Goodbye tan line season; hello callus season!

Posted: 09/21/2011

I have some fantastic tan lines from my summer runs and workouts this year. I know tan lines may not be the “norm” for sexy, but what makes you feel sexier than being active? Physical activity has numerous health benefits, as you can read about here, and stimulates various brain chemicals that leave you feeling happier, also improving your self-esteem. That’s...

Shaking things up with my protein!

Posted: 07/28/2011

Here at Fitness Together North End, we are all huge advocates of a high protein diet. It’s the exact dietary regiment that has helped me go from 23% body fat to 15% body fat in just 6 months!!

I recently fell in love with a new protein powder from Biotest called Metabolic Drive! On top of having an extremely replenishing amino acid profile, it is VERY figure friendly! One scoop of this delicious and rich tasting protein packs 110 calories, 1.5g of fat, 20g of protein, and only 4g of carbohydrates!!
