Forbes Riley: Businesswoman on Fire

2017-08-12T15:51:49-04:00Monday, February 8, 2016|

BUSINESSWOMAN ON FIRE INTERVIEW WITH FORBES RILEY Forbes Riley 1. Why did you choose to enter your present field? I wish I could say that I was always interested in helping others achieve their dreams, but that’s just not true. For the first 20 years of my career, it was all about me: being an actress, TV host and someone who people admired. Admittedly, I was very self-centered. Gradually, this began to change. I began to experience and overcome tragedies, which lead me to my current field. I began using the lessons that took me decades to acquire to help inspire others and get them fit, healthy and happy and realize that change can happen in an instant. This was a path that chose me. I began my career as an actress/TV host who earned a nice level of success, acting on several TV series like Fox’s “24”, “As the World Turns”, ABC’s “The Practice” and even the lead in Fox TV’s “Fashion House.” I also hosted ESPN’s X-Games, my own national talk show on TLC called “Essentials”, shows for Disney, Discovery, HGTV,ABC-Family and even a dog game show called “Zig & Zag” on Animal Planet. Even with all of [...]

Park City, Utah – New Years 2016

2017-08-12T15:51:49-04:00Saturday, January 30, 2016|

Had a GREAT Ski Trip with my twins - stayed at the Canyons Park City Fun on the slopes -- its cold in January, crisp and alive - we had so much fun!  Makenna focused on learning to snowboard, Ryker skied and I babies a bum knee! BEST SKI WORKOUT - WATCH THIS New Year's Eve 2016 SNOW WARS BEGIN!! The CRATER! One of the unique activities at our Midway Utah Resort is our one-of-a-kind Homestead Crater. The Crater is a geothermal spring, hidden within a 55-foot tall, beehive-shaped limestone rock located on the Homestead property. Over 10,000 years in the making, The Crater formed when melting snow on the Wasatch Mountains seeped deep within the earth. Two miles below the surface, the earth’s interior heated the water. As it percolated upward, it picked up minerals, which were then deposited on the surface — eventually forming the volcano-shaped limestone deposit called The Homestead [...]

New Years Resolutions 2016

2017-08-12T15:51:49-04:00Sunday, January 3, 2016|Tags: , , , |

Its new year 2016! New Year, healthier you New Year’s resolutions are a bit like babies: They’re fun to make but extremely difficult to maintain. Each January, roughly one in three Americans resolve to better themselves in some way but sadly a much smaller percentage of people actually make good on those resolutions. It's hard to keep up the enthusiasm months after you've swept up the confetti, but it's not impossible. This year, pick one of the following worthy resolutions, and stick with it. Here’s to your health! Lose weight The fact that this is perennially among the most popular resolutions suggests just how difficult it is to commit to. But you can succeed if you don’t expect overnight success.  A highly recommend starting a journal - for you food and your mental health - my favorite www.myeatjournal.com Quit smoking I watched both my parents die from smoking and it is mind bending to me that even though it clearly says on the package that smoking WILL cause cancer... we can't seem to fight the addiction.  My personal recommendation after you've tried will power and patches - is hypnosis -- I will have a new CD out and if you'd like more info [...]

The Power of Juicing

2017-08-12T15:51:49-04:00Friday, January 1, 2016|

There are many health benefits of drinking freshly juiced fruits and vegetables. To start it’s a dynamic way to add fresh nutrients that you normally wouldn’t eat because so many of use are eating processed foods and have less than ideal diets. Freshly squeezed fruit and vegetable juices retain most of the vitamins, minerals and plant chemicals (phytonutrients) that would be found in the whole versions of those foods. These nutrients can help protect against cardiovascular disease, cancer and various inflammatory diseases, like rheumatoid arthritis. My dear friend and fitness legend Jack Lalanne would always say cooking kills. What he was that cooking is a chemical process and understandably, it changes the molecular structure of the food, making it foreign to the body. If you don’t think this is likely, stick your hand in a pot of boiling water. When you pull it out, how does it look? Is it in better or worse condition? Cooking destroys the enzymes in food, but what are enzymes and why should you care? Enzymes are life. They are on an equal level with vitamins, minerals, fats, carbohydrates, proteins, and water. Without the presence of enzymes in food, the body is forced to rob [...]

Me and Bruce Jenner

2017-08-12T15:51:50-04:00Sunday, December 27, 2015|Tags: , , , |

In a place far away in a much simpler time - I had a chance to meet an American Hero, Olympic Decathlon Gold Medalist and superstar athlete.  His name was Bruce Jenner.  In light of all that's happening the WAS in very appropriate because apparently he is gone.  I am a bit sad about that.  Does that mean he died?  I support the new Caitlyn Jenner as she seems happy and fulfilling a lifelong dream to complete her/his identity.  My heart hurts though, it must have been a life full of serious inner turmoil and conflict and I just happy now it seems to be a positive path.  But where did Bruce go? I just came across my some old photos and wanted to share them.  Whenever a human reaches extraordinary heights and serves as an inspiration they should be honored... and in my own little way here's to Bruce!

  Thanksgiving 2015 - fun family food and fitness... don't blow what you know to be true - this is not your last meal - so enjoy the protein, go light on the stuffing and have a taste of dessert - not the whole pie! BUT first a few tips: 1. Be sure to eat slowly.  2. KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT YOUR LAST MEAL!! :) 3. Fill the INSIDE of your plate 1X  4. Protein is a fist size 5. Veggies are 2 -3 fists (umm, if they aren't loaded with marshmallows) 6. Don't snack on the appetizers 7. Drink 8-10oz of water 30 minutes BEFORE you eat! 8. Never eat without a napkin on your lap (translates to: don't eat standing up) 9. Stop before you've cleared that plate and ask yourself, "Am I still hungry?" 10. ENJOY the people. The LOVE. The Gratitude. That's truly what this holiday SEASON is all about.. not the food. 11. Take a tupperware container and pack some of this goodies you couldn't finish in your plate for another meal.

Men LOVE SpinGym

2017-08-12T15:51:50-04:00Wednesday, November 25, 2015|

This could be one of my FAVORITE reviews on SpinGym - found on Amazon A guy who loves the Forbes Riley Spin Gym!! By PMG on March 24, 2011 I have been using the Spin Gym this past month and have really taken to this little gadget with the big results. I have arthritis in my lower back so lifting big, bulky, heavy weights is not an option for me anymore (and I'm in my mid 30s). I have to be careful with what I do, and what I love about the Spin Gym is that I can still work my chest, back, arms, even abs and legs all with one functioning and functionable product. And guys....don't think you won't get an amazing workout!! You get so much bang for your buck with Spin Gym. You get two workout DVDs that creates variety and challenge. You can use it at your own pace. You can get up to 20 lbs. of resistance depending on the rate your spinning. My favorite exercises are "hugging a tree", "climbing a ladder", "arrow", and "lawnmower". When I do the abs workout, trying to do a crunch and keeping Spin Gym spinning is a challenge that my [...]

Lola Jeans Make you look SKINNY!

2017-08-12T15:51:50-04:00Tuesday, November 24, 2015|Tags: , , , , , , , , , , |

Magic - I put the jeans on and wow - I look like I lost 10 pounds!  Also at my age, I would never consider wearing "skinny" tight legged jeans -- well I have found my dream pair.  We had so much fun with these 4 ways stretched jeans that I didn't want to take them off and went to the website and bought 4 more in different cuts and of course added black! Also a shout out to the energetic and passionate Kasie Savage who made laugh out loud I almost split my seams!   Brothers David and Sam were never straight A students and therefore never got an allowance from their parents. They were left with no choice but to quit school at a young age and work at their father’s jeans store. Reluctant at first, they worked by their dad’s side and eventually fell in love with the fashion industry. Searching for a new challenge and with barely any experience in manufacturing and wholesaling, they started designing and producing jeans. Their goal: Produce the most comfortable yet fashionable women’s jeans. After years of trial and error, extensive investment, countless sleepless nights, Lola Jeans was finally born in [...]

BeBe & Bella Makes YOU look Glam!

  Power Among Sisters - I love Linda and Allison Krebs energy and passion - and they even had mom on the set.   Probiotic Skincare Benefits |BeBe & Bella.com As soon as you begin using BeBella, you’ll notice a change. Fine lines and wrinkles will begin to soften, dry skin will become deeply hydrated, inflammation and redness will appear diminished, and age spots will start to fade. Besides improving the look and feel of your skin, BeBella also boosts its natural defenses against environmental damage, one of the leading causes of premature aging. We based the BeBella regimen on the Japanese “layering method” of skincare. Japanese skincare often involves several steps - cleansing, toning, serum application, moisturizer and eye cream application. This is how BeBella is meant to be used. Though each product works on its own, they’re meant to be layered for maximum benefit. One product simply can’t do it all. What sets BeBella Apart? BeBella’s skincare secret is in its two patented anti-aging ingredients: Probiotic + Fissione Yeast Propagate Technology. Fissione is a skin-friendly yeast complex that encourages faster cell turnover, enhances the skin’s protective moisture barrier, and fights off free radicals. Lactobacillus casei Propagate Technology is [...]
