Healthy Fitness Challenge: Week 1, Day 2

Every weekday, join "The Mo'Nique Show" on a 12-week workout program with Hollywood trainer Jeanette Jenkins.

Inspiration/Motivation Tip: A Positive Mind can achieve what others believe to be impossible!

Workout: Chest, Tri’s, and Booty; Core; Stretch-it-Out

Exercise of The Day: Reverse Lunge- This exercise will sculpt and define the buttocks and legs and you will also use the core muscles to stabilize. To increase the intensity add a bicep curl or shoulder raise (lateral or anterior) at the same time.

Exercise Tip: Mentally focus on the muscles that you are working and make sure that you feel them contracting and you will use more more muscle fibers.

Meal Plan

Breakfast-Oatmeal and egg white frittata with 2 tbsp of cottage cheese, bananas, ½ cup fresh strawberries and ¼ cup of apple sauce

Snack-Apple

Lunch-Grilled Chicken with ½ Yam, Spinach

Snack- Tomato and Cucumber salad with feta cheese flax seed oil and Lemon

Snack- Brown Rice Cake with Soy nut butter and all fruit Jam

Dinner- Albacore Tuna Chopped Salad

Dessert-Apples with Walnuts and cinnamon

Nutrition Tip:
Fiber will slow down the absorption of sugar into the blood stream and help you burn fat. Fiber will also help you in elimination. Try to have at least 5grams of fiber per serving of snack or meal. Women should have 25grams of fiber and Men should have 30-35grams of fiber per day.
