Ali Hall NTP, CPT: Beautycounter Favorites, strength workout, treadmill workout, and a few healthy recipes

Hi everyone! Thank you so much for reading and being patient with me and my blog posts. As many of you know I lost my mom about 3 months ago after a 2 year battle with breast cancer. I am now committed to growing my business and helping all of you become healthier.
In the last year I have been up to a few things. After a 4 month renovation we are back home and my

new studio is open for business and I started selling Beautycounter that I am now obsessed with! Click on the link if you want to shop. Here are a list of my TOP 5 favorite products:

Cleansing Balm (pictured left): this is good for removing make up, or sometimes if my skin is feeling dry I will use it to clean my face before I wash my face with my Rejuvenating face wash.
Baby Daily Protective Balm: I use this for diaper rash, dry spots, and to help with cradle cap.
Rejuvenating daily moisturizer: Not only does it have anti-aging properties, but I makes my skin feel like silk.
Charcoal Bar: This has helped me get rid of any acne spots and has helped balance my skin tone.
No 3 Balancing Facial Mask: This is a charcoal mask that I use whenever I feel like my skin needs to be detoxed or if I have a breakout I will use it on that specific area.

In my blog posts you will find strength and cardio workouts, nutrition tips and recipes, and my favorite Beautycounter products.

A whole lot of hamstrings and glute work in this workout, but I find the more glute and hamstring work I do the less I get injured with running. Make sure you have good form when doing all of these movements OR come see me and I can help you with that ;).

So this morning I knew I wanted to run 6 miles on the treadmill so I decided to do a ladder workout. When you do this on your own go at a speed that is comfortable for you. I am going to show you my speeds, but GO AT YOUR OWN PACE. No one is judging you, or at least I am not. I am just happy you are pushing yourself out of your comfort zone by trying something different. My advice is to start off slower than you think and then build each time you do it. Also, if you haven't run in a while try just going up the ladder
