Healthy Fitness Challenge: Week 1, Day 2
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.

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.
