Our good friend Roni Noone gave us her green tea with tropical fruit smoothie recipe from her GreenLiteBites book and blog. Who doesn’t like to cool down with a smoothie when the sun is beating down on you after a nice long Summer workout? This easy recipe uses your favorite green tea – we love Tavalon Tea – ourselves. Then mix in some of your favorite fruits like banana, papaya, pineapple and some berries. Blend away and drink up. Stay thirsty my friend.
Since all movement burns calories – it goes to reason that fidgeting can help you stay fit. But you better be doing a lot of it every day. This kind of incidental physical activity helps but is no substitute for exercise. Sorry but shaking your leg when you watch TV doesn’t replace a cardio workout. But if you park farther away or take the stairs instead of the elevator you will burn more calories and every calorie burned is not one around your waist making your jeans tighter.
Here’s another of Roni Noone‘s awesome recipes. Her spicy tomato soup with pinto beans recipe from her GreenLiteBites book and blog is delicious. She calls this soup spiced but we called it spicy because our spices are a little hotter than hers. Feel free to spice this recipe to your taste. Grab some condensed tomato soup – low sodium, some water, some of your favorite spices like chili powder, cilantro, cumin. Throw in some real tomatoes and your favorite beans – we go for pinto beans here. Turn that pot on and cook up some dinner.
Some people think that it is better not to eat anything before a workout or exercise session in order to burn more fat. Research just does not back that up. A recent study with a bunch of bikers did not come to that conclusion.

Here’s a great twist on the grilled cheese sandwich for the kiddies from Roni Noone It’s her delicious grilled chocolate and cherries sandwich recipe from her GreenLiteBites book and blog. Grab some whole grain bread – those sandwich thins work great, some dark chocolate chips some cherries (with the pits taken out – duh) and grill those bad boys up in a pannini press or a pan. What kid will not love to help you make this and eat this wonderful treat.
Here are a couple of quick tips to help you get the most out of your workout shoes.
It’s important to choose the right shoe for the right workout. One way to hurt yourself is to use the wrong shoe for the wrong sport. It’s not a good idea to regularly go running in tennis shoes. Tennis shoes are built to support your foot while playing tennis and running shoes are built to help you run.
Another common mistake people make is to wait too long to throw away their shoes. Just because the shoe looks okay from the outside doesn’t mean you should keep using it – when all the foam and cushiony stuff that supports your foot degrades it’s time to toss those shoes. Dr Fitness gets new running shoes each month because he runs everyday.
