Guide to Getting Fit: Exercise

Being healthy and happy is easy to come by when exercise is part of your day-to-day lifestyle! Enjoy special discounts on some of my favorite exercise products!!

New Year, New You! Magazine. I just released the most recent issue of my magazine, and this one is perfect for a new year! It is a digest-sized, 100-page issue with everything you need to get and stay fit in 2021. A 28-day workout plan, target-toning moves for your trouble spots, and so much more. Learn more about it today!

Shape, Strengthen and Sculpt Kit. I rolled out this kit last year, and was surprised at how much I used it. I loooove the combination of a stability ball and resistance bands – it is such a portable, no-impact way to really increase muscles and flatten those abs! Trust me – do a few sit ups using a ball, and you WILL feel the difference! It’s perfect for tackling menopause belly and getting a good stretching workout in. Right now, you can save $20 on this kit!

DeniseAustin.com Membership. Of course I have to include my memberships! After being at home so much the past year, I revisited my membership area and found it so fun to do my own workouts!! I decided to add some new workouts to the plan, and will be continuing to do so in 2021! It really has everything you need to stay focused and energized when it comes to working out – you can do on-demand workouts, follow a 10-Week plan to lose weight, do my mini-challenges when you want to mix things up… bottom line is it’s fun AND effective. Right now you can take advantage of special discounts on my monthly, 6-month and annual memberships – join for less than $2 a week!

EVER BETTER™ Air Walker. I just launched this new at-home cardio and toning system, and it’s amazing! It is a low-impact cardio machine that gives you a fat-burning workout while also target toning your legs, thighs, booty and more!! One thing that sets the EVER BETTER™ Air Walker apart is that it allows you to move your legs in numerous directions, so if your thighs are your trouble spot, this is the piece for you! Plus it’s fun, easy to fold up and store, and an entire workout can be completed in just 20 minutes! And right now you can save 20% OFF your EVER BETTER™ Air Walker!! Just use promo code: FIT2021

Walking Equipment. Walking is one of my favorite exercises – I love to get outdoors and walk whenever I can – here is what I take with me when I walk!

  • Skechers Walking Shoes. I find the fit of Skecher’s to be just right for me – they are supportive yet cushiony, so there’s less stress on my body as I walk. I have been wearing Skecher’s for years, because they are so comfy and supportive – important when you walk for fitness.
  • Water Bottle. I also take a bottle of water with me to help stay hydrated. A reusable bottle is more cost effective in the long run, and so much better for the environment. I take this bottle with me most everywhere I go – it makes sipping simple and fun!
  • Sunscreen. I look for sunscreen with at least 30 SPF to help to protect against harmful UV rays, which can lead to wrinkles, sun damage and even skin cancer. I really like the Sun Bum brand because in addition to sun protection, it is not harmful to the ocean, so if I am walking on the beach and dip my toes in, I know I’m not hurting sea life.
  • Sunglasses. A good pair helps shield your eyes from the sun, which can help to prevent damage to your vision. Also helpful when I get up and go for a morning walk – they hide dark circles!
  • Hat. Another way to protect your face and eyes from the sun. As a Dodger’s fan, I wear a Dodger’s hat when I walk! But you can pick your favorite team!!

 

Guide to Getting Fit: Nourishment

A healthy kitchen can be simple and delicious, with the right tools! Enjoy special discounts on some of my favorite nutrition  products, and create your own yummy, healthy kitchen!!

EVER BETTER™ Protein Bites. I was looking for a sweet snack that wouldn’t give me a sugar crash afterwards, and when I couldn’t find one that tasted good, I developed my own! These bites have 6 grams of protein in every serving, plus probiotics to help support immune and gut health! These bites include allulose – a natural sugar found in figs – that is low in carbs but high in flavor, so these bites are not only low carb, but keto friendly, too. They are my go-to snack and I love them as a pre-workout bite or an afternoon snack to tide me over. Right now save 20% on one purchase of these tasty bites with promo code: DENISE20!

Rejuvenate. This has become my daily staple – I drink one every morning to help promote healthy muscles, which is important to me as I get older. Healthy, strong muscles are vital to aging well – they help to promote posture and balance, help you to continue to lift and lower things with ease, and really give you a sense of empowerment – all great things!! As a brand ambassador for Rejuvenate, I am happy to offer 20% off when you use the code DENISE21.*

NutriBullet. I love to eat a lot of fresh fruits and veggies – they are filled with fiber, nutrients and vitamins to help keep me healthy and feeling great! This little machine makes it super easy to get more produce into my life, and takes up almost no space at all. 

Garlic press. Garlic is a go-to in my kitchen – it adds tons of flavor to foods, is inexpensive and keeps in the pantry for a while, and is healthy, too – it helps lower cholesterol, can reduce blood pressure, it’s a good source of vitamins C and B6, and can even help boost your immune system! Since most of the health benefits happen when you chop, slice or crush garlic and expose it to the air, I keep a garlic press handy and do this as one of the first steps when cooking. So much more efficient than chopping, in my opinion!

Ayesha Curry Sauce Pot. Full disclaimer: Ayesha Curry is a family friend, but even if I didn’t know her, I would recommend her cookware! I love to cook, and her pots and pans have made cooking at home this past year so much more enjoyable. Everything is easy to use and clean, so well made, and inspires me to try new recipes! You can buy a set or individual pieces to add to your kitchen. I have used this pot to make some of the hearty soup recipes from my plan, including two of my favorites, Kale and White Bean Soup and Red Lentil Soup.

Moccamaster Coffee Maker. This was a splurge, but I once I factored in that I was using this coffee maker daily – and not spending the money on to-go coffee – it was worth every penny. Hot, delicious coffee every time! The health benefits of coffee are numerous, but I like it because it gives me an extra boost of energy in the morning, so I can accomplish everything I set my mind and body to that day!

Wildcrafter Botanicals Coffee. And my go-to coffee these days is Wildcrafter. I love how they incorporate blends of herbs into the bags or cups, with specific benefits such as a more focused mind or immune boosting herbs like Astragalus. A great way to boost energy with added health benefits. Right now, you can save 25% off sitewide with code: DENISE25

Lettuce Grow Farm Stand. I was gifted this amazing garden tower by a neighbor who started the company, and it was such a game changer in the past year. It sits on my balcony and takes up such little space (since it’s vertical), allowing me to grow my own lettuce, herbs and veggies! It’s so easy to use, and every season I can change up what I grow. Plus – fresh produce just a few steps away!

HALO Sport Drink. Staying hydrated can be challenging, especially if you work out a lot like I do. My go-to drink is HALO organic sport drink – it tastes so good (I love the pink lemonade flavor), is low in sugar, and includes vital electrolytes that help me stay hydrated!

I hope these product suggestions help YOU lead a life filled with fun fitness, delicious foods, and a positive, wonderful life in 2021!

Let’s get fitter, together – inside and out,

Denise
