My new favorite snack!!!
| I just got home from teaching an intense Spin class at Burn 60 in Brentwood. I kept the door closed so it was super toasty in the room! Bikram Spin anyone??? We were all drenched once the class was over! And sooooo hungry! I had a huge craving for these carrot curry chips I just discovered at Whole Foods, called HuuRaw™ Chips. They only have 40 calories per serving!!! These dehydrated delights are thin and have 2 grams of fiber in every ounce and NO saturated fat, only 2.5 grams of good fats. Check out the ingredients: CARROTS, GERMINATED FLAXSEEDS, LIME JUICE, GROUND FLAXSEED, CHIA SEEDS, CURRY, and HIMALAYAN SALT. So tasty! I even added some sunflower seed butter (kinda tastes like peanut butter, only more fabulous) on top to make it more of a treat after my dinner. Give both of these new ideas a chance in your kitchen. You will be pleasantly surprised!!! |

Looking for a new esthetician and youthful skin?
I have to let you all in on a little secret: I've discovered an amazing esthetician, Tiffany O'Leary, right around the corner from me! I can literally walk to her place. She is located right in the heart of Brentwood. Not only does she give amazing facials, but she also does the best brow job I have ever experienced! I won't let anyone else touch my eyebrows! She ROCKS! She also has a DermaSweep machine (the one I've been RAVING about for the past couple months). It's a resurfacing system that helps to fight sun-damaged skin through exfoliation, circulation and rejuvenation. It takes years off your skin after a few treatments and you can see a difference after just one! Her schedule fills up FAST so email her (tiffanyolearyskincare@yahoo.com) ASAP to book an appointment for a facial or a serious eyebrow sculpting experience! AMAZING!!!

I Eat Chocolate EVERYDAY! :)
| Do you need an excuse to eat chocolate? Eat it to keep you young and healthy! Cocoa is unusually rich in flavanols that help preserve the healthy function of blood vessels. Maintaining youthful blood vessels lowers risk of high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, kidney disease and dementia. That's good enough for me! Make sure you are eating chocolate with a high cocoa content. I always buy 70-85%. Yummy! |

Sculpt a sprinter's 6 pack with this exercise!!!
Sprinter Tyson Gay is the fastest man on earth! His record for the 100-meter sprint is 9.84 seconds! He wants to run 9.74 in Beijing so he can break the world record. WOW!!! If you've trained with me before, you know how much emphasis I put on strengthening the core. Core strength is critical for peak performance in anything we do!
Master your midsection the way Gay does with this novel move: Lie on your back on a decline bench, holding a weight plate against your chest with both hands. Then lift your upper body off the bench about 6 inches. Holding this position, press the weight plate straight up from your chest, as if you're doing a bench press. Lower the weight (but not your torso) and repeat. As you push the weight, your abs have to contract even harder, says Gay. Do 12 presses, rest 1 minute, and repeat once or twice.
Be very mindful of your posture while doing this and maybe even have someone spot you. It would be more fun to do this with a workout buddy! |

Staying on track in VEGAS!
Happy August everyone! This is my favorite month of the year for quite a few reasons. To name just a couple: the weather is always perfect for outdoor training and my birthday is on August 6th! :) As a true Leo, I like to celebrate for the whole month. I have never once let anyone plan my birthday because I always beat everyone to the punch. One of my all time favorite bday celebrations was a SKYDIVING adventure with some of my closest girlfriends.
This year my boyfriend has insisted on planning everything for me to ensure that I have a week full of relaxation, fun, and surprises. He whisked me away to Las Vegas yesterday and we saw Jersey Boys at the Palazzo last night. Wow! As for staying on track...
- We are both total foodies, so we checked out a Brazilian/Japanese fusion restaurant called Samba Sushi. The most amazing dish that was on the menu was called: Quinotto, a creamy peruvian quinoa with barley, manchego cheese, wild mushroom, and fresh herbs.
- The calamari was the best I've EVER had! On the menu it's called: Chicharron de Calamar, a cornmeal crusted calamari with tomato, mint, plantain, and tamarind.
- Oh, yeah, the staying on track part... We split everything we ordered so we didn't get too full. We skipped dessert and went straight to TRYST and danced for a couple hours (one of our favorite things to do!). We burned off the hidden calories that always tend to add up in restaurants and had a wonderful evening.
- We're headed for the pool where I will undoubtedly swim tons of laps and keep my metabolism chargin' while I get a desert tan. I love multitasking!

Get UBER lean in my Spin class!
So most of you know that I am teaching "Spinning" again. I put the parenthesis around the word Spinning because I kind of don't really teach Spinning. I like to call it the Jenna Method.  I add a lot of upper body work and focus a lot on core strengthening stuff.  Get prepared to be completely DRENCHED by the time you walk out of my class.  I teach 3 times a week (Tuesday and Thursday at 6:15 pm at Burn 60, and 12 noon on Friday at Sports Club LA) in addition to the 6 Missions per week. You have tons of opportunities to get in the best shape of your life with me. What are you waiting for?! Classes and Missions are filling up! Agents Keri, Stephen, Jamila, and Jennifer are regulars in both my Spin classes and Missions. They are getting in wicked shape! |

Switch out your antiperspirant for something more natural!
I have found an incredible way to keep your breath and body fresh! It is called Body Mint, and it is a supplement made of chlorophyl, which is essentially an all-body deodorant in the form of a pill. It keeps you smelling and feeling great from the inside out! Not only does it eliminate morning breath, it will keep your body fresh even after an intense workout. This stuff rocks!
Go to their website to get your own bottle!!! Make sure to use the "JENNA" coupon to save $2 on your order. You will LOVE it! I'm totally hooked!!! |

New favorite restaurant!
| Juliano's on Broadway in Santa Monica is totally my new favorite eatery in LA! I will always be loyal to M Cafe, but Juliano's in Santa Monica is ridiculously delicious! And it's all RAW!!! I've tried Leaf Cuisine and liked that, but the dishes at Juliano's are 57 times tastier! Agent Morgan just blogged about it on Thursday. I had my first taste of it that same day (and went back again the next day for lunch!). I was on cloud 9 the whole time I was there! I could eat at Juliano's 1 to 3 times everyday and never think once about meat or cheese! They have this incredible bruschetta made on flax bread with a macadamia nut "mozzarella cheese" that makes me happy not to be a cheese eater anymore! I'm not missing out on anything! YUMMY!!! |

In the words of Agent Jamila: "You haven't truly "SPUN" if you've never taken Jenna's Spin class!" I can make anyone actually love Spinning! It's always a high energy class with kick ass tunes that'll make you drenched in your own sweat! You'll thank me when it's over! |

SUPERFOOD SNACKS!
| I've discovered delectably yummy superfood snacks! You can find them at Whole Foods in a cute little yellow bag. They are called: Chocolate GOJI Treats. They are filled with 100% organic and raw ingredients that'll make your taste buds have a dance party in your mouth! Some of the ingredients include: truly raw blue agave nectar (a raw, unprocessed, 100% pure plant sweetener! Low on the glycemic index), goji berries (a staple in Chinese medicine, high in immune building polysaccharides and antioxidants, they contain 21 trace minerals, 18 amino acids, vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, C, D, E, and iron! Whew!!!), raw chocolate (cacao is a super antioxidant source, with magnesium, flavanoids, & contains naturally occurring chemicals to make you feel fabulous and blissful!), maca root (its properties help activate energy, vitality and libido. Maca promotes healthy memory function and helps uplift your mood! Yay!), and so much more! Just 2 pieces can leave you feeling satiated and each one only has 50 calories! Instead of snacking on empty calories, get a bag today and experience my new favorite goody! |

Mix up your routine!
| I normally go Spinning on Wednesdays at Sports Club LA in between training clients and leading a Mission at the Santa Monica stairs. Today I swam laps instead. It felt so good to switch it up! Being consistent is important, but you never want to do the same kind of workout ALL the time. Avoid getting stuck in a boring plateau by trying a new kind of workout this week! Ever tried using kettlebells?! |

Don't DIET! Cleanse!!!
The word diet can be a four letter word! I don't believe in dieting, but I am a huge fan of cleansing. If you want to make a huge shift in your overall health and well being, give the 30 day Isagenix cleanse a shot. It's not a diet at all, but more like a nutrient flush for your body. I lost 2 inches around my waist in 12 days and my energy levels doubled. I have never slept more soundly in my life. My glucose levels are normal and, overall, I feel better than I have ever felt!!! That's why I am now on my 8th month of products for maintenance. How do you sign up? Click on the "HELP" tab at the bottom of my site and scroll down to the FAQ #10 to find out more! If you have any further questions, please email me at 57@jennaphillips.com. Create this week to be amazing!  |

What have you done for your skin lately?
Aside from wearing tons of sunblock, make sure you treat yourself to a little resurfacing! I have discovered a treatment called DermaSweep. I loved it so much that I plugged it on allure.com for the Summer Heat feature (coming soon). DermaSweep is a machine that you can find at your favorite day spa and dermatologist. It's a resurfacing system that helps to fight sun-damaged skin through exfoliation, circulation and rejuvenation. It takes years off your skin after a few treatments and you can see a difference after just one! DermaSweep is a 2-step process that mechanically removes "dead skin" which tends to shed slower as we age. Your skin is exfoliated and removed with a mini brush and vacuum. Then your skin is infused with the fabulous antioxidant Vitamin C which also helps to correct sun-damage. My skin always feels so hydrated and supercharged after a treatment. With this treatment I'm reversing and preventing the harmful effects of the sun. Gotta love it!  |

What you need to know about deodorant!!! Try Body Mint!
Did you know that underarms can absorb substances directly into the bloodstream? Most of the deodorants on the market are filled with chemicals and harsh ingredients. I am always a huge advocate of trying the more natural route, of course! There are so many natural deodorants which use herbs and salts that have been found to be very effective at reducing odor-causing bacteria. And they don't contain aluminum-based chemicals!
I have found an incredible way to keep your breath and body fresh! It is called Body Mint, and it is a supplement made of chlorophyl, which is essentially an all-body deodorant in the form of a pill. It keeps you smelling and feeling great from the inside out! Not only does it eliminate morning breath, it will keep your body fresh even after an intense workout. This stuff rocks!

Sun lovers can benefit from more Vitamin C!!!
| Just like other antioxidants, Vitamin C helps to protect the skin from cancer causing free radicals formed by excess exposure to the sun. It also helps to improve the production of collagen, keeping the skin smooth and firm. Try adding more Vitamin C rich foods into your diet like: bell peppers, strawberries, broccoli, and citrus fruits. |

I love oatmeal!
| I was craving one of my favorite breakfast spots after Mission Possible™ this morning. I had the omega-3 oatmeal with flax seeds and berries from Le Pain Quotidien. Hands down the best oatmeal I've ever had! I also had a side of egg whites. It's so important to have a balanced meal of protein, good fats, and low glycemic index carbs (ESPECIALLY after an intense workout!). Always make sure to get food in your stomach within an hour after you work out. Your body needs fuel! |
