Skaters 

 Works: abs, glutes, shoulders, back & legs ~ A great move that can work your muscles hard, get your heart pumping & burn calories fast. A lighter plyometric move that is fun and challenging. (love this one & so do my clients)

  • Start this move standing with feet a little further than shoulder width apart bend knees slightly, slightly lean forward.
  • Cross your left leg behind your right leg while bending your right knee to 90 degrees. 
  • Extend right arm out to your side proceeding to swing your left arm across your right leg. 
  • Jump about 3 feet to the other side….jump again, this time to the other side and landing on the other foot. (you are just switching the position of your arms and legs)
  • Be sure to keep your abs tight, chin up and chest out.  
  • Continue the jumps side to side aiming for 15 to 20 reps on each side, if the move is causing an uneasy strain…slow down the movement and do not bend too far into the move. 
  • Want to challenge yourself more? Add a toe touch each time you leap to the other side by reaching down and touching your toe or in front of your toe (tap the floor if you are more flexible) 
  • Always see your doctor before starting an exercise program.

Gluten Free Berry Bread Pudding 
   
Treat friends & family (and yourself) to a dazzling desert. Bread pudding is one of my favorite treats to enjoy all season long. With the holiday season so close, sweets can be your number one enemy, don’t fall into the holiday fat trap! When there is fruit involved I feel so much better about eating desert! (don’t you?) This recipe is simply divine and fantastically friendly to your waist line. For all my gluten sensitive friends and family (Valerie for you!) Now if you do not have a gluten sensitivity or milk allergy (milk & I are not friends) substitute with day old french or light bread of your choosing & low-fat milk, regular cooking spray & honey. See how simple that was!       


Ingredients 
   3 eggs
1/2 cup sugar or substitute with Trulia 
1/4 tsp.salt
1 1/4 almond milk
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp.nutmeg
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
2 cups gluten free tapioca bread
1 cup of fresh or frozen berries, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries (prefer fresh) 
1 tbs of gluten free honey warmed and drizzled over each serving (yum)  


Directions
 Preheat your oven to 350.
Beat eggs in a large bowl until nice & frothy.
Now add the next five ingredients and mix well until blended. 
Then drop in bread cubes and fruit, let the mixture sit for about 15 minutes until the bread is well soaked. 
Spray an 8″ pan with (gluten-free) or regular non-stick spray if you do not have a gluten allergy & then spread mixture in pan.
Bake 35-45 minutes in a water bath until just set in the center
Serves 9 ~ Enjoy!
