Welcome to Kimberley Kasper Health & Fitness
Fall and comfort food go hand-in-hand, and if you’re anything like me, you are here for it. And while comfort food is delicious, it is rarely good for you. So I set out to make one of my favorites a bit healthier - macaroni and cheese. We all love that creamy, cheesy goodness, but what if we told you that you can enjoy it without guilt? That's right; I’m about to unveil a recipe that will have your taste buds singing and your waistline thanking you.
Are you tired of tossing and turning, desperately trying to catch some much-needed shut-eye? Well, you're not alone. I've been there, battling the sleepless nights and dragging myself through groggy mornings. But fear not, because today I want to share with you three tried-and-true tips that have helped me conquer the elusive land of dreams.
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.
This week I’m sharing the workouts that I will be doing for the month of May. Every week I will be doing the same general workouts, designed to burn fat and build lean muscle. Since I’m not a trainer by profession, I’m sharing workouts that have been developed by others and are guaranteed to produce results. Join me!
Working out has been a great way for me to focus on something other than work, everything going on in the world, and simply destress. So many of you feel the same way, so I thought I’d share my plan for the week. I follow the same order each week and rest on Sunday and Friday. All workouts can be done at home, with or without weights.
While some made sourdough and others made banana bread, during our Shelter-In-Place I decided to try my hand at making kombucha. Kombucha is one of my favorite drinks, supports gut health, and if you purchase it at the store, it can be fairly expensive ($5 or more per bottle). So since I had nothing but time, I decided to give it a try. And wow, I am so happy I did.
My family loves a good pound cake but they are loaded with fat and sugar, so I limit how often I either make or have them in the house. My kids love to have a piece at night or grab one as they are heading out the door in the morning so I’ve been on the hunt for a healthier version. And I’ve found it!
The first week of August things ramp up in our house. We’re two weeks away from the start of school, summer programs are wrapping up, sports seasons are kicking in, and the dreaded summer homework is done. We’re savoring these final weeks of staying up late, sleeping in, and swimming all day. As always, dinners need to be quick and easy, and focus on the best fruits and veggies of the season.
