For All You Dog Lovers!

I don't have a dog...yet that is.  My hubby's trying to convince me that a Great Dane would be a wonderful addition to our family!  And I must admit, after going to a dog show last weekend I completely fell in love with those gentle giants!   I was thinking the daily dog walks would help my fitness routine too :)

Many of our friends have dogs as pets and we were trying to find some gift ideas for their furry little companions.  We came across the site Trixie & Peanut and found so many neat gift ideas!  And they even have a kitty korner for those of us with cats!  Too cute!  You can find everything you need on this site.  Check it out!

The Power Of A Plant

This quick little blurb in Shape magazine really caught our interest.  We've all heard that plants are good for your home because they absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen.  But a new study shows they do even more for your health!  Plants can actually filter out harmful indoor VOC's (volatile organic compounds).  Emitted by paints, cleaners, and air fresheners, these pollutants may cause headaches, respiratory problems, and even cancer.  The best picks they recommend are:  English ivy, purple waffle, wax, and purple heart varieties.  Good little tidbit to know!

Sports Nutrition Course This Weekend!

Did you know that what you eat and when you eat, your after workout meals can increase your energy, enhance your ability to gain muscle mass and improve your performance in subsequent workouts?

Your body has an enhanced ability to replenish muscle glycogen stores (one of your main fuel sources during workouts) and repair muscle tissue during the 2 hours following a workout. In order to optimize recovery, make sure to consume a recovery snack within 30 minutes of your workout and a real meal within 2 hours. 

The recovery snack and real meal should include carbohydrate and protein. When choosing drinks, bars or other recovery foods, look for a 3:1 or 4:1 ratio of carbohydrate to protein. Chocolate milk is an example of a recovery drink with a 4:1 ratio of carbohydrate to protein. 

For more information on recovery nutrition, OC Fitness Solutions will be hosting a Sports Nutrition Course by Kristy Richardson, Owner/Operator of OC Nutrition. This course will be about the fundamentals of preparing you or your client to get their nutrition in shape based on goals. This course offers CEC's by major certifying bodies including the National Atheletic Trainers Association(NATA).

Harvey's Seatbelt Bags

 

These amazingly stylish bags are designed by the Harvey's, a couple that one day came up with a good idea.  Scratch that, a GREAT idea!  Fashionable and over the top cute, you can choose from so many different styles.  I love this new collection, Tough Love.  Great colors, cute wallet to match and of course the heart key ring is a must!

For all you mommies who are always with children in tow, these diaper bags won't make you dread carrying diapers.  I find mine very versatile, in fact I sometimes use mine as a gym bag or carry-on bag when traveling.  The Harvey's Red adds pizzaz when you need it or makes for a good distraction piece ;)

With Valentines Day around the corner, now is a good time to send your honey a little hint.  Click this little Harvey's Hint Box to print and cut out your personal hints.

     HAVE A HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
