When trying to eat healthy and/or when trying to get and stay as lean as possible, making your own food is typically the best option. Ifyou have to occasionally eat on the run however, Subway can be a decent choice. Though Subway is commonly thought of as one of the “healthiest” fast-food chains, that doesn’t mean every pick on the menu is a winner. Here are three items on the Subway menu to look at next time you’re trying to eat healthy while eating out:
#
Rotisserie Style Chicken Salad 300 cal / 18g fat / 12g carb / 24g pro
Calculated with banana peppers, black olives, cucumbers, green peppers, jalapenos, lettuce, spinach, red onions & tomatoes Dressing: vinegar & oil
6” Sub: Egg & Cheese 340 cal / 10g fat / 46g carb / 17g pro
Calculated on Parmesan Oregano bread with banana peppers, black olives, green peppers, jalapenos, spinach, red onions & tomatoes No Dressing
6” Sub: Veggie Delite 210 cal / 1.5g fat / 40g carb / 10g pro
Calculated on Sourdough bread with cucumbers, green peppers, lettuce, red onions & tomatoes No Dressing

Making your own food is almost always the best way to go if you are really trying to dial in your diet. But if you’re on the run, Subway can be a decent option. However, you can quickly run into trouble if you assume every offering at the Subway is good for you. Pick one of the items in today’s article for a better, healthier choice!

Frankly, eating at McDonalds is NOT ideal if you’re trying to lose fat, stay trim, and prioritize your health. BUT – I also know that people are going to grab fast food from time to time. If you’re going to eat at McDonald’s, here are three choices that aren’t as bad as the rest:
#
1 – Whole Egg – Round or Scrambled
70 cal / 4.5 g fat / 1g carb / 7g protein
Ask for salt & pepper packets, as well as hot sauce!
2 – Pico Guacamole with Artisan Grilled Chicken
420 cal / 12g fat / 39g carb / 38g protein
Order on sesame seed bun, skip the buttermilk ranch sauce.
3 – Southwest Grilled Chicken Salad
350 cal / 12g fat / 27g carb / 37g protein
Surprisingly low in calories and high in protein!

Fast food should not be your number one choice if getting and staying at a healthy weight is your goal. However, if you’re going to grab and go every once and a while, there are typically some decent meal choices that can get you by. I hope these three (semi) healthy McDonald’s picks help you stay on track with your fitness program!

That’s why we kicked it off here at the studio with some HARD WORK!
But since you missed this morning’s workout at FVT – and you’re probably training at home instead – I’m going to bring the gym to YOU. All you need is about 20 minutes to get it done: # Labor Day Bodyweight Bootcamp Workout
Set your timer for 40 seconds on / 20 seconds off. You’ll do as many reps as you can of each exercise in 40 seconds, rest for 20 between moves (and 60 between rounds), and complete the full circuit three times:
— skater hops — close push ups — swing lunges — recline row — burpee — cross body mountain climber
Crank that one today – or ANY time – to burn some fat, build some lean muscle, and skyrocket your metabolism.
PS – Spots in our program are filling fast for the Fall! If you’ve been thinking about giving FVT a try, reach out using the contact form linked here ASAP: https://www.emailmeform.com/builder/form/705723
A home-based Yoga practice is a key part of my stress relief routine.
A lot of people think that I just train with my clients most of the day, and spend any extra time coming up with ideas for new workouts.
While I do both of these things regularly, and frankly they are my favorite part of the job!… believe it or not, I spend the large majority of my time these days in other activities, such as:
Motivating, delegating to staff
Figuring out ways to get our clients the best possible results
Creating content for our blog, email newsletter, and social media channels
Generating interest from new clients in a variety of ways
Day-to-day operations
Getting this all running smoothly, generating enough profit at the end of the month to be able to support my family, all in the middle of an on-going pandemic, can be quite stressful!!
This is why I need a regular routine that can help. And I’m willing to bet that you deal with some stresses, and that you could use some help too.
Yoga is fantastic for this because it can benefit three aspects of ourselves that are often affected by stress: our body, mind, and breathing. If it’s not part of your stress relief routine, I highly recommend it! Sign up for my upcoming “Sport Yoga” series, and you’ll see what I mean:
We’ll meet once per week for a 45-minute home-based practice (over Zoom), and I will help you reduce stress, plus do something positive for your health and fitness, all at the same time.
Give yourself a little bit of time each day for your Yoga practice, and after a couple of weeks, you will start noticing subtle changes. Keep going, Yoga will become part of your regular routine, and it can help you manage life’s stresses well into the future!

This series is 100% online. I think this might be one of the reasons that sign ups are so strong. Of all the different ways you can work out at home, Yoga seems to be one the easiest and best. You don’t need much (if any) sort of added equipment; it takes very little space; and you can practice in the privacy and comfort of your own personal enviornment.
In case you have to miss any of the sessions, you’ll also get the recorded versions, so you can go back and do them at any time that fits your schedule.
I’m even including the full recordings of last year’s 30-day Flexibility / Mobility Challenge, which was another special online series we did in the Fall of 2020 that included 15 minutes per day of stretching, flexibility, and core work… so that you can get started on your improved movement goals right away!
