Saturday Morning Exercise Group

I think a daily exercise regimen that involves whole, natural movements, stretching, core training, with a dose of aerobics thrown in is the way to go. 

You use all of your muscles. It helps tighten everything up a bit. It gives you balance and it gives you energy. And you can do it in 45 minutes to an hour. 

For $5.00 this Saturday morning, Michelle Turner who is a certified personal trainer, can show you how you can accomplish this type of workout with minimal or no equipment. And you WILL feel like you worked out after training with her.

So, at 8:00am at Indian Shores Public Beach Access, Michelle will be holding a group class. All levels of fitness are welcome. You will learn a lot, have fun and get a great workout. Cost of the class is only $5.00 per person and each class will last approximately 45 minutes to an hour.

Call or text Michelle to RSVP. 727-418-9127



Make Your Own Vitamin Water


Make your own vitamin water. Add fruits instead of sugar for a natural sweetener for your H20. Cut the fruit into paper-thin slices or small chunks. Combine ingredients with water. Refrigerate 4-6 hours and serve over ice. So delicious and very refreshing!

Marketing Efforts = Fun!


As you all know from my recent marketing efforts, I have expanded my personal training business to include private studio training.  Yesterday I decided to take my marketing to the streets and visit with the local business owners that surround the fitness studio.  This was a time consuming process, but oh so worth it!  Everyone I talked to was very kind, some were a little surprised, and others were very open and shared great details about their business and wares. 

One such business owner was Gregg, owner of MingMing Tea.  Gregg and his wife MingMing have been in business since 2010.  These two met years ago when Gregg was an airline pilot and MingMing would fly to China to visit her family. MingMing’s family owns and operates a Tea Plantation and claim this plantation has been in their family for 300 years. 

If you are a tea connoisseur you have to stop by MingMing Tea. Heck, even if you aren’t a tea connoisseur you should stop in. 

This little store is packed with premium tea leaves hand picked by MingMing’s family.  The tea is fresh and organic.  They also offer a large selection of  Puer teas.  Peur tea leaves are hand picked then dried for years.  Gregg showed me a brick of Puer tea that was picked in 1953.  He even let me sample a Jasmine Peur Tea.  It tasted very nice, not bitter like some teas can be. Peur tea has been touted as a healthy tea for hundreds of years by the Chinese because it supports a healthy digestive system and studies have shown it can lower cholesterol and blood pressure. 

Both Gregg and MingMing are very health conscious.  The majority of their products are geared towards a healthy life style, weight loss, healthy immune systems and so on. 

While at the shop, Gregg let me taste a handful of Goji Berries too.  Yummy!

I learned so much and can honestly say I had fun!  I look forward to visiting MingMing Tea again soon.

If you want to broaden your horizons and tempt your taste buds with healthy organic teas, go to MingMing Tea at 7214 Central Ave in St. Petersburg.  Tell Gregg that Michelle sent you.
