Exercise for the week…
~ Dumbbell Preacher Curl ~
1) Starting Position: Sit or stand with the backside of your upper and lower arm resting on the support pad while holding a dumbbell in a supinated or underhand grip (palms facing upward towards the ceiling). In either position, stiffen your core and abdominal muscles to stabilize your spine during the movement. If standing, assume a split-stance position to stabilize your body.
2) Upward Phase: Exhale and slowly raise the dumbbell away from the support pad by bending the elbow and bringing the dumbbell towards you. Maintain a neutral wrist (avoid flexion or extension of the wrist) and avoid shifting your body backwards and arching your back during the lifting movement. Continue raising the dumbbell until the elbow is fully flexed.
3) Downward Phase: Inhale and slowly lower the dumbbell in a controlled manner back towards the starting position where the backside of the upper and lower arm rest upon the support pad.
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.
Food for the week…
~ Papaya ~
Nutritional facts about Papaya…
The romance and lure of the tropics is part of the papaya's appeal, even though this fruit is no longer as exotic as it once was. Today, papayas are relatively easy to buy. Sweet and refreshing, they also supply good amounts of Vitamin C and folate (folic acid), and some potassium. Papayas also contain an Enzyme called papain, which aids in digestion. (More)

Dish for the week…
~ Papaya-Tangerine Cheese Pie (Serving: 8 / Prep Time: ? min.)
There are lots of glorious flavors (ginger, tangerine, papaya, and orange) at play in this marvelous summertime pie. You will need to start the yogurt cheese a day ahead.
3 cups plain nonfat yogurt
4 ounces (about 17) gingersnaps
2 tablespoons extra-light olive oil
1/3 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons grated tangerine or orange zest
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
1/4 cup frozen tangerine or orange juice concentrate, thawed
1-3/4 cups peeled, chopped papaya (about 1 large)
1 cup canned juice-packed mandarin oranges, well drained
1. Set a large strainer lined with cheesecloth or white paper towels over a bowl. Spoon in yogurt and allow to drain, loosely covered in the refrigerator, until yogurt has reduced to 1-3/4 cups and is the consistency of soft cream cheese.
2. Preheat oven to 350°F. In food processor, process gingersnaps to fine crumbs. Add oil and process briefly to combine. Press crumb mixture into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake until crumbs are set, about 12 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
3. In medium bowl, beat together yogurt cheese and sour cream until smooth. Beat in sugar, tangerine zest and vanilla, and set aside.
4. In small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over tangerine juice concentrate. Warm mixture over low heat, stirring just until gelatin is dissolved, then remove from heat. Beat gelatin mixture into yogurt cheese mixture.
5. Stir 1-1/2 cups of papaya into yogurt cheese mixture. Pour filling into prepared crust. Refrigerate until the filling is set, 6 hours or overnight.
6. Just before serving, top pie with remaining papaya and mandarin oranges.
