With five tracks of workshops and seminars, over 100 health and fitness exhibitors and more protein bar samples than one fitness journalist can consume, covering the Fit Expo at the Pasadena Center was a massive undertaking for our editor-in-chief Janiss Garza. She wanted to focus on sections of the Expo that she thought would benefit All Spirit Fitness readers the most. Sometimes the choice was difficult - although she is a huge fan of fitness star Monica Brant, she knew most of you would be more interested in cooking healthy, delicious meals in 10 minutes, so Dr. Del Millers won out (his seminar was at the same time as Monica's - actually we think Janiss was just hungry). Although bodybuilders galore roamed the Center and muscles ruled the weekend (there was even a muscle car on display), Janiss passed up the 15th Annual Ironman Pro Bodybuilding Contest and NPC Women's Figure Competition in favor of the Yoga workshops held by YOGItimes magazine. She also got in a few other workouts, talked to some experts about their books and exercise videos, got a head massage with a Tingler, and got a sample Dermal-tone facelift (the exhibitor said that Janiss only needed it as a "preventative" treatment, so we must not be working her hard enough). She also tried out so many protein bars and shakes that she's now sworn off them. But the information she brought back was worth it all. Here's her diary of three full days of fitness, fun, and the best low carb chocolates ever.
