Atlanta Personal Trainer giving Dark Chocolate Brownies and Red Wine to Clients and Community!!


Atlanta Personal Trainer giving Dark Chocolate Brownies and Red Wine for Heart Health month! 


Can you believe it!  A personal trainer feeding you dark chocolate brownies and dark chocolate brownieswine?  Well, this is your excuse from your fitness coach to eat dessert and drink wine!  I'm doing a Dark Chocolate and WineOPEN HOUSE February 29th at Fitness Together North Buckhead concentrating on Heart Health.  This is the catch, the brownies are made out of black beans, cooked oats, very low in sugar or none (sweetened with Stevia or an alternative sweetener), and ground flax seed.  But, not to worry, they will still taste great, yet be much healthier for you.  After all, it still has dark chocolate, espresso powder, and vanilla extract.

This is a great opportunity for you to come by!  We will provide information relating to your heart health, that includes the proper fitness approach to starting a cardio program and heart disease risks.  We'll even provide you with a 
6-Week cardiovascular program using Cardio Together to get you started on your own.  If you're already doing a cardio program, we can teach you how to make it better!cardio together

All the while, we'll feed you dark chocolate brownies (heart healthy fruit as well)!  We'll also provide wine (in moderation of course and you must be 21) or you can choose from non-alcoholic drinks available as well!  There will be no pressure to make a commitment to our services. Just have a good time!   

Why am I doing it?  Well, it is Heart Health Month!  I want and feel compelled to provide you with heart healthy information (like  other heart healthy foods), and inform you how to achieve heart healthy goals and other goals.

Why brownies and wine?

It's not just the flavonoids in dark chocolate, but other cardio-nutrient (I just came up with that) rich benefits it has.  The brownies also have oatmeal containing soluble fiber and the polyphenolic antioxidants in walnuts, as well as fatty acids. There are also fatty acids in the flax seed (Omega-3) and the fiber in black beans

They will have extra virgin olive oil that contributes to the 6 grams of fat, but most of it is polyunsaturated fats (the good for you kind).  Conversely, there is only 1 gram of saturated fat and no trans fat.  They will have 2 grams of fiber, 3 grams of protein (thank you black beans), less than 1 gram of sugar, and only 89 mg of sodium (or less when salt is not added).  The AHA recommends 1,500 mg or less sodium, especially with heart disease risks.  

red wineIn the red wine you have heard of the coveted antioxidant resveratrol, but it also has polyphenols which are antioxidants as well.  Polyphenols can lower cholesterol and blood pressure and contain anti-bacterial properties.  

So, that's my case for giving you brownies and wine and I'm sticking to it.  If I can't get you in to exercise, I will use life's indulgences to my advantage, yet maintain my integrity as I will feed you Heart Healthy food and give you wonderful cardiovascular fitness information.

If you plan to come, please let me know if I should expect you.  Of course, you can just drop by too.  I would love to meet you!

Date:  February 29th, Wednesday
Time: 4:30 to 9pm
Where:  Fitness Together North Buckhead,
