Bikini Challenge 2.0-Week 1

Hello Ladies!!!

Bikini Challenge 2.0 has officially arrived, get pumped!!

This challenge is all about pushing the limits, crushing goals, and becoming the strongest, healthiest YOU possible. Today marks the beginning of 8 weeks of intense workouts that are designed to tone, build strength, and create endurance. It won't be easy but it will be worth it. Let's spend the summer getting strong and healthy together!!!

The Bikini Challenge 2.0 starts this week by preparing you for the weeks to come, by starting small we gain BIG results. This week we concentrate on quick full body workouts mixed with cardio. Mixing these two things will allow your body to begin the process of becoming acquainted with challenging your muscles and begin to build the endurance that your body will need to carry you through out this challenge.

Each week will gradually become more challenging as we add more sets, weight, reps, and LOTS AND LOTS of Abs! Building up to each week will allow your body to become stronger while being less easily fatigued. With strength comes the ability to continue to push yourself to new limits and this is exactly what we are going for!!

Each of my workouts are designed to be completed in under 60 minutes and keep you feeling strong and powerful! These workouts are also designed for all levels from the beginner all the way to the fitness guru by allowing you to choose your weight, reps and the time in which it takes you to complete the full workout. While I suggest that you use weights that are comfortable to you and your level of experience I also want you to challenge yourself to some degree.

Beginner- Body weight (legs)/ 5 lbs (arms)/as described (abs)

Intermediate- 20 lbs (legs)/ 7-10 lbs (arms)/20 reps (abs)

Experienced- 30-40 lbs (legs)/ 10-15 lbs (arms)/30 reps (abs)

Exercise alone will not get you to your goal (it sucks, I know) but you must also implement a healthy eating lifestyle as well. Start each week with plan for your meals and not just your workouts. Each Sunday I plan out all of my meals for the week, make a grocery list, and hit the store. Having a list allows me to concentrate on only what I came for and I hardly ever deviate. Use any free time you have on Sunday to prep at least your first 2-3 meals for the week (excluding dinner). It's so much easier to be prepared and have your meals ready to grab out of the fridge when you are ready for them. I have a mock weekly meal plan example on my blog that you can begin with if you need ideas or suggestions. Each week we will remove one thing from our diet and continue to leave it out of our diet plans for the remaining 7 weeks. I suggest removing something that is your worst eating habit in the beginning, this will allow for optimal results. For example, if you drink a coke every day, I would suggest removing that now.

I am SO excited for this challenge. I have personally completed each of these workouts and I will also be going through each day of this challenge with you! CLICK HERE FOR THE WEEK 1 WORKOUT
