Chili Rubbed Steak Tacos

By Jennifer Weland On May 8, 2013 · Add Comment
Maybe it’s that Cinco de Mayo was this past weekend. Or maybe it’s because I’ve been battling the stomach bug that’s been going around and all I can think about are the things that I can’t eat! Either way, I’ve been obsessing about really good, fresh Mexican food and when I saw this recipe, I [...]

Veggie Frittata

I’m in a little bit of a breakfast rut right now. Does that ever happen to you? There are probably three to five breakfast options that I typically rotate through and I’m getting a little tired of them. So, I went on the hunt for something new that’s healthy–and still delicious. I hit the jackpot [...]

Drinking fruits and veggies is an easy way to get in the nine servings (about 5 of veggies and 4 of fruit) that are recommended for adults each day. Here are three of my “go to” smoothie recipes that also give me plenty of protein by way of a protein powder, fiber and antioxidants. My [...]

Keeping it healthy when you’re traveling

By Jennifer Weland On April 16, 2013 · Add Comment
Nothing can throw you off of your food and exercise habits as when you are traveling. This was never so clear to me as the time I took a business trip to a town in central Ohio, near Akron. I’d been to Cleveland before—many times—and the hotel I stayed in had fairly decent food and [...]

Fettuccine with Edamame, Mint and Pecorino

By Jennifer Weland On April 14, 2013 · Add Comment
This light, beautiful looking pasta is a perfect dish for spring. The Pecorino Romano cheese is pure salty goodness and full of flavor, so a little goes a long way. If you can’t find Pecorino, swap in freshly grated Parmesan or a type of Gouda called Robusto. Add some chicken or lightly grilled shrimp to [...]

How healthy are you?

By Jennifer Weland On March 11, 2013 · Add Comment
  You look good. You feel good. So, you’re healthy, right? Maybe, maybe not. Unless you have real data at your fingertips, you don’t really have a meaningful way to understand how healthy you actually are. So, how do you get real data? Through a simple screening that measures your biometric markers (also called biometric [...]

Balsamic & Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower

By Jennifer Weland On February 24, 2013 · Add Comment
Roasting isn’t usually the first cooking method you think of for cauliflower but the results are really delicious. You will cut the florets into thick slices and toss them with extra-virgin olive oil and herbs. Wherever the flat surfaces come into contact with the hot roasting pan, you’ll see a deep browning occurs that results [...]

    • What People Are Saying …

      I have been so pleased and impressed with the connection to Jennifer. She’s extremely knowledgeable, personable, and downright genuine. She makes you feel comfortable and valued while imparting her words of wisdom and tools of the trade. I couldn’t be happier! Janie K
      The first strength session in the Challenge kicked my butt! Yay! I burned 328 calories in 40 minutes which I’ve never done at my gym, even in Les Mills classes! Suzi D.
      Finished my eight weeks with much sweat. I am amazed at the changes in my body — my weight, my strength, the way I look and how my clothes fit! Thank you, Jennifer Weland!! Suzi D.
      I’ve been lifting heavy weights for about 15 years and consider myself in good shape. So when Jennifer said, “Hey, come join my group class,” I thought, piece of cake. “Bring it,” I said. I shouldn’t have said those words. She brought it. BIG time. Pedro M.
      My workouts with Jennifer in group classes were great! She’s very focused on making sure everyone knows what to do, provides lots of encouragement, and her plan for the workout is extremely organized.  She is great at tailoring the workout to suit any issues you might have (my knees!), while making sure you’re still working hard. And you will work hard. Caroline L.
      Jennifer’s group class workouts are intense and require dedication and focus. We leave there feeling like we just did something awesome, and we’re proud of ourselves for doing it. The best part of the class is her encouragement. She’s really there right next to you, helping you not give up. When you’re trying to do push-ups after squats and jumping jacks and your arms are screaming “NO!!!”, Jennifer is right there doing push-ups next to you, telling you “YES. You can do it, Amy. Keep going.” Don’t try to hide in the back of the class (Casey P.!) cuz she will find you!… Read more Amy S.
      Thank you to Jennifer for reading me, adjusting and customizing my workouts vs. a one-size-fits-all approach. She took time to assess what my fitness levels were, my goals and if I had any injuries before creating a customized plan for me. During my workout Jennifer not only looked at my form but she adjusted my workout as we went along to ensure my workout was just right, I so appreciate that about her approach. Now I am well on my way to reaching my workout and health goals. Michele W.
      Jennifer gave me the confidence to start doing the strength exercises that were missing from my routine, as well as the motivation to increase my workouts. The workouts pushed me, but I knew Jennifer was in my corner rooting for me the whole way. By the end of the 8-Week Challenge I had not only lost weight, but was noticeably stronger. And I wasn’t the only one who noticed! Kristin T.
      Jennifer is just plain fantastic! She is knowledgeable, really supportive and knows how to get it done. She pushes but is really in tune to your needs and provides a well-rounded approach to reclaiming your overall fitness and health. Can’t say enough good things about her coaching and training! Susie T
      Whether it’s 30 minutes or an hour, Jennifer knows how to get the most out of a workout. I consider myself to be in good physical shape, but Jennifer’s workouts always challenge me and I’m always super sore the next day (in the good, ‘damn, I had a fab workout yesterday’ kind of way). Elise A.
