Ready for another challenge? 

It's winter so you might be inside (and sitting) more than normal but it's time to start thinking about spring weather. Let's get our hearts pumping and fat melting.

I'll be honest, I usually put together these challenges to force myself to get moving in the mornings. You can do these anytime during the day but I like to do mine as soon as I wake up because it sets me up for a great day and I won't forget about it.

This should NOT be your only workout of the day though, these challenges are meant to be paired with your regular workout (which is hopefully one of our workout plans!).

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

Need help with the exercises?

• How to do a plank
• How to do a push-up
• How to do a squat
• How to do a Burpee:

1. Squat with your hands on the ground in front of you
2. Kick your feet back into plank position
3. Do a push-up (if you are up for the challenge!)
4. Quickly return to the squat position
5. Jump as high as you can as you stand back up

Tips to Save Money while Eating Healthy + Healthy AND Frugal Meal Ideas

We're all looking for healthy recipes but a lot of times those healthy recipes call for ingredients that you might not have all the time in your pantry. We're all about healthy meals that don't break the bank here and wanted to share some of our favorites with you and also some tips!

Simple Tips on Saving Money While Eating Healthy

• Start using that dusty old spice rack to give your recipes a little more flavor. You will use this often when preparing your own healthy meals at home.
• Buy extra when an item goes on sale, especially if it is shelf stable (chicken broth, beans, etc) or can be frozen and used later (meats). We've even dedicated one of our hall closets as our "bulk" closet.
• We've had pretty good success scoring coupons by emailing the vendors that market the products that we frequently purchase. Most of the time you can reach them by going to the "Contact Us" section of their website; however, it's often as simple as signing up for their email newsletter!
• Check the front of the store where you shop for coupons. Some stores have booklets right when you walk in that are full of recipes and coupons. Browse through these before you start shopping to see if there is a coupon for something on your list.

Our Favorite Healthy AND Frugal Meal Ideas

Don't be fooled...eating out is very expensive. It adds up quickly although most people just pay attention to their grocery store total vs their restaurant bill. We love to buy ingredients that we can use in many different recipes and make the most cost-effective meals we can. Below we share with you some of our favorites and an approximate total for each. We think it's a small price to pay when you can control exactly what is going in your food and how it is prepared.

• Egg White Omelet with Spinach and Onions (add minced garlic, sea salt, and pepper) paired with our Sweet-Sweet Potato Cubes
  • Total Cost: $2.00-$3.00 per serving
• Protein Shake with Crock Pot Oats (Apple-Cinnamon or Cranberry Apple)
  • Total Cost: $3.25-$4.25 per serving
• Salsa Chicken with Brown Rice and Mixed Veggies
  • Total Cost: $2.00-$3.00 per serving
• Clean Eating Chicken Salad
  • Total Cost: $2.50-$3.50 per serving

Need a challenge in order to get your cardio in this time of year? It makes it difficult to get motivated to do cardio or even go to the gym when it's cold outside - we understand! Unfortunately, you are going to have to hit the treadmill instead of the trails for this one but at least it's fun and challenging!

As always, adjust this challenge to your current fitness level.
