Time on tread 20 min/elliptical 31 min
And...DESSERTS! 
Pumpkin Pie:  serving size 1 piece is about 180 calories.  Time on tread 20 min/elliptical 31 min
And MY weakness...Pecan Pie:  serving size 1 piece is 500 (YEP!! You read this right) calories.  Time on tread 50 min/elliptical 60 minutes.

Now, I'm sure there are many food items that I may have left off that you usually include on your Thanksgiving menu.  I wanted to give you the most "popular" items.  Take a look...cut this out...tape it to your fridge...bathroom mirror or somewhere that you can review it and know that you will need to BURN OFF all of those calories that you are going to consume next Thursday.  Instead of going straight to the couch to watch football OR take a nap after eating a ton, go for a walk outside with your loved ones to laugh, chat and burn off SOME of the calories you have consumed.

Remember, Thanksgiving is a time to give THANKS for things in your life.  I myself, am very THANKFUL for my beautiful family, my HEALTH, my wonderful friends, loyal Clients and for having a Career that I truly LOVE that never seems like "work" to me although I work 24/7.  Take the time to be THANKFUL for the things that truly matter in life.  I would like to thank YOU for always taking the time to read my blog, watch my segments on FOX-10, attend my RESULTS based Boot camps on Saturdays, keeping me busy by CHANGING some of your LIVES and TOUCHING some of YOUR souls thru the power of fitness EVERY single week.  I am truly happy and feel very blessed for all of YOU.


Now...it's time for me to head out to my favorite Hot Yoga practice in which I am very THANKFUL to be able to go do every week.  I love being able to do something for my mind, body and soul that I feel so fabulous about after each and every practice.  Have a beautiful day my friends!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!

As Always...Stay Fit and Happy!
