In last week’s Hump Day Fitness Challenge, 2daybefit, LLC challenged you to do Push-ups and Sit-ups everyday for a week during the commercial breaks of your favorite show. The response was WEAK, so let’s keep it moving to this week’s challenge.
Most gym goers love to hit the weights and do all of the aerobic classes. But, sometimes that just isn’t enough. Sometimes we need go that extra mile in order to see results.
Now, it’s that time again to unwrap this week fitness challenge.
This week: 30 minute cardio post workout. Yes, I know you hate it, but it has to be done. Cardio is one of the most important phases of training. Cardio will not only help burn those extra unwanted pounds but there are many other benefits to doing cardio including:
- Cardiovascular health
- Metabolism increase
- Recovery aide
Challenge yourself by staying an extra 30 minutes to achieve the health and look you want. For those who have been doing cardio, increase your time by 10 minutes in order to push yourself.
Pain is weakness leaving the body or, in this, fat. So jump up on that cardio deck and bang out the cardio exercise of your choice. Keep track of the days as well as durations and email us with your results at the end of this week’s challenge to info@2daybefit.com.
Don’t forget, if there’s any particular area you want to focus on feel free to ask us and we will feature it in our Hump Day Fitness Challenge Blog.
Get down and get fit 2day with the Hump Day Challenge!

Bread, rice, pasta, cupcakes, bagels - they’re all carbs.
There’s so many different philosophies when it comes to this topic. Readers may agree or disagree with my perspective but I can only write about my experience with carbs. So, brace yourself, I’m about to knock your boxers off.
Carbs, Yeah I said it and i’ll say it again, Carbs. First thing’s first. You can’t be scared of the word. There is nothing wrong with eating carbs. Some of us are carbs/gluten sensitive, and if you are you should speak with your nutritionist about coming up with a meal plan that fits your needs. But for the rest who fear eating carbs will get them fat just slap yourself. That’s a myth.
Please understand that there are two types of carbs: Complex and Simple.
Complex carbs are high-fiber foods that your body needs to help improve digestion and when are broken down in the body become they become glucose that is slowly released which keeps yours energy levels stabilized and hunger at bay.
On the other hand, Simple carbs (sugar) are responsible for changing one’s mood. They cause unhealthy spikes in blood-sugar levels and weight gain.
Any nutritionist/dietitian will always have carbs in your diet. Your plan may have carbs in the morning or be portioned out for every meal throughout the day. Nonetheless, your meal plan will include foods high in complex carbohydrates.
Complex Carbs include: 100% whole grain/wheat bread and pasta, oats, brown rice, sweet potatoes.
Simple Carbs include: Food that contains fructose (fruit sugar), sucrose (table sugar) or lactose (dairy sugar)
