I wanted to share one of my favourite granola bar recipes with you. My kids love them and they are so healthy and most importantly you know what's gone in to them. They are even great for breakfast if you are on the run. I have been known to break them up and pour almond milk on them for the kids in the morning! Shh our secret...

As many of you know I do not eat dairy, gluten or refined sugars, so this recipe works out great and has loads of taste.

As I look back over the last year, it has been an interesting and challenging one for me. I started the summer of 2008 having just completed P90X & P90X+, I was feeling strong but a little injured from the repetitive strain on my body from all the training & teaching I was doing in and out of the gym, plus my nutrition program and working.

Break Through a Training Plateau

There comes a time when avid exercisers reach a point in
there routine where they are at a training plateau.  A
training plateau is when your work out is no longer
