Seriously, October?! CRAZY! New month, time for a new challenge! Are you ready to get that booty burning...in a good way?

It's no secret that step-ups are my favorite exercise. They are in all of our workout plans and I usually add them in whenever I can, even if they aren't on the plan. You may hate me at first but you will love me at the end of the month, trust me. :) The number of reps listed is per leg. 

You can read more about how to do step-ups here. Below is a picture of the regular step-up, step-up with a knee lift, and step-up with extension. The 4th variation listed in the challenge is the lateral step-up. The lateral step-up is similar to the regular step-up but you are not facing the bench, you are standing next to it. You will use the leg closest to the bench to step-up onto the bench. Repeat for the number of reps listed and then switch to the other side.

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 you are advanced and this is too easy for you, you can double or triple each day. If this is too difficult, reduce the time and/or reps down and work your way up. This challenge is totally customizable based on your fitness level.

The more you have, the more you are occupied ... the less you have, the more free you are. - Mother Teresa

It's simple - we focus on the things we need in our pursuit of happiness, not the things we want in the relentless chase for status.

We waste so many days waiting for the weekend. So many nights wanting morning. Our lust for future comfort is the biggest thief of life. - Joshua Glenn Clark

Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it. - Ellen Goodman

How to Special Order a Pie from Costco

As we were leaving Costco last night (literally as we were walking up to have them check our receipt), I saw this special order box for pies (it's like they attract me now!!!!)! Then I realized the minimum order was 20 but I'm sure there's someone out there looking for that many pies. If that's you please let me know what you are doing with 20 pies (and send us a slice or two!). I think that these would be a good idea for a wedding reception instead of the traditional wedding cake. You could even use a few at the rehearsal dinner and the remaining at the wedding reception. Another idea is if you are working at or hosting a charity event such as a Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner for those who do not have anywhere to go. There are so many options you have with 20 pies! Just pass them out in the neighborhood! :-)
