Welcome to Kimberley Kasper Health & Fitness
Have you taken a pilates class yet? Pilates is one of my favorite ways in which to work out. Done either at home or in a studio, it’s the perfect option for those looking to tone and strengthen their core while also focusing on improving their flexibility. It’s low-impact and is the perfect option for new mommas, those recovering from injuries, and anyone looking to tone and build strength.
Between school, work, and after-school commitments, finding time to make a healthy dinner can be a challenge. If you’re like me, there are days where you feel like you are running from work to school, to practice, and back all before dinner. On days like that, having some go-to slow cooker recipes becomes a saving grace. So today I’m sharing five go-to slow cooker recipes your family will love.
If you’re looking to take your cardio workouts to the next level, try incorporating jump rope. Seriously, you question. Yes. A recent study found that skipping rope for only 10 minutes was comparable to jogging for 30 and that it’s one of the most effective forms of cardio around. Skipping rope requires you to engage your core, use both your leg and arm muscles, and gives you an incredible full body workout with heart healthy benefits.
Ah, the Fab4 Smoothie…the perfect blend of protein, fiber, greens, and fat to support blood sugar balance, improve digestion, and decrease cravings. The Fab4 smoothie is the best way to break your fast and because the basic recipe is so simple, there are millions of different possible variations to suit every like. This is one of my favorites, the cookies & cream.
I need a little variety in my life. That means doing the same workouts day in and day out (at different intensities) just doesn’t cut it. I get bored. So to keep me engaged and coming back for more, I like to find new workouts. And YouTube is the perfect place to find them. Today I’m sharing my top three YouTube workouts.
After a brief hiatus, my popular “What’s for Dinner Mom” series is back. As the kids head back (or off) to school and summer starts to wind down, many of us are looking for a bit of structure around mealtime and that means knowing what you’ll be having before the day begins. Weekly I like to share what we’ll be making for dinner in our house. Recipes are fresh, healthy, simple, to the point, and and don’t take serious prep work because let’s face it, none of us have the time.
When summer rolls around and nights are filled with dinner fresh from the BBQ, nothing compliments it quite like a potato salad. The coolness of the salad against the tang of the BBQ is just perfection. But all too often potato salads are loaded with unhealthy fats and heavy carbs, making potato salad something I’m not able to indulge in as often as I’d like. That is until I tried this healthier “potato” salad.
I’ve picked up some bad food habits this year and finally reached a point where the things I normally would do to reset weren’t working. I’d do great one day and then go back to bad habits the next. This yo-yo was constant and I began to feel off. Headaches and side pain were frequent, and I felt like I was in a mental fog a little more often than I’d like.
