Facing fitness in the eyes of winter

It appears that dreaded time of year is once again upon us. This is the time when so many of us, begin to let our fitness regime slip. I guess the best thing for us to do is to form new strategies that will combat winter's evil gaze. Obviously there's always the treadmill, stationary bikes and ellipticals. Though if you are like me, you find them boring and our likely to not get the workout you need from them.
During these cold months my number one cardio strategy is to use my little kettle bell more often, and personally I can really feel the workout that a kettle bell gives me. For anyone who is lacking in cardio during the winter, I recommend picking one up and giving it a try. The one thing about kettle bells if you haven't used one, is please get a video that covers kettle bell basics. There are many fast paced moves with a weight in hand, so proper form is important, to avoid injury.

How to beat a plateau

Plateau's are commonly caused by our own body and our own mindset. First off the body is constantly adapting and constantly changing. When we eat the same food day after day and do the same routine, our body simply adapts. The number one way to prevent this is to constantly switch it up. What do I mean? Simple, First keep your workout new and fresh, don't allow yourself to do the exact same routine more than say 3 or 4 weeks. Also I try one new workout each week and then work that workout into my routine to replace a older workout, by doing that my body is in constant confusion.
As for food, I let myself have something extra one day a week, not necessarily on the same day. My body will never know what day it gets something extra, or what the extra might be. For instant on Wednesday of week one I may have something with some extra carbs. On Thursday of week two I may eat something with some extra fat grams, and so on.
Mindset is vital in preventing and overcoming a plateau. If I don't think I can do it, then I can't do it. There is no amount of work or good nutrition that can counteract a negative mindset. I wake up each day and know that today is the day that I will surpass myself,as a result each day I prove that I can go beyond my past achievements and each day I am closer to that chiseled body  I am reaching for.

I want to be skinny

The amount of times that, the simple phrase "I want to be skinny" has entered the mind is astonishing. Being skinny has filled our desires for decades. Dietary trends have swayed in different directions with each passing year. Certain foods have gone from being good for you, to being bad for you and back to being good for you. It's no wonder that we have forgotten how to eat. It in fact may be the reason our quest for skinny food never ends.
So what are skinny foods? To me they are filling, nutritious and enjoyable. If the food I eat isn't enjoyable, then I probably won't eat it and neither would you. My goal is to fill my diet with delicious food, that feeds my body with energy rich foods.
I basically strive to eat a rounded diet, rich in flavonoids. I also eat a protein rich diet to provide building blocks for workout recovery. I seek fruits in vegetables with high antioxidants.
A list of my favorite skinny foods:
green apples
red grapes
spinach
peppers, various types and colors
almonds

One of my favorite post workout recipes is a high protein fruit smoothie.

1/2 cup plus water
blend all ingredients and adjust water to reach perfect consistency.

This post workout meal adds protein to speed workout recovery along with healthy carbs to replenish the body.
