Race Prep with Nava Health and Vitality Center

admin — Wed, 10 May 2017 16:25:57 +0000

Race Prep with Nava Health and Vitality Center I am currently three weeks into my race training for the Baltimore 10 miler and thanks to Nava Health and Vitality Center, I am feeling pretty darn good. That might be partially because I haven’t quite worked up to my training mileage yet because I have found it hard to train for this race while maintaining my CrossFit workouts but none the less, Nava has worked wonders on my body. Training 5 days a week for CrossFit and adding in 3 runs per week can take a toll on your body, so making sure I am taking care of it properly to recover is absolutely necessary. I have been visiting Nava once per week to receive a different treatment (part of their race training package) each time while I am leading up to my race. So far I have had a wellness consult, chiropractic appointment, massage therapy and my first ever experience with acupuncture (which I shared about on Insta Stories). While each appointment at Nava has been very different, every treatment has been an amazing experience that has left me feel relaxed, revived and like I just stepped out of the […]

Muscle Beach Workout

admin — Tue, 05 Apr 2016 11:00:16 +0000

I won’t say that I have broken my daily work out routine just yet. I am human. Let’s just go ahead and say that I get creative on finding new ways to stay fit outside of the typical gym and classes as much as I can. If I lived by the beach you would probably be able to find me there daily getting my work out on …. from running along the shore to inline skating on the board walk. There are so many activities to inspire a work out with such a view. My new favorite work out has been inline skating with my new Rollerblades. It has brought back so many fun, childhood memories of pretending I was a professional figure skater with grace and elegance as I twirled my way around the neighborhood courtyards. The best thing about inline skating along the beach is that you don’t even realize you are getting a work out in until the muscles start burning the next day. That’s my favorite kind of work out. It’s a fun and easy way to get in shape for summer! Wearing – Top (Pheel); Leggings (Pheel); Sneakers (similar pair Nike); Sunglasses (J.Martasand) Wearing- Mesh Top (Pheel); Bra (Onzie); Shorts […]

Soup Season- Easy Cabbage & Potato Recipe

Michelle Martin — Tue, 11 Nov 2014 13:00:21 +0000

Soup season is here and I’m pretty excited about it. There is nothing more satisfying on a cold, chilly night than a homemade bowl of warm soup or chowder. It has become a weekly ritual in our household to try a new recipe and save our favorites. A pot full of soup in the fridge will feed us for days. It is a cost efficient and belly filling means to stay warm on cold nights. It all began thanks to my From the Farmer delivery and receiving two heads of cabbage, that’s a lot of cabbage! So I had to think of something to do with it… sauerkraut…kimchi… nope, both too complex. Due to a slam packed week and a limited window of opportunity I decided to go with soup – chop it up, add spices, cover. Too easy. Below is a basic, easy cabbage and potatoes soup recipe. The ingredients are simple and you can edit to your preference. This one pot soup is delicious and so easy to pull together. I went with the following: 2 tablespoons of olive oil 2 carrots, diced 2 stalks celery, diced 2 cloves garlic, minced 6 cups vegetable broth 2 medium gold potatoes, diced 1/2 head large […]
