April 6th, 2015 by Debi Silber, The Mojo Coach

spring-clean-your-lifeWe’ve all heard of “spring cleaning,” which is a time to get rid of what you no longer need, declutter, change over your closets, and get ready for longer days, more sunshine and more opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors. While spring cleaning can be a great way to get your home in shape, it’s also a great time to tune up your life to feel healthier, more energetic and happier. Here are seven areas that may need your attention after a long winter:

1. Your eating plan: Short days, holidays, vacations and travel over the last few months may have left you with winter weight gain, raging sugar cravings and some unhealthy eating habits that need to go. Want to look and feel better ASAP? Ditch the sugar and refined foods and instead opt for whole, real, nutrient-dense foods. Skip “frankenfoods” that come from a factory for foods that come from the earth.

Creating Your Best Home Gym: How to Find the Right Equipment for Your Budget and Needs

July 3rd, 2012 by Debi Silber, The Mojo Coach

You had the best of intentions when joining the gym or fitness studio, but if you’re not using your membership, it may be because it’s not perfectly suited to your needs and lifestyle. Maybe the hours don’t work, there’s no babysitting, or you can’t hop on the machine you want when you want because it’s being used by someone else. It could be too far from your home or office, out of the way, or maybe it’s simply inconvenient!

If all of that sounds about right, then it may be time to consider creating your own perfect home gym based on your unique needs, budget, preferences, and lifestyle.  Continue reading “Creating Your Best Home Gym: How to Find the Right Equipment for Your Budget and Needs”
