My Favorites this week

I have read so many great blog posts this week and wanted to share some that really stand out to me… I am always interested in workout advice and food tips… so here goes… hope you find something interesting here, too.

Here are my 7 favorite blog posts of the week:

• The Power of Play  from Weight Watchers U.S.A.

•  The 10 Biggest Fitness Myths from  Go Fit Gals 

• Gluten-Free Cheat Sheet from Abby at Back at Square Zero 

• Yoga For Runners  from Christine at Love, Life, Surf 

• Tips to Prevent Workout Injuries from Tamara at fitknitchick 

•  6 Nutrition Guidelines Whether You Want to Lose Weight or Not from Paige at Your Trainer Paige  

• Deconstructing Our Cravings from Laura at Mommy Run Fast

And I also want to share 2 books I am thoroughly enjoying right now.
 
The first is called  Ultimate Booty Workouts   and was written by Tamara Grand, who blogs at fitnknitchick.   There has been a lot of buzz around this book already and if you haven’t seen it yet, you really need to get your hands on it.  I know you can find it here on Amazon.  
 

 

Due to some exercise commitments that I had already taken on before I got my own copy of this book, I have not been able to start Tamara’s workouts… but I plan to do just that.  Great background information and detailed workouts, all with lovely and helpful illustrations.  It is an easy, interesting and informative read… now to just do it!

 

The other is a cookbook called Cooking With Coconut Oil  by Elizabeth Nyland, who blogs at Guilty Kitchen and it was was also just recently released.

 

 

Elizabeth gives lots of background about the health benefits of coconut oil and some great tips.  The recipes are ones you will actually make. I love this book.  You will too, I know it.  It is also available at Amazon and you can find it here.  It is also available for Kindle.

 

Both of these women live in my Canadian province, British Columbia.  I am so excited for their achievement of having published these books, and want them to be wildly successful so they will continue in their work and share more with all of us.

 
I am not an Amazon affiliate, I just wanted to make it easy for you to read about and find these books if you are interested. I am sure there are other sellers as well.
