Re: Next Move: Total Body Toning

[Guest guest]

Noel, my pro bodybuilder trainer, disapproves of compound movements; the focus should be on one muscle group at a time according to him. Mmmm raspberry mocha frappucino..

 

That's my complaint with compound moves too, . I don't mind it ff it's something like CLX where the movements are slow, but fast compound movements, especially if it's a new workout, are just aggravating!

Do you like protein powder? My quick go-to breakfast shake is a frozen banana (one and a half for the best texture), rice milk, chocolate protein powder, a spoonful of instant coffee (I said it was for breakfast!) and some honey for sweetness, to balance out the bitterness of the coffee. This and a handful of nuts as a mid-morning snack actually keeps me going until lunch. This morning I added some low-fat vanilla yogurt for extra flavor but it didn't work, it was too tangy for me. I think it would be good with frozen raspberries, though, sort of like a healthy raspberry mocha

I just made my first, without any kind of base mix smoothie. I did a cup of skim milk, some big frozen strawberries (about 6) and a banana. I like it but it is missing something. Any suggestions? Some vanilla maybe? I used my super duper blender to pulverize the frozen strawberries so it is very thick, like a milkshake, but way healthier! :-)
