The buzz about zzz's

THE BUZZ ABOUT ZZZ'S

Can lack of sleep keep you from having the dream body you want?

Absolutely, it can!

Each week inside our online community, we take inventory of various behaviors beyond nutrition and exercise that may unknowingly impact our health and physique goals.

Lately, our focus has been sleep.

Although there is no single factor responsible for our current physical state, non-optimal function in any of the multi-faceted pillars of health can affect our body composition. Looking at exercise and calories alone is not enough. Factors such as sleep, stress, hormones, cycles, quality of nutrition, meal timing and spacing, overall movement beyond targeted exercise, mindset, and self-care practices all have an effect on how we look and feel.

We like to think of each area as a page in our holistic health story. Many of our new members...

😅Cool as a Cucumber

COOL AS A CUCUMBER

It seems obvious that in the throws of summer, we naturally gravitate toward consuming something cold to eat or drink. Cucumbers are one of our favorites! They're so refreshing on their own, with hummus, on top of your salad for extra crunch, and even mixed with ice water to remind you of your spa days.

After traveling to places like Vietnam, Malta, and Mexico, we have often wondered how climate affects local foods and nutrition choices for year-round residents.

We have always trusted that nature knows best, so if food grows in a hot climate, there must be some innate quality that assists the body with surviving the elements.

And it's true - foods that grow in these hot regions will not only keep you cool but also protect your skin from sunburn and improve your hydration.

When searching for foods to combat...

How NOT to do a push-up

HOW NOT TO DO A PUSH-UP

Friend, if you've been strength training with us live these past few months, you know by now that we are sticklers for proper form. The lifelong personal trainer in me can't unsee even the slightest variation in posture and muscle engagement that could be hindering progress or perpetuating an injury. In a world of competitive reps for time and pushing people to their all out max day in and day out, training with intention is a breath of fresh air for many of our members. There is a better way to chisel the body and build the strength you want without running yourself into the ground and potentially backfiring against your broader health goals.

While it is extremely important for injury prevention because it prioritizes joint and muscle safety before adding load, proper form is also crucial for maximizing your muscle contraction and gains while...

GET YOUR BREAKFAST ON!

Hey there,

We wanted to drop you into your morning to share one of our favorite, nourishing breakfast recipes that is full of flavor but won't leave you in a food coma an hour later. These egg white breakfast cups will keep well in the fridge, making it easier than ever to meal prep your way into vibrant health. So, grab your cup of coffee or tea, and see if you have these basic ingredients available to spice up your morning!

Here is what you'll need:

Liquid Egg Whites: Having a carton of organic egg whites handy provides an easy, lean protein source while not wasting whole egg yolks.
Vegetables of choice: We like to mix it up and use a combination of poblano peppers, tomatoes, spinach, or broccoli. A combination of mushrooms, green onions, and asparagus or zucchini works...

PICKLE JUICE, ANYONE?

Uncategorized May 25, 2020

There are two types of people in this world, friend: those who LOVE pickles and those who hate them. There doesn't seem to be much middle ground in terms of preference, right? We certainly have our sweet tooth, but if you crave savory, salty flavors as well, like sandwiches with jalapeños or peperoncinis, we are in the same camp. A touch of tang and a hint of sweetness at the same time lights us up like...

Our spirit animal, Remy from Ratatouille... "Now, imagine every great taste in the world being combined into infinite combinations. Tastes that no one has tried yet! Discoveries to be made!"

When I reached into the fridge the other day and couldn't find my favorite make-any-meal-taste-bomb-sauce, aka Brianna's Poppyseed Dressing, I knew I had to get creative. Then, I saw it... a random jar of pickles with just one left. My inner Remy starting thinking,...

SAUCY GLUTES

Uncategorized May 21, 2020

Friend, Did you catch us last week during our live Q&A session on Facebook? If so, may have heard a new term that has been circulating our group lately - saucy glutes. Yep, this is now a Green Door Life coined phrase that will be here to stay. But we digress. Let's revisit more specifically how to build a strong Gluteus Maximus! Several of our rock-star clients are reaching that point in their 12-week weight loss journey where they've lost an impressive amount of body fat (yes... even during a pandemic) and are ready to start focusing on muscle-building goals. We start off them off with full-body, fat-burning workouts delivered in our training app, but some people want to add a little volume or shape to a specific body part once they reach their initial goals. When we look at developing certain muscles in the body, it's important to take into account a few things:

1. Are you building for size, shape, or performance?

2. What kind of...
