I grew up on the Big Island of Hawaii, eating traditional Hawaiian food like poke and lomi lomi salmon. Here I give you my favorite recipes for both of these dishes and show you how to make them in my video.

I like to incorporate exercise moves like squats into my daily routine. This increases my total daily energy expenditure and makes the most of my time. I give a few suggestions in this week’s video, but there are literally endless ways to burn extra calories while going about your daily activities.

One-minute workouts are your go to if you’ve got limited time. If you're like most people, you run into days where you just don't hit your workout goals. Maybe you wanted to go for a run or do a 30-minute body weight exercise, but instead you had to help your kid with homework or got stuck in unusually bad traffic. It's okay!

I had so much fun—and got a great workout—filming this week’s video! It took me back to my days when I was ballin’ on a budget. I was young and broke, but I wanted to get stronger. So instead of paying for a monthly gym membership or expensive at-home exercise equipment, I got creative and made my own at-home gym.

Just because your favorite gym is closed doesn’t mean you have to quit working out during the pandemic. There are numerous body weight exercises that you can easily do in your living room or backyard. If you want to take it up a notch, buying a few pieces of affordable exercise equipment online will give you an additional range of possibilities.

The secret to my gluten-free chicken nugget recipe is to get your oil super hot before adding the breaded chicken. This ensures that the chicken comes out slightly browned and crispy, not soggy from extra oil being absorbed. I use avocado oil because it doesn’t smoke at high heat (like olive oil does), but you could use a variety of Paleo-friendly oils, including coconut oil, or even a mixture.

Learning to exercise with proper form is a lot like learning to meditate or do yoga. Having a beginner’s mind will do wonders for your basic fitness as you learn how to engage your muscles properly, including ones you may have never thought of before! Many of my clients—even the ones that have been working out a lot on their own—are surprised to discover what it really feels like to engage their abdominal core or drop their shoulders to properly engage the back and shoulder muscles.
