ZESTY MEXICAN SOUP

This is a super easy, delicious soup that can easily be made vegetarian by substituting vegetable broth and adding more beans in place of the chicken.

-1 medium sweet onion, chopped
-4 large cloves of garlic, chopped
-1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pkg ground chicken
-32 oz chicken broth
-16oz jar chunky salsa
-1 can black beans, drained/rinsed
-1 small can of corn, drained
-1 small jar roasted red peppers, drained and chopped
-1 Tablespoon chili powder
-1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
-1 teaspoon dried cilantro or chopped fresh to taste
-salt and pepper to taste

Place olive oil, onion and garlic in large pot. Sauté over medium-low heat until translucent. Add ground chicken and cook while breaking up into small pieces.
Reduce heat to low. Add all other ingredients and mix well. Cook for about 15 minutes to allow flavors to combine.

Spice amounts can easily be adjusted to taste. ENJOY 😋 ... See more

Here is a FULL BODY CIRCUIT WORKOUT for ALL LEVELS that can be done at HOME.

Complete each exercise 1 time in a circuit format and repeat 2-3 times. I have listed the exercises below in text and also give more specific cues in this video. Please message me if you have any questions.

It is SO important to KEEP MOVING and to do whatever you can - it all counts 💪😅

1. PUSH UPS- Complete on the floor or on a raised surface such as a table or countertop. 10-15 reps.

2. SQUATS- Use just your body weight or add a dumbbell at chest (goblet squat) for an increased challenge. 10-15 reps.

3. 1 ARM DUMBBELL ROW- Use a dumbbell or weighted object. 10-15 reps each side.

4. SEATED KNEE LIFTS- Sit at edge of chair without touching back. 10-15 lifts each leg or with both legs together.

5. SUMO SQAUT- Hold stable object for support if needed. 10-15 reps.

Are you getting BORED yet!?! 🤪

Try THE TURKISH GET UP

Here is an exercise that you can try at home...it is a very functional exercise that you can do without weight (recommended if you are just starting), a light dumbbell (I used a 5lb) or a kettlebell (traditional method). It can be used as a warm up exercise or core/mobility drill.

A few KEY POINTS:
✅Keep shoulder down while holding arm up
✅Torso should remain tall and elongated (it is not a “crunch” movement.)
✅Get comfortable with each move before progressing to the next one.
✅Move as smoothly as possible with control.
✅ Practice on BOTH sides.

Enjoy the challenge 💪😅 ... See more

It’s a fact...New Year’s resolutions are TOUGH to keep!! Change it up for 2020- break down your “resolution” into smaller, REALISTIC goals that you WILL achieve. Even small steps can ultimately lead to success 👍 ... See more
