Chocolate Covered Strawberries

You don’t have to shell out the big bucks at Godiva® to make it a romantic evening with your sweetie.  All you need is a microwave (or a double boiler), some dark chocolate (70% to 85% cacao solids), some strawberries, and some love. And if there’s a better way to show your love than with these two great sources of antioxidants, I’d like to hear it. In fact, if you’re single, this is a much better way to love yourself than with that pint of Ben and Jerry’s®

• 1 dark chocolate bar (3 oz.), 70% to 85% cacao solids(Not Cheap but worth it)
• 1 pint large strawberries (about a dozen)

Microwave chocolate in microwave-safe bowl, or melt in double boiler on stove.  Holding the strawberry by the stem, dip in melted chocolate to lightly coat. Set aside on plate or wax paper to cool.  When chocolate has hardened, serve (or if you can’t wait, dip and eat, and call it chocolate fondue!).  Serves 2.

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Nutritional information (per serving):

It’s weird because I don’t feel guilty when I know that I’m getting a good amount of protein and fiber out of chocolate covered strawberries.   Don’t eat these

This workout once again is a quick 40 minute workout and reminds me of Kenpo X.    You have 4 exercises in the video that get repeated in three challenging rounds.  Each round will get more challenging until the final round called the Spice round.    The warm up is usually the same as the other RevAbs video and lasts just over 3 minutes.

The four moves that you do are:

Martelo Combo, Capoiera Combo, Jumping Jacks, and Punch Combo

Martelo Combo in the first round is 3 minutes and like I said it reminds me of Kenpo X.  In this exercise your moving side to side doing knee ups, side kicks and booty bridges.  I like it because it tests your ability to be flexible around the groin area.

Capoiera Combo is next and confused the heck out of me for a while but it mainly consists of step backs, booty time, Skiba, and jumping jacks.  Its like five fast paced moves in 1 minute.  Fun but confusing, kind of like Ab Ripper X.

Jumping Jacks are next and I know what your thinking.  Big deal!  Well you do a quick 30 of them in 30seconds and that’s your break
