We had so much fun with the Pumpkin Push-Up Challenge we decided to do a Turkey Challenge for November! We also put these challenges out for ourselves - so we have to do them too!

We could all use a little extra activity during the month of November so I introduce to you our Turkey "Tone It Up" Challenge. I suggest doing this right when you wake up - what a great way to start your day!

This challenge was designed to be something that you do in addition to your normal workout (which is hopefully one of our workout plans!). We have 4, 6, and 12 week workout plans for all fitness levels!

If this is too easy for you - double everything. Too hard? Do what you can!

Ready for another challenge? Start this push-up challenge on October 1st and by October 31st you should be able to do 31 push-ups!

This challenge was designed to be something that you do in addition to your normal workout (which is hopefully one of our workout plans!). We have 4, 6, and 12 week workout plans for all fitness levels!

Want to know the best part? All fitness levels can do this one! Can't do a regular push-up yet? No problem! Start with wall push-ups or table/chair push-ups, then progress onto knee push-ups and then into full push-ups! Or maybe regular push-ups are too easy for you...try incline and/or decline push-ups and then shoot for one hand or one leg push-ups! Use our calendar and then use your own fitness level to determine which type of push-up you should do!

Thigh Gaps, Six Packs and "Barbie" Bodies

Body ImageWhitney Carlson5 Comments

Thigh Gaps, Six Packs and "Barbie" Bodies. Out of all of those, the six pack is the most attainable, but for 99% of us, it's just not realistic. So WHY do we put so much pressure on ourselves? 

 

Here's a few things to note: 

Trends are trends. Why do you think everyone jumped on the bandwagon of the "thigh gap?" It's trendy and was mainly popular among the younger crowd (as if any of us are "old" - we are not, but I mean high schoolers, people!) who number one, haven't been riddled with female hormonal issues, the aging process and the thought of having babies, and number two, follow pop culture and celebrities like they are their best friends. Whatever way you slice it, the thigh gap REALLY isn't attainable for 99.9% of us and some might even argue that it's not that attractive. So why are we fascinated by it?

 

The media turns heads and influences our minds. Do you have a personal graphic artist who airbrushes your pictures? We didn't think so! Neither do we (not even when we get photoshoots done, except for the occasional blemish here or there)! So why do we think for one minute that the women in these magazine advertisements, television commercials and movies really look like that? Because we buy into the fantasy!?! Why?!? Media influence! DON'T fall victim! The media has an opportunity to pump someone or something up and dump it like a hot potato five seconds later.

 

Let's STOP wishing we were our favorite doll from our past and start focusing on the person we ARE and the body we were given. If you have a surgical scar - embrace it. You can't change it! Don't hate it. If you are doing everything you know how to do, including eating clean, working out and living a healthy lifestyle but your waist size doesn't budge on the tape measure, love every inch of it! You work for the body have - yes, you want to improve it, but ultimately, you are YOU! Don't look to change it - embrace it! 

 

Reaching for the stars and constantly seeking better for yourself should be one of your top priorities, but be REALISTIC! Thigh gaps, 6-packs and "Barbie" bodies just aren't realistic for most of us!  

 

How do you work for the body you have?
