    Personal trainers everywhere are frustrated.

    During the 30 minutes you work out with them, they can help you get results. 

    But it's the other 23 hours and 30 minutes where you can erase all the progress you just made with them.

    Beth Colucci Fopianno is the General Manager and one of the Head Trainers for Pure Physique in Westchester County, NY. They have mastered the science of fitness and are able to get you phenomenal results in just 30 minutes, 2-4 times a week. 

    And, like every personal trainer in the world knows, what you eat after you work out dramatically affects your results. 

    Beth says most personal trainers agree, fitness is 20% exercise and 80% what you put in your body.

    But getting clients to eat right, when you're not there, is the hardest part. 

    Michael Carnevale, Fitness and Nutrition Pro, in the industry, for over 35 years and co-founder of Body Align, grew up in the New York City and started working for the legendary Jack LaLanne as an ab class trainer for hundreds of gym members as a 16-year-old high school kid.  

    "Jack used to coach us on the importance of fitness, nutrition, and personal wellness accountability. It's been an important part of every fitness and wellness business I started since.", he says.

    "The challenge is that until Live Green, healthy goods were expensive and hard to find", he continues. "And there is just so much fake news online, it's great to have a place where you can trust and learn from. We recommend Live Green because they make shopping for healthy goods affordable and easy."

    If you're a personal trainer and you'd like to know more about how Live Green can help you or your clients, subscribe to our newsletter (on this page) and reach out to one of our trusted Affiliates. 

    If you're looking to make living healthy more affordable and easy, visit our Green Wholesale Market and when you place an order we'll give you a free trial to our Membership.

    Some of Beth's recommendations include:

    • Clif Bar Protein Bar - Coconut Almond Chocolate (Save 33%): When in a pinch I like these bars because they are a complete whey, pea and brown rice protein source, free of sugar alcohols, low in natural sugar, and non-GMO.
    • Bragg Liquid Aminos (Save 31%): A healthier alternative to soy sauce, with the added benefit of Amino Acids, we like using Braggs in recipes.
    • Spectrum Organic Unrefined Coconut Oil (Save 38%): I like to choose unrefined coconut oil because it is less processed than refined oils. I use this not just for cooking, but also for home and beauty uses! 
    • Jason Powersmile All Natural Whitening Coq10 Tooth Gel (Save 38%): this chemical-free toothpaste polishes and cleanses using natural botanicals. Plus, they don’t test on animals 
    • Everyone Lotion - Lavender Aloe (Save 38%): I love how light this lotion feels and smells. It’s made from essential oils and plant extracts and is free of parabens, gluten, GMOs, and synthetic colors, dyes, and fragrances. It’s also cruelty-free.
