Healthy Fitness Challenge: Week 8, Day 2

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

Inspiration/Motivation Tip: Love what you do and do what you love. One of the healthiest things you can do is make sure you enjoy what you do every day. If life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

Workout: Chest, Triceps, and Booty; Core; Stretch-it-Out

Exercise of the Day: Kneeling back kicks. This is one of my favorite exercises to tone the buttocks and hamstrings.

Exercise Tip: To burn fat around your core, choose cardio exercises that require that you use your core muscles, like jogging, power walking, kickboxing, bootcamp, dance, stairs and skipping. You don’t have to use very much of your core sitting on a bike, especially a recumbent bike.

Meal Plan

Breakfast: Poached Eggs w/Smoked Salmon/Sautéed Spinach/Lemon

Snack: Grapefruit

Lunch: Turkey Sandwich on Whole Wheat w/Side Salad

Snack: Pear

Snack: 20 Almonds & 1 Apple

Dinner: Fish Tacos w/Black Bean & Corn Salsa/Green Beans

Nutrition Tip: Make sure that you are eating the proper portion sizes for your metabolic rate.
