HEALTHY RECIPE OF THE MONTH

African Spiced Turkey with

Avocado-Grapefruit Relish

Yield: 4 servings Ingredients

• 2 large seedless grapefruit

• 1 avocado, peeled, pitted and diced

• 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion

• 2 T chopped cilantro

• 1 T chopped mint

• 1 T red-wine vinegar

• 1 T honey

• 1/4 cup mild chili powder

• 1/2 tsp ground cloves

• 1/2 tsp ground allspice

• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 1 pound turkey cutlets or chicken breasts

• 2 tsp canola oil

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400

Remove the skin and cut the grapefruit segments from the surrounding membrane, letting them drop into a bowl. Add avocados, onions, cilantro, mint, vinegar and honey. Toss well to combine and set aside.

Stir together chili powder, cloves, allspice, cinnamon and salt in a shallow dish. Dredge turkey cutlets in the spice mixture, shaking off the excess.

Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cutlets and cook, shaking the pan, until they begin to brown on the outside, about 1 minute. Turn the cutlets over and transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake until the turkey is no longer pink in the center, 4 to 6 minutes.

Arrange the turkey cutlets on a platter or individual plates and spoon the avocado-grapefruit relish on top.

Personal Training Pays Off

“I was paired up with Julia in August 2010. I was

looking for a sports type training because I am an

avid skier and downhill mountain biker. To reach my

fitness goals my program included lots of legs, core,

and plyometric exercises. As I’ve gotten stronger my

workouts have become increasingly harder and more

physically demanding. It has gotten to a point where I

will egg Julia on to try and break me. All this hard

work on both Julia’s and my part has given me huge

gains in appearance, stamina, and strength. I have

had the best ski season ever. My legs are rock solid.

I am able to hike the ridgelines higher and faster than

ever before, and still have lots left in the tank for

powerful and controlled descents.

The mountain biking season is starting up and my

first trip was yesterday. I pedaled my 40lb free ride

bike with a single front sprocket up Mt Tzhouhalm in

full riding gear. I have never been able to do that. It is

great to apply all this hard work and see such

rewarding results. I am so motivated to keep going

and can’t wait to see what next year will bring. Thank

you Julia!” - Steve Hornick

Reality TV Dinner Another reason to cut down on tube time

Be grateful that your PVR lets you zip past the

commercials. The average food items you’re likely to

see advertised on TV can contain at least three days’

worth of fat and sugar, and far less than the

recommended daily servings of fruit, veggies and

dairy.

The chart below breaks down the nutritional

shortcomings of the foods most commonly promoted

on TV, compared to what you should be really having

each day.

One Serving Recommended

Servings Per Day

Servings Seen

In TV Ads

Sugar: 1 Tbsp 0.5 12.8

Fat: 1 Tbsp oil 0.5 10.4

Meat: 3 oz 2.5 3.2

Dairy: 1 cup milk 2.5 0.9

Veggies/Fruit: ½ cup

carrots or 1 med apple

Grains: 1 slice bread,

Step 360 Pro Introducing a NEW class with NEW equipment

By: Lisa Denomme, Programmer/Instructor

Take a Bosu and a traditional stepper - put them together

and you have a Step 360 Pro. Believe me; it’s not as easy

as it looks. It truly requires good focus and is as

challenging as any product I've ever been on.

The wobble of the two air chambers forces your core

muscles to engage, while the surface on top allows users'

feet to be level, which mimics the real world. The Step

360 Pro promotes good mechanics and body alignment

with its safe platform. It gives you just the right amount of

stability whether you are implementing balance postures

or full on vertical plyometrics! Throughout your workout

not only will you feel all of your little connective tissues

firing for maximum results, but more importantly, its

structure/base is so well designed that your footing

always feels secure.

There are notches along the edge to hook in resistance

bands and perform a range of strength-training moves,

from lateral raises to chest presses. Side hand grips make

push-ups pleasant but still not easy. And the top is slightly

cushioned, which makes it more comfortable.

The Step 360 is getting rave reviews in the US and Club

Phoenix is the first gym in Canada to launch the product

in a group exercise format.

Don’t miss our class launch on Saturday April 9 at 9am

and 10am. Space will be limited so get there early! We’ll

break the class down in true 360 style – 3 -minute sets

with 6 phases of training and 0 rest. Each 18-minute

series touches on flexibility, strength, balance and

explosive power and will leave you breathless, especially

if we end with alternating jumping lunges with a medicine

ball! See you there.

At the World Fitness

Conference in Los

Angeles, I was one of

the lucky ones to try

the new Step 360 Pro.

If the goal was to leave

participants pumped

and excited about a

new product – mission

accomplished!
