When I first met Amy, she was honest and said she didn't really enjoy working it because she never saw results. However, she did promise to train with us at least 3x/week. Within the first week, she was addicted and started to train 🏋️‍♀️ as much as she could.
🏋️‍♀️ She's put in 2 months of hard work, and her effort speaks for itself. Amy works 50 hours a week, most weeks, 45 minutes away from her home. She became so committed to herself that she was still able to fit our workouts into her schedule 3-4x/weeks.

Amy has increased her strength, lost weight, got toned, added healthier habits to her lifestyle, and reduced her back pain. 😲😲

This easy Caesar dressing is great on salads you might find yourself using it as a sauce with other foods! It’s even good on sweet potatoes.

Don’t be scared of the anchovy paste – but if you decide not to use it, be sure to adjust the salt and pepper level.
1 egg
1 tsp anchovy paste
1-2 garlic cloves, minced 
¼ tsp each salt and pepper
1/2 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 cup avocado oil or light-tasting olive oil

If using an immersion blender, place all the ingredients except the oil in a jar and insert the blender. Blend until smooth, about 30 seconds. With the blender still on, slowly drizzle in the oil, moving the blender around so that all the oil is incorporated and the dressing emulsifies.

If using a blender, do the same as above, except slowly drizzle in the oil until it emulsifies into dressing. 

The mixture should be thick and creamy when you’re done.

Place in an airtight jar and store in the refrigerator for 2 weeks.

You CAN DO THIS!  Let’s give our wine glasses a vacation this week… 🍷🍺What do you say?  

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to skip the alcohol for the entire week. 

Yes. You. Can! 💪
A study in England found that taking regular “days off” (preferably at least two in a row) from drinking helped improve sleep. 

It also reduced the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, some cancers and liver disease. 

Cutting back on alcohol will also boost your energy levels, make it easier to lose weight…. and you might even notice that your skin suddenly looks better (clearer, less acne, and and wrinkle-prone!).

Going without alcohol can be a great time to pay attention, and notice how we feel without it, and what role it actually plays in our daily lives. 

I know it can be nice to order a beer or a glass of wine when you’re out to eat…. but just for this week, let’s give it a go without it. 

Are you up for joining me in this alcohol-free challenge? What do you think?  Let me know below!

]]><![CDATA[Baked Banana Chips]]>Wed, 23 Oct 2019 10:30:00 GMThttps://www.beyondfitsystems.com/articles/baked-banana-chips
These chips are a project – they take a long time to crisp in the oven, so make them when you know you’ll be home for several hours.

The trick to making good baked chips is to check them frequently. Because the chips aren’t uniform – not only in size, but in natural moisture/sugar content – they cook at different speeds. Also, not all ovens are perfectly calibrated to a baking temperature, so the time might vary.

Keeping an eye on them makes all the difference!
4 large ripe bananas
4 tablespoons of orange or lemon juice
1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice (optional)
Small amount of sea salt (optional)

Preheat the oven to 225 degrees and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Cut the peeled bananas into ¼-inch slices and dip into the orange/lemon juice before placing on the baking sheets. Sprinkle with optional spices/salt and put the chips in the oven.

After about 90 minutes, remove from the oven and gently peel the chips up from the parchment paper to flip them over. (Note: if they don’t easily flip and still feel really sticky, bake a little longer before you flip them all.)

Cook for another hour or so (they make take up to four hours total!) and start checking on them for doneness – you’ll know they are done when they turn light brown and are starting to become dry and crisp. Remove from the oven and let cool.

Store in an airtight container.
]]><![CDATA[Movement Challenge:  Let’s Get UPSIDE-DOWN!]]>Mon, 21 Oct 2019 10:30:00 GMThttps://www.beyondfitsystems.com/articles/movement-challenge-lets-get-upside-down
This week’s challenge – if you choose to accept it – will give you an entirely new perspective on things!

That’s because it’s all about INVERSION (or being upside down!) 
 
Why do inversions? Here are few great reasons to add them to your routine:
🧘🏻‍Yoga-style inversions can help build upper body strength and balance. 
🧘🏻All inversions can help improve circulation to your brain and stop lymphatic fluid from pooling in your legs. 
🧘🏻‍Being upside down gets you out of your comfort zone and can be fun!

Some people say it also helps them with back pain, although its efficacy with long-term pain hasn’t been proven yet in studies.

And don't worry if being upside down seems a little scary... there are many ways to practice, depending on your needs and comfort level, so there are no excuses not to do it!

Here are a few great ones to try: 
🤸🏻‍Assisted Inversions: lie on your back on the floor, with your legs extending UP a wall or over the top of a chair/couch cushion. 
🤸🏻‍Yoga Inversions: begin with Downward Dog pose and work up to full-on headstands… check out this link for progressions: www.yogajournal.com/poses/turn-your-practice-upside-down-guide-to-inversions
🤸🏻‍Use an inversion table.

Are you going to join us? If so, which method are you going to choose? Let us know in the comments! 

Bonus Points if you post a pic of you doing a handstand or other inversion move! :-) 

(Note: if you have health concerns like hypertension, vision problems, migraines or heart disease, it’s likely a good idea to check with your doctor before doing any serious inversion therapies.)
