Running

DO IT!!!

Dat Ass

Nothing looks better on a woman or a man then a well trained, tight behind. 

Here are a few of my favorite exercises that will help you achieve that elusive  "Onion Booty" (A butt that makes men cry)

1) Squats: Hands down squats are the best way to shape your butt. Be sure you have a spotter, and spend a little time with a trainer to teach you proper form. Choose a weight that allows you to do 10-15 reps. Do 3-5 sets to failure (as many reps as you can perform with proper form)

2) Lunges: Walking lunges are my second go-to drill for glute training. Find an open space in your gym, or go outdoors. Choose a weight that will allow you to perform a 90 second set with proper form. do 3-5 sets

3) Cycling/ spin: Hitting the weights will help shape and grow your glutes. If you want all your hard work to show you've gotta hit the cardio hard and often. Spin is the best way to burn a ton of calories without the impact of running. Find a good instructor (I know a guy) with great music who will keep you motivated for an hour

4) Capoeira: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capoeira Aside from the the culture, music, history, community, and fun of capoeira, it is also the perfect mix of aerobic and anaerobic movements that is essential  for molding a nice rotund booty. Capoeirista have the best booties around. Don't believe me? Find a class in you area and tell me i'm wrong :) Did I mention I played Capoeira for 7 years...ahem

 Go online and find a Capoeira class in your area. You will not regret it!

Product Placement

I eat whole raw foods as often as possible, but there are some products I use every once in a while to keep my and Penny's meals fun and tasty. A five year old can only eat so much quinoa before they revolt.

 Here are a few product worth giving a try:

Milk: http://www.8thcontinent.com/

Tofu: http://www.mytraderjoeslist.com/2009/11/high-protein-super-firm-tofu.html
Soy Chorizo: http://www.cooktj.com/index.php?q=product/soy-chorizo
Cheese: http://www.daiyafoods.com/
Sausage: http://www.fieldroast.com/

 There are also several vegan restaurant around San Diego that we  frequent:

1) Anyone who knows me knows that I get out  to Peoples Organic food Coop in OB http://obpeoplesfood.coop/  every chance I get. They've got the best vegan breakfast buffet: Biscuits and gravy, Tofu scramble, tempeh sausage, tons of fresh fruits, and crazy salads. Soooo good.

2) Another spot I hit up is Sipz http://www.sipz.com/. They do vegan sushi everyday after 5pm. They get really creative with the ingredients to make it look like real sushi: Yams instead if salmon, etc...very good. 

3) When I want something good and heavy i'll drop by Veg-n-out http://www.vegnout.com/ Their vegan chili cheese burger is THE BUSINESS! They serve everything with an organic side salad (different every time)or huge potato wedges.

 Every time we go to one of these places I tell Penny "Now you know this is sometimes food right? We don't eat this all the time" She says "Yes. I know, I know" Then begs me to go back for the next 4 days.
