Its great to have a support group!

These women are the reason I get up and work out every day!
This is only about 1/3 of the strollerfit women in the group!
I love everyone of these girls and their kiddos.. We all help each other workout, diet and just with life!
I have never been a part of a group this wonderful!
If you struggle with working out, I would suggest joining a group like Strollerfit!
It changed my life!

Stroller fit challenge!

Challenge #10

Exercise: Do you ever wonder how far you actually jog or walk during your workout? Do you ever wonder how far you walk during the day?

If you want to know the TRUTH a great piece of equipment is a pedometer. It is useful, inexpensive and is a great tool to use to see how much you are actually moving through out the day! OR another great piece of equipment that I am in love with now is the Strollometer! Not only does it tell you how far you have gone, it tells you how hot, how cold, AND gives you your mph just like a treadmill! It is so cool!! I highly recommend it for tracking your workouts!

Your Goal should be 10,000 Steps a day!

Nutrition: Breakfast like a King, Lunch like a prince, and Dinner like a pauper! So breakfast can be tough….The point is your body NEEDS the energy in the morning more than the evening. Eat big in the morning, Eat a medium sized lunch, and eat a very small portion at dinner. If you have trouble eating breakfast…TRY THIS. Eat a small dinner, stop eating 2-3 hours before bed and I betcha you will be Ready for Breakfast after a few days!

Challenge #9

Exercise: Pump up those evening walks 3 times a week by doing intervals. If you are a walker (Medium paced walk 1 minute then fast walk 2 minutes) If you are a runner (jog for 2 minutes and then run 1 minute, back to a jog then sprint 20 seconds) You get the idea! J The goal is rather than having to workout longer, you just workout harder!

Nutrition: Drink 6-8 glasses of water a day AND since we all exercise we should be drinking more!

Tip: Beware of the elastic waist band. J I love to wear my comfy workout clothes all day, but to get a REAL picture of your progress choose a piece of clothing that is less forgiving!!

Have a healthy day!

Challenge #8

Since you are getting the hang of all the challenges, I will begin sending them out more frequently. 2 weeks to go!!!!!

Exercise Challenge: Add one more evening walk during the week (3 total) and 4 (30 second planks) while watching TV. Work your way up to 4 (one minute planks)

Nutrition Challenge: Eat don’t drink your calories. Be careful of the drinks you consume. Coffee drinks, smoothies, and alcoholic beverages, while delicious are full of CALORIES! Find a slimmer version OR limit them.

Challenge #8

Challenge #7



Exercise Challenge: Walk and Talk….Talk and Walk! Take advantage of times you are the telephone to walk around your house. You can add lots of steps and burn lots of “extra” calories by moving while you are on the telephone.

Nutrition Challenge: Stop eating 2-3 hours before you go to bed. Reach for a sip of water, take a shower, take a walk instead of munching on food in the evening.



Have a Healthy Day!

I'm a slacker!

Sorry I have been slow on posting challenges...
here are the 3 I have missed adding


challenge # 4

Exercise Challenge: Add one 20 minute evening walk to your routine, or for an extra calorie burn, come try a StrollerFit evening class.

Nutrition Challenge: Calories count! Track what you eat by using a FREE resource such as www.fitday.com or http://www.calorie-count.com/ (thank you Lindsay). Once you get the hang of these sights, entering your info can be fun and informative.

challenge #5

Exercise Challenge: Record your workouts…You will receive a calendar in class to help you do this! As I always say consistency is key…we always think we exercise more than we actually do. This calendar will give you a visual picture of what you are doing!! It may be simple, but it works.

Nutrition Challenge: Stop eating after your child & I don’t mean baby food. J Remember: a handful of goldfish, the rest of a sandwich, a few fruit snacks etc = a lot of unnecessary calories. A bit here a bit there and you have just added an extra 200-500 calories to your day without even knowing it.


Challenge #6

Exercise Challenge: Add an extra 20 minute walk in the evening. You should now be doing two 20 minute walks per week OR come and try an evening StrollerFit class for an extra calorie burn! Add 50 Crunches before breakfast!

Nutrition Challenge: Sit down at a table and eat. As busy moms, we multi-task, eat standing up and an hour later, forget when have even eaten…sound familiar?? Absolutely do NOT eat in your car!!

Stroller fit challenge!

Challenge #3



Exercise Challenge: 25 crunches before the 1st diaper change!! If you are a new c-section mom or pregnant do 10 core stabilization exercises.

Nutrition Challenge: Plan and write down your meals for the entire week…breakfast, lunch and dinner. Make a grocery list and stick to it.



Again…inch by inch it’s a cinch. It is the small, consistent changes that make the difference!!

Total Body Challenge #2

Exercise Challenge: Consistency is the Key! If you would like to make a total body transformation you need to commit to attending StrollerFit at least 3X per week on a Consistent Basis!! Schedule class just like you would your child’s doctor’s appointment. You wouldn’t miss their check-up…don’t miss your workout!!

Nutrition Challenge: Write down EVERYTHING you eat for the next 3 Days!!



Have a Healthy Day!!

Stroller fit challenge!

Today is Day 1 of the 6 week total body challenge with strollerfit!
I am so in this competition!!!!!

Challenge #1

(from my instructor)

Goal Setting-

1. “Ink it don’t think it.” When setting goals – Write them down! This increases the likelihood of making your goals a reality. This is your MAP! Post your goals everywhere…carry them with you and look at them often!
2. Set a deadline –In other words, when will you reach your goals? The total body challenge has taken care of this for you! June 30^th is your deadline for these goals!
3. Goals must be measurable and specific- Here is an example: By June 30^th, I will lose 10 lbs. In order to reach this goal I will 1. Attend 3 StrollerFit classes per week 2. Follow a proven eating plan such as WW, South Beach etc, 3. I will stop eating 2-3 hours before bedtime 4. I will walk 10,000 steps per day.

We set goals today... I usually set goals that are way too high to accomplish, but not this time!

GOALS
1. loose 10 lbs (in the 6 weeks)
2. Run 3 times a week outside of Strollerfit
3. Attend 5 or more classes a week (usually do, but I wanted to write it down!)

I am still going to count calories!!!!

Yay!
Keep checking back for my progress!!!!
I hope I make you all proud!
