Fitness Challenge


I challenge you to complete my butt lift workout 4-5 days this week


Challenge synopsis
  • Complete my butt lift workout 4-5 times this week
  • Focus on form rather than speed
  • Complete each exercise at a steady pace
  • Rest when you need to and always go before your ready
Why Why Why
It's spring and the dresses are getting shorter and shorter, it's time to condition your backside.

Materials
Exercise mat or big towel

Directions


Mary's Butt Lift Workout
 complete 3 sets of each exercise

to warm up your body complete last weeks cardio challenge before this routine



Single Leg Arm Reach 
8-10 reps
Squats 

8-10 reps



Lunges 
8-10 reps 




Toe Taps 
8-10 reps

**if you feel any lower back pain don't bring your toes all the way down




Squats Kickbacks
8-10 reps
Stability Ball Back Extensions
8-10 reps



Butt Kick Ups
8-10 reps



Bridges
8-10 reps




My Take
I'm all about a firm booty. These are some of my favorite exercises to get my backside into shape. Everyone wants a nice butt, and everyone can have one, you have to work your glutes and your thighs to get that round bubble butt. You can improve your butt, its not impossible, you have to work those muscles to shape it, just like any other part of your body. 



Nutrition Challenge
I challenge you to plan and pack your lunch and snacks for the rest of the week 

Challenge synopsis
  • Pre package your lunches for the next few days or the night before
  • Try your best not to spend any money during lunch time, purchase everything at the grocery store and bring it to work, this will save you time and money

Why why why
  • Eat healthier
  • Shop more efficiently
  • Spend less money on lunch
  • Makes it easier to resist impulse purchases
  • Take the thought out of what you are eating for lunch

  • Write down what you want for lunch for the next 4 days
  • Lunch should include fruit or veggies, lean protein, and whole grains
  • Make a shopping list or shop your pantry to make it easier
  • Prepackage your lunch and snacks to eat throughout the day
  • Enjoy eating healthy and saving money

My Take
I like planing out almost all of my meals, it gives me something to look forward to. I find that it saves me time and money, which are two things that I don't have a lot of. It also keeps me in-shape and full, which can be hard when your dieting, or watching what you eat, all the time. I hope you enjoy this challenge as much as I do.
