Healthy Fitness Challenge: Week 3, Day 4

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

Inspiration/Motivation Tip: In a state of appreciation all good things will flow to you. Be thankful for all that you have and look at the glass as half full.

Workout: Back, Bi’s, and Thighs (Interval or Circuit format to keep your heart rate elevated); Core; Stretch-it-Out

Exercise of The Day: Scissor Kicks- This is one of my favorite exercises to tone the inner thighs and lower abdominal fibers (transverse abdominus)

Exercise Tip: To help you burn fat off of your belly do cardio exercises that require you to use your core muscles like jogging, power walking, kickboxing and dancing.

Meal Plan

Breakfast: Poached Eggs/Mixed Greens Salad/ cottage cheese/ whole wheat toast/blueberry all-fruit jam

Snack: 1/2 of low fat cottage cheese with a half cup of fresh berries

Lunch: Curried Chicken Sandwich

Snack: Half a Turkey Pita Sandwich

Snack: A pear/ a piece of low-fat organic string cheese

Dinner: Fish Tacos/ Garlic Spinach

Dessert: Sliced strawberries w diced Mangoes

Nutrition Tip: If you pack your food for the day and plan your meals in advance then you will be more likely to eat healthy. Don’t wait until you are hungry to decide what to eat. That is when all the mistakes happen.
