It gives me good variety of skill and mental stimulation.FMM: What is your most important preventative tip of a work out? And why?SAH: Take the time for myofascial release, warm up, and clear your mind: foam roll, do a light stretch, warm up either through cardio of dynamic movements before lifting anything heavy. Don%u2019t rush the process, you perform better with a clear focused mind and a limber warm body with good blood flow; a warm up gives you time to prepare your body and your mind. I would rather get a solid effective 45 minutes, than a stiff slow 60 minutes. Work smarter, not harder.FMM: When did you realize that fitness could become a career for you?SAH: Fitness is my passion and that is how I knew it would be my career. If you do what you love, you never work a day in your life. Where there is passion there is genuine enthusiasm and a thirst to do your best. As Steve Jobs said, %u201cThe only way to do great work is to love what you do.%u201dFMM: Do you have any nutritional tips or healthy food ideas for our readers who love sugar way too much?SAH: One of the reasons we crave food is for the serotonin it releases, particularly high fat and high carbohydrate foods release the most serotonin and make us feel happy. Vitamin C, B-Complex Vitamins and Zinc help with Serotonin production so that you won%u2019t feel as much craving for emotional eating. Lemon water is my go to Vitamin C boost to help curb my cravings. Remember that sudden hunger is often more emotional seeking instant gratification, but gradual hunger is typically physical hunger that you should fulfill with more slow release foods to sustain you like complex carbs and good fats such as quinoa or almonds. Can%u2019t kick the craving after a nice glass of lemon water? Add stevia and cinnamon to egg whites and it tastes like bread-less %u201cFrench toast%u201d.For everything Sarah:@SarahAinsleyHwww.facebook.com/sarahainsleyhwww.twitter.com/sarahainsleyhwww.instagram.com/sarahainsleyh
