Why You Need to Get a Weighted Vest

April 11, 2024April 10, 2024 - Nina Bradley Clarke

And here is the best weighted vest to get

It’s being called the hottest fitness trend of 2024. Time to step up your walking game and add a twist to your routine with a weighted vest!

As a mother deeply committed to health and wellness, I can’t help but tell everyone how much I love my daily walks with my weighted vest. We recently talked all about this trend on my Podcast with the #1 Menopause Doctor in the country, Dr. Mary Claire Haver. Dr. Haver loves walking with her weighted vest too, and she even recommends wearing it around the house when you’re doing your daily household chores! Fun fact: this was the first Podcast I have ever recorded while wearing a weighted vest!

Walk This Way

March 25, 2023March 24, 2023 - Nina Bradley Clarke

My husband decided for Lent that he was going to walk 10K steps per day.

I decided over our recent vacation to Florida that I would join him in this mission. I have been making a big effort with strength training since I turned 50 and I am loving that so much. Now I’m adding the daily walks in as well for more movement. This isn’t a weight loss thing for me, it’s more about my mental health as well as a mood booster. Getting outside for some fresh air each day reduces my overall stress level.

Feel Good 2021 Check List

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welcome to the start of 2021! What a whirlwind life has been lately. Not much has really changed since the new year started even though we wish things had changed! We are still wearing masks and my kids are home this week for virtual learning.

I have a few things on my mind as we enter this new month and this new year. Before I rush into setting goals for 2021, I am actually just thinking….just sitting…just “being”. I am also actually really tired as I write this so I am taking the start of the new year slowly this time instead of my usual rushing into it. (Aren’t we all really tired these days?) Here is my list of ideas to help me feel good in 2021. I hope this list helps you and I also hope you will add to this list and share it with me too. Remember we are #BetterTogether!

The Healthy Reset I Needed

How I lost the “COVID-5” on ProLon Fast and kept it off

The last 9 or 10 months have been a struggle on so many fronts. It has also meant a lot of stress eating and drinking. So let’s just say my clothes started not to fit well anymore.

Q&A with Jeff Clarke: His Wellness Journey

September 5, 2017February 6, 2019 - Nina Bradley Clarke

Although summer has come to an end, I hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful, hot months with friends and family!

We had lots of beach time and lots of quality family time, but now we are ready for the school year to start (as I’m sure many of you are too).

Throughout the summer, people have been asking me and my husband how he is losing weight, and what exactly he is doing. He really does look so great, and I could not be prouder of him. That was the main reason for this blog post—to share his success, and to share what is working for him.

I hope this helps others on their own journey. Cheers!

What’s In My “Go” Bag: Everyday Essentials

September 30, 2016July 28, 2019 - Nina Bradley Clarke

We all have our everyday essentials that we cannot be without, no matter where we go—from parks and beaches to running errands and hanging out with friends. Whatever I do, I always keep my health and skin in mind, which is why I cannot be without sun protective gear such as sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses. It’s important to protect your skin no matter the season (I switch up my hats once the seasons change, of course!) Some friends have asked me what my favorite goodies are that I always carry around with me, so here’s a peek inside my bag.

Why Am I Blogging? The What, The Why and The Everything In Between

April 18, 2016July 28, 2019 - Nina Bradley Clarke

Hi! Thanks for stopping by. Life throws us a lot of curve balls—it’s how you react that matters. From a TV broadcasting career to getting married and having children, to taking a leap of faith and becoming my own boss, there’s a lot I’ve learned along the way. Not only that, but I find myself surrounded by people like you with similar experiences, individuals who are advice-seekers, individuals who are looking to connect and discuss the why, the how, and the everything in between. It was then I realized that my next mission would be to start blogging as a tool to share my knowledge, reveal my creations, help small businesses grow, bring awareness about fitness and health, and so much more. As always, I will be having fun and KEEPIN’ IT REAL! Here are my two biggest goals:

An Avocado a Day Keeps the Doctor Away

March 2, 2016July 28, 2019 - Nina Bradley Clarke

We all know that keeping fit and eating healthy in your 40s and beyond is harder than when we were in our 20s and maybe even 30s. Sometimes, it’s not until we reach our 40s that we start to realize the importance of health, especially in terms of the foods that go into our bodies and get absorbed into our systems. We become even more conscious than before, because let’s face it—we have family plus kids we want to be there for, for as long as possible.

You know that saying “an apple a day keeps the doctor away”? Well the same can be applied to avocados! My favorite superfood is the avocado, which is full of nutrients and health benefits for any age.

I recently learned from health and wellness genius, Dr. Frank Lipman, that we should all eat one avocado every day. I am hooked! If you’re looking for a food loaded with good fats, will keep you feeling fuller longer, and want something solid to help with weight-loss, I highly recommend avocados, and here’s why.
