3 Healthy Foods You Shouldn’t Eat

We are getting ready for our 14-day “Holiday Shred” challenge, I am so excited!

Info and apply here =>> https://bit.ly/fvtholidaychallenge

Since we will be focusing on diet and meal planning as a big part of the program, I wanted to share a quick list of healthy foods you should AVOID.

Now I know this sounds counter-intuitive…

…but knowing what foods NOT to eat (I’m going to share a list of just 3 of them today, but there are many more!) is a huge part of reaching your goals.

Here are hat could actually be doing a lot more harm than good:

3 “Healthy” Foods You Shouldn’t Eat

1 – Sports drinks

These do have a place. If you are doing long (as in, over an hour) endurance-type workouts, they can be good to keep you fueled…

But for most people, doing shorter, higher-intensity-type workouts, they aren’t needed…

And typically, they are just made up of sugars, chemicals, and salt.

2 – Reduced fat peanut butter

Here’s another one a lot of people think is healthy.

But in reality, skimming on the fat will get you things like partially hydrogenated oils, added sugars, carbohydrates, and sodium. And real healthy fats are actually good for the body.

3 – Granola

Another one that seems like a “healthy snack”.

Not so true.

Many granolas contain way too much sugar and oils, and a TON of calories.

There you have just three healthy foods to avoid.

But there are a LOT more.

If you want to avoid eating the wrong foods that you might not even know are sabotaging your results, join our 14-day Holiday Shred Challenge here:

Do you get bruised wrists from your kettlebell workouts? Here’s how to fix it!

If you tend to end up with bruised wrists from your kettlebell workouts, today’s video is going to show you how to fix it!

One of the common exercises this happens with is the kettlebell clean. Two tips that are going to help:

1 – “Tame the Arc”

When the KB comes down, we want the “arc” that the ‘bell takes to be close to the body. If the kettlebell comes too far away from your body during the move, and then comes up and slams you in the arm as it flips around, you’re going to end up with bruised wrists. Instead, keep your elbow tight to the frame as you do your cleans.

2 – Lose the “Death Grip”

Another thing people do – in an effort to keep the KB from coming around and slamming the wrist – is to squeeze the KB really hard as it flips around the hand. Instead, what you want to think about is taking a loose grip, and then “punching” the hand through as it comes around the wrist.

Now, watching a video to help you with this is a great start. But even BETTER, is if we can help you live and in person.

We have a few spots left in our small group personal training beta group for the month of November, where we can give you hands-on instruction on using kettlebells safely and effectively.
