February 2014 Abs Challenge

Last February I put together an abs challenge, so I wanted to put another one together this February. This challenge was designed to be a great addition to anyone's existing daily workout, as I have you only doing one round every day. Now that said, it's also ideal for the beginner who is just starting their exercise journey.

I hope that you enjoy the challenge and can keep up with it 6 days a week!  Please feel free to pin away and SHARE with your friends through Facebook and Twitter. While you are there, don't forget to follow me as well at Fit and Healthy with Debbie Reichert and you can find me on Twitter here and Pinterest here.

Below is a quick preview of the exercises that are included in this month's challenge.

Push ups

Note: If you are currently not able to do a full push up on your feet, please simply go down to your knees until you build up enough strength to do a full push up on your feet

Bicycles and Boat Crunches

Plank

Have a fantastic February my fit friends!!!

In Good Health,

Debbie

January 2014 Fitness Challenge

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! (Throw confetti here, kiss somebody, etc. etc.) OK, now that the formalities are done, some of you may be sitting there thinking about the New Year's Resolution you set for yourself to get more fit and healthy in the New Year! If that is you then congratulations for taking the first step! I've decided to help give you someplace to start.  However, this challenge is GREAT for any fitness level.  For those of you just starting out in your fitness journey feel free to cut the reps in half or thirds and work up to the reps that I have listed over time. For the seasoned fit fittie, this is a great add-on to your current workout regimen.  This is a circuit you can do at the end of any workout to put on that nice finishing touch.

It's been awhile since I brought you a monthly challenge and I hope to be able to do more for you in 2014. As long as you keep doing them, pinning them on Pinterest and sharing with your friends on Facebook and Twitter, I'll continue to take the time to create new challenges for you!! Sound like a deal?

So without further ado, let's bring it in 2014!!!

Clean Eating Challenge grocery list

In preparation for our clean eating challenge, it will be imperative to do a little shopping to get some key foods for the challenge.  It isn't all that complicated.  We will really be eating food in it's most natural state so you will find your meals and snacks to be rather simple actually!  Our ultimate goal is to stay away from most processed foods. So, in order to get us started on the right foot, I'll give you a list of some foods that you can have on hand in order to make this challenge a success. And make sure to read my previous blog post to get a true feel for what exactly we mean by eating clean.

Clean Eating Challenge

Since January, I have been doing monthly Facebook fitness challenges over at Fit and Healthy with Debbie Reichert. Last week, a friend of mine mentioned doing a clean eating challenge for June.  Brilliant I said!! There are many people out there that work out consistently, but yet struggle with the nutrition component of their exercise program so I would like to help you with that this month if I can.  Here is what we are going to be looking at for the month of June when it comes to our clean eating challenge.
