August Fitness Challenges - End of Summer Exercises - In & Outdoors

Summer is coming to an end. Schools about to begin and the cold weather will take a toll on our lives. I hope you've been taking advantage of these past few months. If not, it is not too late to start an end of summer exercise routine. Research says that exercising outdoors has numerous benefits over indoor workouts. This is true for both children and adults. Yet, living in a tropical region or certain illnesses can make these scorching summer months feel impossible to workout in, therefore having an indoor exercise plan - like the August Fitness Challenges below - are helpful. This is especially true for those of us who can't exercise outside because of weather and other personal reasons.

Other Indoor & Outdoor Workouts For Summer

Fitness Gym (Indoor)

Depending on your budget and motivation, joining a YMCA / YWCA fitness center or traditional gym can be the best option. Not only can you choose exercise options according to your interests, but you can also get support from a fitness professional in their staff. Gold's Gym and Planet Fitness are two gyms where you can get a free workout routine set up, so you know what you're doing each time you enter the gym. Gold's Gym also has classes included in their monthly membership fee. YouFit and other gyms offer free assessments, free exercise classes and reduced cost personal training sessions (small group or individual) based on your budget. Some gyms have pools, tracks, childcare and extended hours to accommodate your lifestyle needs. Memberships start at about $10 a month; some offer special plans and SilverSneakers classes for seniors.

* You can attend fitness classes outside in the park or at the beach, too! Check up a website called Meetup.com or search Google for outdoor yoga, zumba, fitness classes.

Fitness Zones & Trails (Outdoor)

Whether you want to "mix it up" during the week or feel like taking advantage of good weather, some parks have outdoor exercise machines and / or trails. Here in Florida it is not uncommon to find outdoor weight machines, ellipticals, stationary bikes, calisthenics equipment, obstacle courses and unique trails. It was like that in one of my favorite parks in the north, too, so do a Google search to see if you can find a local park that lets you work out in nature. It can actually be a lot of fun for the kids, too.

Walk, Jog, Run (Indoor & Outdoor)

Walking is something that you can do anywhere; even in the comfort of your own home via Leslie Sansone videos or a treadmill. Mall Walking is an AMAZING way to stay cool and get more fit in the summer. Jogging and Running can be just as convenient depending on location and your health. Whatever you choose, if you want the best way to add some cardio to the August Fitness Challenges above, walking or running it is the easiest!

Swimming & Water Sports (Indoor / Outdoor)

Some local recreation centers, YWCAs and parks have both indoor and outdoor pools for free swim, laps and classes. Gyms usually have indoor pools where you can swim laps or take structured classes in water aerobics, strength training or yoga. Classes are usually hosted in the shallow end for the comfort of those who cannot swim, so don't avoid if you want to try water fitness classes. Swimming is the perfect option for people that want to exercise outside in the summer.

In addition to swimming, there are plenty of water sports that increase heart rate and keep you cool, too. Whether water skiing, kayaking, canoeing, surfing, parasailing, body boarding, rowing, pool fitness class, water polo, rugby, basketball and so on ... You can jump in a lake or the ocean to partake in challenging and refreshing water sports.

Bicycling / Spinning (Indoor & Outdoor)

Biking is another excellent indoor and outdoor sport. Stationary bikes have come a long way over the years. You can sit high or low; bike for exercise alone or join a spinning class if you choose. On the other hand, there is a range of beach cruisers to mountain bikes or hybrids, you have so many choices of cycles based on your local terrain. Plus, biking is a form of fitness that you can do with friends or family to encourage one another to remain active. 👍

Come join our group to share what you're doing and get some motivation from our online friends!

Don't forget to check out our ongoing 90 Day Challenge for weight loss support, too!

Summer To Fall Fitness Routine
Whether you choose to just stick with the August Fitness Challenges or supplement with some of these other ideas, you still have plenty of warm weather time to get into a workout routine that can carry over into the fall season.

Happy August to you 💗

Here are the May Fitness Challenge Calendars and some other tips to help with your health and weight loss goals.

REMEMBER: This month is about MORE than just dropping a quick 20 pounds for swimwear and vacation. It's about starting a personal development routine that you can stick with for the rest of the year ... Let's commit to getting healthier once and for all!!!

May Fitness Challenge Calendars


2017 May Fitness Challenge Calendar for Beginners. Getting swimsuit ready for summer with exercise, healthy food, Skinny Fiber or Skinny Body Max!

The Beginner Challenge exercises are great for getting back into the swing of things at both a beginner or advanced fitness levels.

Most importantly, do whatever it takes to make these workouts fun for you. Invite a friend or family to exercise with you; do them outside on nice days or while at the gym; stay hydrated and eat like you know that you can't out eat a bad diet!

Summer Weight Loss Tips & Health Goals


EXERCISE DAILY - YOUR WAY!

... and, if these exercise calendars are not enough for your summer body toning needs - OR - if you want to mix it up for more fun, make sure to join our weight loss support group and download one of the images with personal fitness challenges and tips.

Make a commitment to become more active in your daily life with more things you REALLY enjoy doing like swimming, bowling, golfing, basketball and so on. Choose activities that you used to do before your weight, finances, health, lifestyle ... insecurities set in and made you stop doing what you enjoyed each day; even if that was simply walking to the store and back.

One thing to keep in mind is to pace yourself for the long term commitment and another thing is to remind yourself that each physically active change you make back to your "old self" will help with pain, atrophy, embarrassment, muscle strengthening, body toning, sleep, energy, and so on. Exercise even helps with happiness, so work on increasing your happiness each day!


DRINK WATER ... THEN DRINK MORE WATER!

We are mostly made of water and our bodies use a lot of it for daily functions. For this reason, we have to make sure that we are drinking enough water to hydrate our cells, tissue and organs, as well as to keep potassium levels up each day. It is not as simple as grabbing a glass of water every so often ... We need to make a conscious effort to drink enough water for our body weight each day. This is especially important for those who are pregnant or nursing, eat a lot of salt, workout regularly, certain health conditions, live in warmer climates and for everyone in the hot summer months when we lose even more water from our bodies. You can get water from the fruits and vegetables you eat, but tracking clean pure water is the best way to guarantee that you are getting enough each day. See the chart below to learn how much water to drink:



NOT DRINKING ENOUGH WATER can make you gain weight and feel sick. Dehydration causes fatigue, digestive issues, kidney problems, bladder issues, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, asthma, allergies and affect your skin. Dehydration can occur without your even noticing, but usually a dry mouth and sluggish energy are the two easiest ways to determine that you need to drink more water. Prefer other drinks? Try these tips for hydration if you hate to drink water!


EAT IN SEASON THIS SPRING & SUMMER

Eating for weight loss and health doesn't have to be such a complicating thing! Do your best to eat healthy by watching portions and choosing quality of food. This time of year is the easiest because the fresh harvests are plentiful ... PLUS, you can give your budget a break by eating according to season (foods being harvested over the next few months). Follow the harvests and plan for what you'll buy locally at flea markets and stands, or watch store flyers for other deals. If some fruits and vegetables you can even freeze some of the affordable fruits and veggies for later when you can't get the seasonal fresh vegetables and fruits. Here 's a great websites that help you track which local fruits and vegetables are in season: http://www.simplesteps.org/eat-local ...

Eating more leafy green vegetables and low sugar fruits in combination with lean proteins and real whole grains can make a world of difference in your Weight Loss Challenge results.


GET QUALITY SLEEP - MAKE IT A PRIORITY!

Do you get enough sleep? Have a sleep schedule or do you simply sleep when tired? Are your days and nights mixed up because of work? Do you wake feeling refreshed or not? Can you tell what quality of sleep you're having each night? These are some of the questions you need to ask yourself if you notice dark circles, feel like you need to nap or think that you probably have broken sleep at night. Getting enough quality sleep should be naturally easy, but circumstances or genetics could be interfering with yours and this might be part of why you have gained weight, or struggle with losing weight in general. Pin pointing any issue(s) should be a priority for you. If you know that you have a problem sleeping simple changes like wearing noise cancelling earbuds, a sleep mask or using room darkening window fixtures can help. Exercise, proper water intake and diet also contribute to whether you sleep successfully or not; especially how close to bedtime you partake in any of those activities. There are also natural over the counter supplements like Melatonin that help with better sleep and more. Maybe discuss your sleep issues with your doctor, so that you can have one less deterrent to health.


TAKE A VACATION / LOWER STRESS

Lastly, STRESS contributes to at least 10 correctable issues like obesity, heart attacks, strokes, depression ... Include managing your stress as part of your personal fitness challenge this year. Work on the inside and outside for that perfect summer bod ... Take as much time to take care of you as possible. Therapy or Life Coach can be helpful ... If you've been working hard, then maybe consider using accumulated vacation days for some actual time off. CLICK HERE for more useful tips on how to live a more stress free life for your health.

Hope this post helps with motivation!

Top 8 Reasons Why You're Not Losing Weight - Some Not Your Fault

Why can't I lose weight? Here are the Top 8 Reasons Why You're Not Losing Weight

The science of weight loss is supposed to be easy. Calories In (what you eat) vs Calories Burned (activity) is what works for most of us, as long as we stay committed. Lack of commitment is one of the major reasons why so many people struggle to lose weight regardless of eating plan and exercise routine. They don't stick with the time and effort needed because they want instant results and fast weight loss. IF THIS IS YOU ... jump back on the bandwagon and keep trying to lose weight. Slow and steady is not failure; health experts confirm that just 1 to 2 pounds a week is the goal.

On the other hand, if you've been failing to lose weight consistently or failing to lose weight at all, it feels like there's no reason to go on. You may have even experienced weight gain as your body adjusts or because of yo yo dieting. If this is you, here are the top 8 reasons why you're not losing weight (split into 2 categories) and suggestions for the problems.

Lack Of Healthy Lifestyle Changes


You might be tired of hearing these first 3 tips, but they REALLY are major reasons why you are not losing weight and won't keep the weight off long term.

#1 - Packaged Foods / Fast Foods / Chemical Foods

If you buy foods that say "low fat", "healthy", "made with real fruit", "all natural", "multigrain", "sugar free", "no sugar added", and so on, it is very likely that you are being tricked by the manufacturers because they replace what is supposedly removed with other unhealthy ingredients to balance the flavor and make us more addicted to the "bad foods". Sometimes you have to watch the "organic" labels to make sure the non-GMO and USDA Organic labels are there, too. The goal is to eat real whole foods that include fresh vegetables and fruits, lean meats and seafood, sprouted whole grains and nuts, as well as low sugar dairy products like yogurt and cheese.

#2 - Sugary Drinks

Many people count the calories in food, but forget to include calories from drinks. One small glass of juice or can of cola can contain as many calories as a packet of crisps, chips or small chocolate bar. Sugary drinks have been linked to obesity and other health problems, making them a self sabotaging choice for most people, particularly when trying to lose weight. Drinking more water, green tea and occasional black coffee can help. You can add stevia to tea and coffee for sweetness instead of sugar. A lot of people ask if they can add flavor drops to their water or drink crystal light because they hate to drink water. Again, drinking calories, as well as chemical foods, have their disadvantages to weight loss and health. It is better to drink lemon water or other infused water recipes. The rule of thumb with healthy lifestyle changes and weight loss is to avoid foods that come packaged and with added chemicals.

#3 - Self Control = Self Love

As mentioned above, it takes time and effort to lose weight. The commitment must be there in order to accomplish your weight loss goals. If you are not losing weight because of inconsistency and lack of self control, then maybe you should start with looking in the mirror and equating it with SELF LOVE. Examples of sticking to what you need to do to lose weight and need to make healthy lifestyle changes include Meal Planning, Portion Control / Calorie Counting, Exercise Schedule, Sleep Schedule, Stress Control and Personal Time for reflection, hygiene, doctor, dentist, not smoking, personal care ... Taking the time to care about yourself in all areas of life is part of the self control you need. This is self love and as long as you stick with it you can accomplish long term weight loss goals and live a genuinely healthy lifestyle.

Reasons That Are Not Your Fault ...


There are several reasons why you're struggling with weight loss and they may not all be your fault, though some are correctable.

#4 - Medical Conditions

Some medical conditions can make it difficult to lose weight and, in some cases, even cause weight gain. Hormone imbalances, hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) and PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) are among the most common health problems leading to weight gain.

#5 - Medication

Medication is another common reason for difficulties when losing weight. Contraceptive pills, insulin, corticosteroids and several other medications can cause weight gain and fluid retention. Switching to a different treatment or making a few lifestyle modifications can help in most cases.

#6 - Weight Loss Plateau

Dieters often hit a plateau after the initial weight loss. This plateau is usually triggered when the body becomes used to a lower calorie intake and responds by conserving fat stores. To push through the plateau, try varying your calorie intake every day. If you are restricting the amount of food you eat, it's important to have a break and eat normal portions at least once a week. Come add me as a friend @ http://www.facebook.com/flwahm and then send me a message to join our group for support and tips on how to get through a weight loss plateau.

#7 - Insomnia and Poor Sleep

Studies have shown that lack of sleep, poor quality sleep and tension can all make it more difficult to lose weight. Learning to relax and getting a good night's sleep can make a big difference to weight loss efforts. Meditation, mindfulness, visualization and relaxation exercises can all aid restful sleep.

#8 - Muscle Building

When starting a new exercise routine for weight loss, many people concentrate on cardio workouts like walking, running, elliptical and aerobics - which is AWESOME - but, developing new muscle tissue is just as important, if not more, even if you may notice an initial increase in weight. The weight gain is only temporary and the extra muscle will help to burn fat more effectively. The goal is to build muscle and burn fat; both, not one or the other. You can find videos for weight training at your level or you can join a gym and use the circuit machines to build muscle, as well as enjoy classes and utilize the cardio exercise machines.

Not Losing Weight & Need Help?


Weight loss can stall for a variety of reasons and most people experience a temporary plateau after a few weeks of steady weight loss. If you are unable to lose weight, despite eating a healthy diet and taking regular exercise, ask your doctor for advice.

Check out the nutritional information for these weight loss supplements for when you have your appointment. If your doctor agrees, you can take Skinny Fiber or one of the other options, then they can help for vitamins, appetite control, inflammation, protein, etc.

Hope this post has helped you gain perspective on whether you have roadblocks to clear so that you can start losing weight and feeling your best again. Please let me know what you think in the comments section below!

How to Lose 30 Pounds in 6 Months or Less - The Easy Plan

Weight loss takes small changes that add up to your goal. Lose 30 pounds in 3, 4, 5 or 6 months. Depends on your body and you!

The hardest parts of losing weight is learning what changes you need to make and how to turn them into habits that you can stick with for a lifetime. Once you have that down, weight loss is easy and you can lose 30 pound in 6 months or less by just making some basic food and lifestyle changes.

► Read that first paragraph again! ... It is a key to long term weight loss. ◄

Weight loss does not have to be difficult. In fact, losing weight can be easy if you have the right plan and that doesn't have to mean taking up a trendy diet plan like Atkins, Weight Watchers, etc. So, don't overcomplicate it. Keep it simple and focus on realistic goals. Losing 30 pounds in six months is a great example of a realistic. To achieve this, you only need to eliminate 500 calories per day.  Here are your options ...

How To Lose 30 Pounds In 6 Months

Here's the easy plan for losing weight :)

Choose one of the following and stick with it for 6 months:

► Eat 250 less calories and burn 250 more calories each day with a light workout.

OR ...

► Eat 500 less calories a day.

OR ...

► Burn 500 more calories a day.

Just one of those changes will save you 3500 calories a week and have you on your way to losing 30 pounds in 6 months depending on whether you stick to this formula or choose to do a bit more.

3500 calories less = 1 pound weight loss

There are 26 weeks in 6 months, so one pound weight loss a week is 26 pounds lost, but the reality is that you will lose 30 pounds or more. When you first start eating less and exercising, you tend to lose more. Average weight loss is 1 to 2 pounds per week. You are going to burn more that 250 calories sometimes, etc.

Eating less and exercising helps with weight loss; Skinny Fiber and Skinny Body Max are appetite suppressants with healthy ingredients that help, too!

Want To Lose 30 Pounds in Less Than 6 Months?

To lose more weight in a shorter amount of time, reduce your food by 500 calories and exercise. Keep in mind not to go below 1200 to 1500 calories a day NO MATTER what your starting weight is right now. Also, if you mix up your exercise then you can actually lose more weight. For example, building muscle help you get into burn mode so mix that with different types of cardio and you can become a burning machine. Also, you can choose a different type of exercise that burns more calories like elliptical, biking, etc., to mix up the calorie burn and not let your body get stuck on any one exercise routine.

Start Eating 250 to 500 Less Calories A Day

Stop Eating The Extra Calories

Reducing your calorie intake is easy, and you don't have to give up the foods you love.

So, if you replace one meal each day with a healthy alternative, you can reach your weight loss goals while still being able to eat your favorite foods. However, it is important to keep track of your calorie intake and watch your white carbs. If you don't keep track of your calorie intake, you could accidentally go over your limit. Closely monitoring your calorie intake will ensure you get the results you want over the next 6 months.

Read - How To Eat 250 to 500 Less Calories A Day

Diet and Exercise will help you lose weight faster than if you just took Skinny Body Max or Skinny Fiber alone!
How To Burn 250 to 500 More Calories A Day
Strength Training & Cardio Burns The Calories, Fat, Stress

In addition to reducing your calorie intake, you also want to implement cardio training into your daily routine. You won't need to dedicate a significant amount of time to your cardio workout. In fact, you can maintain your weight loss goals with only 30 minutes of cardio each day. By jogging for 30 minutes, you will burn approximately 250 calories. But make sure you keep track of your workouts. There are plenty of fitness apps you can download to your phone. They are useful for goal tracking and staying motivated. They can keep track of the amount of time spent on each workout and how many calories were burned.

For example, if you are 200 pounds and want to burn 250 calories by walking:

Race walking
Time (mins): 30
Calories Burned: 293.93

Walking, 2.0 mph, slow pace
Time (mins): 30
Calories Burned: 114.31

Walking, 3.0 mph, moderate pace, walking dog
Time (mins): 30
Calories Burned: 157.85

Walking, 3.5 mph, uphill
Time (mins): 30
Calories Burned: 272.16

Walking, 4.0 mph, very brisk pace
Time (mins): 30
Calories Burned: 179.63

Walking, carrying infant or 15-lb load
Time (mins): 30
Calories Burned: 157.85

Walking, grass track
Time (mins): 30
Calories Burned: 225.89

Walking, upstairs / downstairs without stopping
Time (mins): 30
Calories Burned: 361.97

You can use this FITNESS CALCULATOR to enter your weight, how long you want to exercise and check the calories burned for any type of exercise, housework or other activities.
Dedication & How To Keep On Track
This weight loss plan is simple and easy to implement. However, it is still important to have dedication. Without dedication, it is easy to lose track of your goals. Losing track of your goals usually starts with skipping one or two days of your workout. This gets you into the habit of not staying on task. Each day you skip makes it more likely you will skip another day. Eventually, this can lead to giving up on your weight loss plan.  However, staying dedicated will develop persistence to stay on task. You have to simply keep focused on what is important to you. Keep your goals in mind at all times. The more you keep your goals in mind, the easier it becomes to stick to your weight loss plan and get the results you want.
Lose 30 pounds in 6 months or less with small decrease in calories, increase exercise and Skinny Fiber or Skinny Body Max.

If you struggle with overeating, SKINNY FIBER and SKINNY BODY MAX are excellent to help control your appetite, block / burn fat, aid in nutritional absorption so that your body craves less because it is getting the proper nutrients and also helps with proper digestion.

Your weight loss does not have to be complicated or overwhelming. With the right plan, weight loss becomes easy and natural. Setting small, realistic goals is the key to success. Small goals don't require significant lifestyle changes, but they keep you on track long enough to see results. By implementing a light workout and making a slight change to your diet, you can easily lose 30 pounds in 6 months.



Blessings To You,

What Is A Burpee? Benefits of Burpees, How To Do A Burpee & Variations

What is a Burpee?  This is a fun exercise that you can do just about anywhere that you have the space. You can make them your full workout or you can do a burpee in between your weight lifting, planks, other cardio, etc. It is important to learn the proper form and know your body's capabilities before even trying to do a burpee routine.

Why do we burpee? The benefit of burpees is a full body workout that is both cardiovascular exercise and strength training. So, burpees burn a lot of calories in a short amount of time and burn the body fat, too.

How To Do A Burpee?


The Adapted / Modified Burpee videos below will show you how to do easier and / or less strenuous versions of them, or you can challenge yourself with the Sumo Burpee routine in the 2nd video (add a push up in between or do them super fast). If you are not flexible or out of shape, or you have had a mild to severe injury, you should ask your doctor before doing these and / or use your better judgement before jumping into a burpee workout routine.


How To Do The Perfect Burpee - This guy does an awesome job of showing you how to do a regular burpee and burpees with push ups in between. Doesn't he make it look so easy? It might be for you; give it a try!

Sumo Burpee Exercise

This is how to do the Sumo Burpee that we do sometimes in our Fitness Challenges. If you can't do a burpee, then replace with one of the modified burpee exercises below or do squats, plank or other helpful exercise.

Burpee Variations, Adapted / Modified Burpees Exercise


Check out these videos for burpee variations that are easier for beginners, out of shape or injury.

Step Out Burpees are easier because you adapt the speed and jumping. It is good for people who need to start off a little more controlled because of flexibility or coordination issues, or have a mild injury. Slow this down how you need; just make sure the format is right to avoid any injury.


Wall Burpees are an extremely low impact and easier way to do burpees if you cannot jump, get down on the ground or have injury. This could be good for seniors just getting back into a routine.

Benefits of Burpees / Burpee Exercise Routine
Here's an awesome chart for how to do burpees:

The No Junk Food Challenge | Clean Eating Goals

The No Junk Food Challenge can help you lose 1 to 2 pounds a week.
The goal of the No Junk Food Challenge is to cut the processed refined sugars from your diet.

This is a great way to cleanse your body from all of the junk you ate over the holidays and get back on a healthy track. This food change can help kick start your 1 to 2 pounds a week weight loss (or more).
--- Wouldn't that be awesome!

NOTE: You can take this No Junk Food Challenge even further by giving up white rice and noodles, too!!!

How can I give up junk food, white bread and even the rice / noodles?

Do the best you can and take it one day at a time as not to overwhelm yourself.

Just get all the junk out of your house; buy, cook and eat whole foods!

Ask your family for support! They can do the challenge with you or at least agree to eat their junk food out of the house and far away from you while you are making this major effort.

Use the snacking time you're giving up to exercise:

January Exercise Calendar, 2016 New Year Fitness Challenge
CLICK HERE to print this calendar as a guide!

There are just 3 exercises built upon each day:

Jumping Jacks

Sumo Burpees


Side Plank


Here's the deal ... Do what you can from this list. If you can't jump, then either do a modified jumping jack or skip the jumping jacks and burpees; just do the planks each day and take a walk. If you can't side plank then do a regular or modified plank. Do give yourself any excuse not to exercise with us each day even if you need to do chair exercises as your challenge instead. The goal is to plug in and exercise with all of us each day, so that you can become more strong, toned, energetic and feel great! Exercise helps us with weight loss and mobility as we age, too. So, please make sure to print, bookmark or share this page, so that you have this info when you work out.

You can do this January Fitness Challenge with or without the Skinny Fiber & Skinny Body Max Weight Loss Challenge; just make sure to join the group:

Plank Exercises - Videos for Modified, Basic, Elbow & Side Planks

Want a full body workout in just a few seconds? How about tightening up your core / mid section without having to do crunches and use ab weight machines all of the time? These are the main benefits of plank exercises, so check out the videos below to learn more:

Traditional Plank - How To Do The Perfect Plank



This is how to do the perfect forearm plank (easier). She makes it look simple? Meanwhile, this bent arm plank becomes just as challenging as any other as time goes on.


This is the perfect straight arm plank. Similar to push up formation except you just hold the position for the designated amount of seconds or minutes.

Plank w/ Knees Down VS Regular Hover Plank




These two videos show modified plank styles where your arms are half down as normal, but your knees are down to make it a little easier on you. 1/2 way through both videos shows the second plank options where the legs are straight and the feet on the toes like a traditional plank.



Side Plank Options
Side planking is much more challenging and fun. Here are some examples:


Side Plank w/ One Knee Down


Side Plank On Toes

There are so many different ways to plank from these main formats. You can lift arms and legs in rotation, open and close your legs like jumping jacks, reverse your body, use a ball, etc. However you choose to plank, just use correct form and stick with it for strength and toning.

Plank & Power Fitness Challenge Details

If you haven't been following along, here are the details of the fitness challenge. We are planking and exercising to better health, so we can shape up NOT bulk up this winter. 

PLANKING:

Each day, I post the plank position examples and the number of seconds to hold the pose. There are easy to advanced plank pose options, so that we all can work on strengthening our arms, core, etc. no matter what fitness level.

POWER FITNESS: 

Every other day I remind about the power fitness workout. The power exercises include 20 minutes of your choice of walking, running, treadmill, elliptical, stepper, arc, biking or whatever cardio exercise you prefer except more powerful than you typically do if you already workout each week. It can be a little more powerful or a lot (depending on your fitness level) and just getting up and exercising 20 minutes every other day if you are just getting started.

GIFTS / PRIZES:

One participant is selected for a gift or prize (However you want to consider it) at random each week as motivation for the members of our group and Skinny Fiber customers that participate in the fitness challenge.  The first week's selection included everyone that checked in; the rest of the weeks include the names for everyone who participates at least 3 times a week.

* Not for distributors, representatives or consultants from health & wellness companies.

Winners Of The 10,000 Steps & Strength Training Fitness Challenge

Here's a list of the winners from the 10,000 Steps A Day Challenge w/ Strength Training. Several of the participants kept up for the whole challenge and it was fun! Of course the prizes and weight loss goals were awesome incentives to stay on track through the four weeks. I hope that everyone continued to step away throughout the month of June, too. I am planning for another fitness challenge soon, so make sure to subscribe to this blog using the form on the right hand side of the page. Scroll down to see the box and enter your info!

Winners For The 10K Steps A Day Challenge!

As previously mentioned, all of the 10,000 Steps A Day challenge winners were randomly selected as seen in the first blog post w/ our week 1 winner. The prizes were either a bottle of Skinny Fiber, a bottle of Ageless Anti-Aging Serum or a $30 Amazon Gift Card. The members checked in each week by posting their stats in our Weight Loss Group. My toddler helped select a winner each week except for the one where he did not feel cooperative :)

Here are the pictures with the challenge winner's names and prizes selected:

Week 1 winner for the 10,000 Steps A Day Fitness Challenge!
JOAN W was the winner for week 1. She had already ordered her Skinny Fiber, therefore chose to have a bottle of our other product - Ageless Anti-Aging Serum - as her prize! Joan excitedly reached her 10,000 steps a day goal!

Week 2 winner for the 10,000 Steps A Day Challenge
KARLA K won the fitness challenge on week 2 and chose an Amazon gift card as her prize, so that she could buy compression socks for running (great choice, right?) since she had already ordered and taking Skinny Fiber before we started the challenge.

3rd week winner for the strength training and 10k steps challenge.
KRISTY B was our week 3 winner. She has been working on her weight loss for quite a while now and is almost at her goal weight (Very proud of her! She such an inspiration.). Kristy chose the Amazon gift card as her prize to buy a mat or resistant bands to help increase her strength training! FYI: Kristy exceeded 10,000 steps a day consistently throughout the challenge.

Winner for week 4 was Kristy!
KARLA K won again on week 4 - Lucky Girl! She chose the Amazon gift card and mentioned that she was up to an impressive 20,000 steps a day by week 4.

I want to extend a HUGE CONGRATS to everyone who participated in the 10,000 Steps A Day Challenge and did their Strength Training at least 3 times a week. You are all winners to our weight loss support group family! Thank you so much for participating ...

Also, a shout out to my little guy for helping with the challenge! It was a learning experience for him and rewarding to us as a family for him to learn the importance of what I do to help people AND in his striving for at least 10,000 steps a day with me :) He did at least a mile each time and then rode in his stroller while I walked, so I am extremely proud of him.

Why Fitness Challenges Are Important To Us

Although many people take Skinny Fiber and lose weight without working out at all, I ALWAYS ENCOURAGE customers and weight loss support group to exercise at least 3 times a week. Exercise helps with weight loss, muscles, body toning, cardiovascular health, mood, energy, aging and so much more. It really is a necessity in our lives regardless of where we are at in our weight loss and / or health journey. It should become a consistent healthy lifestyle change during and after your weight loss challenge!

Please feel free to add me as a friend or follow me on Facebook for weight loss tips, recipes, fun and friendly support!

May Fitness Challenge - 10,000 Steps A Day + Strength Training

May Fitness Challenge with Lea Hunt. 10,000 Steps A Day and Tank Top Arms Strength Training @ Skinny Fiber Weight Loss Support.

As promised, we are kicking off the month with a new fitness challenge ...

Our May Fitness Challenge is two fold: The first part embraces a 10,000 Steps A Day goal as discussed in our weight loss support group. Strength Training is the second part of our fitness challenge. Between the cardio from the 10,000 steps a day and the strength training workouts, we are going to to turn our bodies in to toned, fat burning, machines as muscle building goes hand in hand with your weight loss, fitness and health goals.

MAKE SURE TO READ THIS ENTIRE POST TO QUALIFY & SURPRISE!!!

Please check with your doctor before joining in the May Fitness Challenge, and make sure to stretch before and after each workout! Enjoy and Check In each week at our group!

*******************************************************************************

May Fitness Challenge - How To Get Started!


PART 1 - 10,000 STEPS A DAY

It is said that most people walk 1000 steps (sedentary) to 5000 steps (moderately active) a day with 2000 to 3000 steps a day being the average. That would be a mile or two depending on how brisk you walk, jog or run and how long your walking stride. This would mean that 10,000 steps would equal to about 4 to 5 miles depending on your height, speed and the length of your steps. You can use this info as an estimate for how many steps while exercising until you get a pedometer or fitness tracker (see information below).

Our fitness and health goals:

  • The goal of the May Fitness Challenge is to see how many steps you currently walk, jog or run and improve upon that each day / week until you are at 10,000 steps or more daily. Our group is going to keep track of steps with a pedometer, fitness tracker or mobile app and share the results weekly in our weight loss support group (Click this link and login to Facebook. Click JOIN on the group page) and also add me as a friend at Facebook to follow along there, too.

  • You can record your steps at the end of the day on a calendar (manually) or by using an app that pulls that info from your fitness tracker - or you manual enter it. Check in at our weight loss support group once a week (Fridays are check in days and I will announce random winner on Sunday) to share your steps for the week and any other progress you feel comfortable sharing.

  • We are going to wear fitness shoes to protect our bodies and feet.

  • We are going to wear comfortable clothing each day because ill fitting clothes cause stress to the body.

  • We are going to be consistent in tracking and doing this each day, and completely honest.

  • All daily activities and workout types will count, but WALKING is the basic / standard for tracking, so don't stress yourself out if just getting started in working out again. You don't have to do advanced workouts - or - if you are more experienced, log in more than 10k steps a day!

  • You will need hand weights. One, two, three, four or five pound weights are plenty. You don't want them too heavy unless you have exceeded these weights. Just start low and work your way up because our focus is on more REPS not more weight. You can actually use food cans or water bottles if you don't have hand weights.

  • Most importantly, we need to eat healthy and drink water (1/2 our weight in ounces of water) each day to achieve weight loss, too!

PART 2 - STRENGTH TRAINING

The second part of this challenge is to include strength training - at least 3 times a week - to build muscle, tone and become a fat burning babe. You will get your cardiovascular workout from walking, running or other activities you do. You can do the strength training with the free videos I share with you --- you can weight train at the gym / class --- you can strength train or do yoga through a DVD at home --- Just as long as you include this as part of your May Fitness Challenge. Here are a few that I found for tank top arms and done standing (Make sure to stretch your muscles for a few minutes before starting your upper body workout).

TANK TOP ARMS - PART 1 - 10 MINUTE WORKOUT


TANK TOP ARMS - PART 2 - 10 MINUTE WORKOUT


What Do I Need For The 10,000 Steps A Day Challenge?


Comfortable Pair of Shoes - Preferably New & Specific

Two things you may not know is that fitness shoes break down every couple of months (even if they still look new) and fitness shoes should be specific to workouts. If you wear your shoes often, then you should invest in a new pair every 3 to 4 months. You should buy the type of shoes appropriate for the type of exercise(s) you do and your gym shoes should be worn for workouts only. For example, if you take Zumba, the shoes you wear for Zumba should not be the shoes you wear all day every day. The shoes you wear for Spinning class should be specific to that class; you take them off when you are done and put on your daily walking shoes.  In the case of 10,000 STEPS A DAY, you are going to wear your shoes all day long unless you are at a more advanced fitness level where you are going to run 5 miles or more at one time. With this in mind, you need to invest in a new pair of walking shoes, running shoes or cross trainers.  I know this can become expensive to buy a new pair of fitness shoes every couple of months, but is best because the fitness shoes should provide proper support and do not after a couple of months of continual usage because they break down inside. If this poses a strain on your budget, go to Payless, Walmart, shop sales or frequent your favorite discount outlet to find the best deal on a well fitted pair of walking shoes, running or cross trainers.  *** The alternative is to buy knitted ankle supports and / or new supportive shoe inserts until you can buy the shoes you want! ***

Clothing - Wear More Comfortable Clothing

Whether for work or workout, you need to be super conscious of the comfort of your clothing. Ill-fitting clothes actually cause stress that can affect weight loss and sleep. Keep it cute, light weight and fashionable for work, travel and daily activities, but COMFORT is key!

Pedometer , Fitness Tracker or Phone App

You are going to need to track your steps by using a pedometer, fitness tracker or phone app. Since you will need to track steps throughout the day, it is recommended not to use the phone app unless you are able to have your phone in hand or strapped to you all day, and it is an app that tracks accurately. It is easier to use a wearable pedometer or fitness tracker. *** If you don't have a pedometer or fitness tracker TODAY, just use your phone app or estimate how many steps you've taken based on the chart below until you get one, but keep in mind the chart is on average size so if you are overweight you may take less steps per minutes. On the other hand and on a more positive note, if you are overweight and walk briskly, you may burn more calories per active time than someone that is at ideal weight. Still, it is best to have a pedometer or fitness device that tracks heart rate, steps, miles, calories ...

Just keep these details in mind while choosing a fitness tracker, pedometer or app:

Check the Official Company Websites as well as Review Sites:
- Accuracy is one of the most important details when buying a pedometer, fitness tracker or using a phone app to track fitness. Look at the reviews to determine how accurate the pedometer, phone appp or fitness tracker is because that is most important. Use sites like Amazon, Walmart or Google searches to find the reviews (looking at the lowest as well as the highest), to determine the effectiveness of the tool. Do this even if you are comparing the pedometer, fitness tracker or app on their "official" sites.

Battery Type and Life
- Does it need recharged or does it use a battery? How long does it last. This is extremely important when choosing which fitness tracker is best for you especially since you are tracking all day.

Does it track heart rate, calories, distance, steps. etc.
- The more it does, the better you are going to learn how active you are and how to improve, as well as to keep yourself in a healthy heart range. Since interval walking can be highly effective for weight loss, having a heart tracker can help with achieving balance while interval walking.

Is it water resistant, waterproof or just splash safe?
- This would make a difference for those who will walk / run in the rain - or - just in daily activity where you may not have time to take a wrist tracker off like washing hands, doing dishes, getting caught in the rain, etc. Water Resistant would work in the shower, washing hands, etc. Being completely waterproof is extremely important if you like to swim or plan to do some water fitness to break up the walking, though still want to accurately track while in the water. Splash Resistant provides less protection on a daily basis.

Some other features that you might find important:
- Does it measure your sleep time and quality of sleep?
- Is it as light or heavy as you feel comfortable?
- Does it come in your preferred color?
- Which tracking app / software does it integrate with? Some us their own and some use myfitnesspal or other common services.

Ready To Get Started? 3 More Important Details!
Here are 3 more tips before you commit to get more fit:

Some people struggle with their weight because they are not active enough, others struggle with overeating, health issues, etc. If you struggle with your weight because of overeating or health issues, please feel free to JOIN US in the 90 DAY CHALLENGE, too.

It is is a weight loss program using All Natural Skinny Fiber, Tracking & Weekly Support. You can use any diet plan or exercise choice!

Some of the fitness tracking devices have their own software and / or integrate with free online services. You are welcome to track there instead of using a calendar or notebook for recording your daily steps and whether you did strength training.

I will include weekly prizes for group member that participate in the challenge and check in each week (selected at random). You can put it towards a new pair of exercise shoes, pedometer, fitness tracker, bottle of Skinny Fiber, bottle of Ageless or whatever you choose. All current group members can participate or not because is it not mandatory. I do reserve the right to approve or disapprove new members because this open to my customers, followers and personal distributors, but no one with conflicting business interests. I do hope you understand. If not, contact me with questions.

OK, that's it. You have the challenge info to get started.

I am looking forward to enjoying this May Fitness Challenge with you.
