Jesenska Calabrese o tem, kako nas bo fitnes močnejši v življenju

“Anybody who says there's not enough time, I promise you, if you saw my schedule you would realize if it's really important to you, you will make the time to cook what you need to cook,” she explained. Autumn Calabrese leads her team in dumbbell lunges. What Are Her Go-To Snacks? “I sometimes make blueberry almond muffins with almond meal instead of white flour. Or, I will pack a chewy granola bar that I make,” Calabrese said. She mentioned that she's a fan of fruits and veggies, but she does not chop up her veggies and instead packs them whole. “Vegetables are super easy,” said Calabrese. “I don't cut my vegetables up ahead of time, because once you start cutting them the air and the oxygen will start to deplete them of their nutrients.” Calabrese described people laughing at her because she eats whole bell peppers by biting into them like an apple. "What's the difference if I slice it up or bite into it?" she asked, and pointed out: "At least I haven't cut it in advance and started to lose my nutrients that way." She said she loves seaweed snacks. "Instead of potato chips, I'll do the seaweed snacks that just have a little bit salt on them,” she said. “There's a million healthy choices out there if you're just willing to take time,” Calabrese explained. “A lot of times we don't want to give up our junk food, so we use the excuse that we're too busy, so that we can have it.” What Advice Does She Have for Someone Just Starting on a Fitness Journey? “Don't compare yourself to anybody else and where they're at in their journey,” Calabrese said. “It is about progress - it's not about perfection.” Check out Calabrese's Beachbody on Demand fitness program 80 Day Obsession, and see more of SWEET-LIFE's Stronger Women interviews.
