Simply for your MIND

Food for thought…

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime. Teach a man to create an artificial shortage of fish and he will eat steak. - Jay Leno

Simply for your BODY

Feel the burn for the week…

~ Butt & Hip ~

Exercise for the week…

~ Stability Ball Reverse Extension ~

1) Starting Position: Lie prone (on your stomach) over the top of a properly-inflated stability ball (one that compresses approximately 6" under your body weight) with both feet and hands on the floor, hip- and shoulder-width apart.

2) Upward Phase: Gently exhale, contract your abdominal/core muscles to stiffen your torso and slowly walk yourself forward until your hips lie directly over the top of the ball, lifting both legs in unison off the floor until they are parallel with your torso. In this position, your body weight is distributed over the ball and supported by both hands placed on the floor. Press and hold your legs together so they move at the same time. Think about squeezing a quarter between your knees to help maintain the position.

3) Lowering Phase: Inhale and slowly lower both legs in unison back towards the floor while keeping them fully extended.

Before beginning any fitness program, always see a qualified healthcare provider for advice and to address any questions or concerns. The exercises presented on this website are for suggestion only and should not be substituted for medical diagnosis or treatment. Participate at your own risk and stop if you feel faint or experience shortness of breath.

Dish for the week…

~ Cranberry-Ginger Applesauce (Serving: Makes 3 cups / Prep Time: 30 min.)

Choose any combination of apples you like. If you use red apples, the peel will heighten the blush that the cranberries give to the sauce.

2-1/2 pounds apples (about 7 medium)
1/2 cup cranberries, fresh or frozen (no need to thaw)
1 slice fresh ginger, 1-inch x 1-1/2-inch
Grated zest of 1 lemon

1. Core apples and cut into wedges, but do not peel.

2. In medium saucepan, combine apples, cranberries, ginger, and lemon zest. Cover, turn heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring occasionally, 7 to 10 minutes until apples have given up juice and are at a steam-boil. Reduce to low and simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until apples have totally collapsed and no longer hold their shape.

3. Discard ginger slice. Pass through a food mill or coarse sieve to remove skin.
