Yoga Challenge + He and She Goes to NYC!

ChallengesWhitney CarlsonComment

Yoga. It has been on my “goal list” for years. I’ve listed it as something that I want to incorporate each time I write out my goals but it always seems to be the first thing that’s overlooked too. Not anymore! I’m sharing this with you so that you can help hold me accountable! I’m actually very flexible (I can even put my legs behind my head like a pretzel!) and enjoy yoga and stretching but it’s not something that I’ve incorporated into my routine like I should. As we’ve mentioned numerous times, strength training, cardio, and flexibility training should all be included in your workout routine. We created a little Yoga Challenge for ourselves and wanted to share with you as well! Hopefully once we complete this for a month it will become a habit! You can check in with us and let us know you are completing the challenge to in our Healthy Living Challenge Group!

We want you to #MakeYourMove with yoga this month! Need some yoga inspiration or ideas? Try this A.M. & P.M. Yoga for Beginners DVD from Kohl’s!

Why Yoga? Just to name a few benefits…
  • Reduces Stress
  • Increases Flexibility
  • Helps Protect from Injuries
  • Improves Posture
We will be posting a lot of our yoga pictures in the Healthy Living Challenge group and also on our Instagram (@heandsheeatclean). Please tag us in yours and use the hashtag #MakeYourMove so we can see you!


Speaking of yoga, when we think of yoga we also think of Gaiam. We were invited to New York City at the end of April to attend an event to celebrate the launch of Gaiam in Kohl’s stores. It was an amazing experience! Tracy Anderson and Vanessa Hudgens were there too! We were also able to participate in a yoga session led by Two Fit Moms. Although it was FREEZING (literally) we had a blast! We’ve included a few pictures from the event!

Backbends are my thing! I have to do them everywhere we go. I do one on almost all of the hikes we take!


I loved all of the signs include this “I plank therefore I am” one! They were so motivating with sayings like “Mind Over Matter”!





P.S. You can find my pants at Kohls here and the full Gaiam collection here. 

Below is one of my favorite pictures of Scott and me. I can’t wait to recreate this picture and some new ones after this yoga challenge!


I plan on taking a yoga/Pilates class once a week plus doing this yoga challenge (incorporating moves from yoga DVDs). How do you plan to #MakeYourMove with yoga?

Two Week Cardio Challenge + GIVEAWAY!

ChallengesWhitney Carlson55 Comments

All too often we hear from people that are either doing way too much cardio or people who get burned out from cardio in general. While we don’t ever want to discourage someone from doing what makes them happy, it’s important to find balance in your training. As we’ve mentioned before, we always recommend a mix of strength training, cardio, and flexibility training. Finding something that you love to cover all three of these is very important so that you don’t dread your workouts!

We were talking about all of this while we were hiking in California and an idea came to us (hiking is when we get most of our ideas!) to create a two week cardio challenge. Our FREE Two Week Healthy Living Challenge has been very popular so we decided to have this one be a two week challenge to go along with the Healthy Living Challenge!

Speaking of hiking, below is a picture of one of the hikes we did in Morro Bay, California. It was a beautiful trail! You can find the outfit Whitney is wearing at Kohl’s here.


And how cool is this shirt? It was perfect for me since I obviously love to hike! You can find it on Kohl’s website here.


The goal with this challenge, which goes along with Kohl’s #MakeYourMove Campaign, is to have a fun motivating challenge so hopefully you can discover what energizes you and brings you the most joy and incorporate that into your daily routine!

We didn’t just want to create any challenge though we wanted one that would incorporate running AND incline training to keep you from getting bored and to keep your body guessing. This challenge gets harder as time goes on but it should be adjusted to your current fitness level. For example, if you can’t handle the 8% incline with a speed of 2.8 try a 6% incline with a speed of 2.6. Tack this cardio challenge onto the end of one of your strength training sessions (may we suggest of the 4, 6, or 12 week workout plans that we have?!). This can certainly be done longer than two weeks but just make sure that you always incorporate the ever important rest days.


It gets even better though…how about NEW SHOES for this cardio challenge?! Who isn’t motivated by new workout gear? All you have to do is leave a comment below and let us know how you plan to #MakeYourMove for your chance to win a pair of New Balance shoes (for some ideas see this post)! We also suggest that you follow us and Kohl’s on social media so you don’t miss a post!

 **Open to US citizens only - 18 or older. Open to men and women. Winner will be selected using random.org. Leave your comment by 11:59 EST on May 6, 2015 in order to be eligible.
