About those 10 minutes...

Keep reading to see how a 10-minute workout can change your life -- or at least your week.

One of my favorite celebrity fashion stylists, June Ambrose, posted a video on YouTube of herself working out back in April. This author of the book, "Effortless Style," was not only accompanied by a trainer, Harold Palacios, but wearing STILETTOS. Yes, stilettos.

I love stilettos. My stiletto-filled past stems from strutting down runways in fashion shows and gracefully moving across stages in pageants, from ages 14 to 20. But, as a UF student, the opportunities to wear them are limited. So, I recently dug out a pair of black pumps from the back of my closet and pressed play.



The next day, I was soooooo sore. It was even hard to walk. It took me 10 minutes to get up one flight of stairs to my apartment.

The video is only a little over nine minutes. But, my muscles punished me for days.

What do you do for sore muscles? Needless to say, I didn't do that again.

This or That

Have you been wondering what to eat before, during and after your workout?

Have you been debating whether or not to drink that energy drink for an extra boost?

Have you been wondering if there is anything to eat while trying to lose weight other than Subway?

If you answered yes to any of the following questions, I can't help you.

But, while browsing Women's Health, I found something that can.

Check out this Fitness Food Face-Off. It really impressed me by weighing the convenience, effectiveness, taste, calories and cost of different food options for different parts of your day.

Of course, I mainly focused on the energy boost section because I find myself even waking up tired these days. Imagine my surprise that yogurt and an apple won over a Red Bull. They are more effective because of a slow-releasing energy, according to the Web site. The cost is about the same, but the challenge comes down to the crash.

Been there. Done that. No fun.

Check it out and you decide.
