High Energy Pre Workout Steel Cut Oatmeal Breakfast

This is a hearty, high energy breakfast. I only eat this before a very intense workout like Zumba, Turbo Fire, Turbo Kick, P90X, INSANITY, etc. I eat it about 1.5 hours before hand, so I have enough time to digest. This is my go to before my 2 hours of crazy teaching every Wednesday. I could not last the 2 hours without a hearty breakfast.

Combine all ingredients and enjoy:

1 cup steel cut oatmeal (cook per directions on container)
1/2 cup toasted walnuts
2 TBS flax meal
2 TBS Hemp seeds
2 TBS Almond Butter (no salt or sugar)
1/2 Frozen fruit (blueberries, raspberries, etc.)
2 TBS Grade B Maple Syrup

Use organic ingredients where available.

Enjoy

How to Become an Aerobics Instructor. What Training Do You Need to Be a Group Exercise Instructor??

Get Trained: How to Become a Fitness Instructor

If you have a passion for fitness and helping others, becoming a group fitness instructor may be for you. But, it can be a little confusing trying to figure out where to start.

Ask yourself what is your favorite class? That would be a good place to start. Find out if that type of class needs a specific type of training. For example, you have to take Zumba training to teach Zumba and you need to take Turbo Kick training to teach Turbo Kick.

After you find out if you need format specific training, you need to figure out where you want to teach. Some clubs require additional training for their instructors. For example, many clubs require what is called a national group exercise certification. This training deals with a lot of safety, anatomy, and fitness topics that are not covered in format specific training. 2 well known organization that do general group exercise certifications are AFAA (Aerobics and Fitness Association of America, http://www.afaa.com/ ) and ACE (American Council on Exercise, http://www.acefitness.org/ ). There are lots of others. Find out what the facility that you want to train at prefers. Also, many facilities require CPR and AED training so that you can react in case of an emergency.

In addition, if it is allowed, you may want to shadow or be mentored by a seasoned instructor. Work with them one on one fine tuning your queuing, class formatting and maybe even teaching a part of their class to gain confidence.

Every club is different. So, it’s important to know what is required of you so you are prepared to start your fitness journey.

I try to avoid processed foods and all the chemicals they contain. So, I love to make my own salad dressing. It's easy and fun to play with the ingredients. I rarely make the dressing the same way twice but here is an estimate of my latest easy dressing. Enjoy.

Vegan Raspberry Herb Vinaigrette

1/2 cup fresh raspberries
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 TBS agave
2 TBS lemon juice
4-6 sprigs or stems of parsley and cilantro
Any other herbs to taste
Himalayan salt to taste (I often forget this)

Blend. Makes about 6-8 servings for small side salads.
