Instructing Classes at Burn60!
I teach 4 classes a week at a cardio/strength training studio in Brentwood, California and it is so much fun! It is 60 minutes of intense but reachable challenge! I teach a full body workout class consisting of 15 minutes on the treadmill-15 minutes strength circuits-15 minutes back on the treadmill-15 minutes strength circuits. The treadmill segments consist of variations of speeds and inclines creating an interval format. I always play great music that keeps you moving and energetic. The class can fill up to 24 people so you are not alone as you sweat and push yourself which naturally increases the adrenaline! Here are the days and times that I instruct classes, come check it out!
Tuesday- 4:15pm
Wednesday- 1pm
Thursday- 6am and 4:15pm

The Bow-Tie Band
The bow tie band is one of my favorite fitness tools because it can be used in several different ways to work different parts of the body! The resistance of the band creates a new way to work the muscles by using power and control in one move. In addition, it is small and light so you can take it anywhere you go, especially on business trips and traveling. Using the bow tie band, you will create firmer underarms, an etched upper back and a lifted chest, highlighted by defined shoulders! Check out the press link to see a workout that I created for SELF magazine using only the bow tie band!

Synergy Kombucha Tea
Kombucha is a handmade Chinese tea that is delicately cultured for 30 days. During this time, essential nutrients form like: Active Enzymes, Viable Probiotics, Amino Acids, Antioxidants, and Polyphenols.
I have to confess that my biggest vice is Diet Coke or Pepsi and Kombucha has played a huge role in helping reduce my intake of soda. Its fizzy consistency gives the same carbonated experience. I love the Passionberry Bliss, Divine Grape, and Strawberry flavors best! It can be found at Whole Foods, Wild Oats, the Co-Op, PCC and other natural markets. It is a great alternative to soda, coffee and other sugary drinks!
Kombucha supports:*
- Digestion
- Metabolism
- Appetite Control
- Immune System
- Weight Control
- Liver Function
- Body Alkalinity
- Anti-Aging
- Cell Integrity
- Healthy Skin and Hair

 The Mini-Band
Moves performed with the mini band are great for the hips and booty! My favorite moves include the lateral side step and the squat/straight leg combination! Feel it burn and watch your jeans start to fit better!
(You can find the mini-band at www.performbetter.com or contact me for one!)

Green Tea
I used to be a huge coffee fan, ordering a grande nonfat vanilla latte every day from Starbucks! Not only was that costing me a fortune, it was dehydrating and extra calories. When I switched to iced green tea with minimal sweetener, I felt more refreshed, energetic, and healthy. It can be brewed at home and served hot or over ice and if you buy it at Starbucks or any other coffee shop, it’s much cheaper than a lot of their items on the menu! The benefits of Green Tea are said to include:
- lowers your chances of heart disease and developing certain kinds of cancer
- helps keep your skin clear, making it healthier looking
- assists in weight loss
- slows the aging process
- aids your digestion
- encourages bowel regularity
- provides you with a mild stimulating effect without causing sleepless nights
Fitness Magazines!!
I love to sit down and read through health and fitness magazines and learn about a new workout move, healthy recipe, product, or ways to mix up my routine! I always finish feeling motivated and encouraged! Instead of reaching for the latest tabloid, get motivated by the knowledge of experts in the health and fitness field!
Promax Bars
I am hooked on these yummy bars! My favorite flavor is Cookies ‘n Cream and I eat one almost every day! Great tasting Promax Energy Bars are loaded with 20 grams of high quality Protein — more than most energy bars. They contain a unique Promax Proprietary Protein Blend, plus a Proprietary Energy Blend (a combination of energy producing carbohydrates). They’re also full of important vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It is a natural bar big enough to split up for snacking or eating on the go for breakfast with a piece of fruit. They also come in mini 70 calorie bars for snacking on the go and portion control!

The BOSU Ball
The BOSU Balance Trainer helps to strengthen and coordinate your structure including the muscles of your body that you don't see. The BOSU targets the core muscles of your body, those muscles around your abdominal and back area, helping you to not only gain strength, trim, and tone, but to help coordinate your entire body.
I love taking a simple exercise such as abdominal crunches or a plank and doing them on the BOSU for an extra burn! It can be incorporated into most circuit training routines for variety and extra challenges!
 Mona Vie
Mona Vie is a delicious and healthy blend of 19 body-beneficial fruits- including the Brazilian acai berry, one of nature’s top superfoods. Developed with the philosophy Balance-Variety-Moderation, this nourishing beverage delivers the essential phytonutrients and antioxidants your body needs to stay healthy. Mona Vie Active combines the nutritious blend of Mona Vie with plant derived glucosamine for healthy joint support and powerful antioxidant protection.
Designed for easy absorption in the body, just 2-4 ounces of Mona Vie per day is sufficient for results! I either drink it alone in shot form or add it to my daily smoothie! I have noticed a huge difference in my energy and how I feel in my daily living, during and after exercise, as well as improvement in my skin, nails, and hair!
