February 2014 - Recipe of the Month!


Spaghetti Squash with tomato sauce

Squash:

·      2 large spaghetti squash (one squash per 2 servings)
·      olive oil
·      salt and pepper

Baking directions:

Preheat oven to 400°

Slice squash lengthwise in half and scoop out seeds. Season with olive oil, salt and pepper as desired. Place squash face down in a baking dish and cover with foil. Bake for about 20 minutes or until rind is soft. When finished, remove from oven and scrape the insides with a fork creating a spaghetti look.

While your squash is baking begin preparing the sauce. 



Sauce recipe: (Use our sauce recipe or one of your own if you'd prefer)

·      1 Large can crushed tomatoes (trying a low sodium option is always a good choice)
·      3 garlic cloves
·      1 large or two small zucchini
·      2-3 tablespoons of olive oil (or any oil of your choice)
·      1 cup water
·      1 small onion
·      1 tbs basil
·      1 tbs oregano

Directions:

Sautee chopped up onions and zucchini in olive oil over medium heat until soft. Then add garlic warm for another few minutes in the pan.  Add crushed tomatoes  and spices to the mixture and let it simmer on low for approximately 20 minutes.

When finished, poor sauce over spaghetti squash and serve. Season with parmesan cheese and add turkey meatballs for protein if desired!

January 2014 - Exercise of the Month!


Exercise of the Month

“The Lindsay” brought to you by Lindsay

It works your Glutes, your Hamstrings and your Core!

Follow these steps:

Start on your back with both knees bent, thrust hips upwards towards the ceiling pushing through your heels so your body is as flat as possible. Extend your arms above your head and one leg out straight.  This is your starting position.  Then you will raise your leg straight up in the air and lift your arms and chest up reaching for your toes at the same time.  Lower your arms and leg back down to the starting position. That is one rep! Follow these steps on the opposite leg. 

We suggest doing 10-15 reps per leg, 2-3 sets, 2-3 times a week

We hope you enjoy this months exercise, feel the burn!

Squat for Heart - Kick off Fundraiser Event!

You didn’t really think we would leave you hanging on Day 1 to do 94 squats alone did you?! At Fearless Fitness we are all about Team Work and we think there is no better way to kick off a challenge than squatting it out with your team, and then having a party! 

Our kick off event on July 26th, 2013 will include a heart healthy 30 minute bootcamp style workout at Monarch Park @ 7pm (where we will commence Day 1 of our 30 day challenge) followed by a party at The Sidewalk Café @ 8pm where there will be light food, drinks, raffles, prizes and inspiring stories.

JOIN US! Come support The Heart and Stroke Foundation, Squat for Heart and Fearless Fitness as we strive to spread awareness on a matter that is very close to our heart. We know you might want toned arms and glutes but at Fearless Fitness we want you to have a toned heart!
