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!

All these gimmicks and gadgets people are buying to shape up make me laugh - abdominal belts, leg shaping machines and butt toning products. Stop wasting your hard earned money and get to the gym. There is no way around hard work, the harder you work the more you are going to get out of it. Spot reduction does not exist.
Most people approach their trainer proclaiming, “I will like to lose weight here.” Let me be real with you. If your trainer gives you a routine to help you lose fat in a specific area they are full of BS. No such thing as spot reduction.
Losing weight is a total body process.
Body fat is lost throughout in a pattern dependent upon genetics, sex (hormones), and age. So guess what, overall body fat must be lost in order to lose fat in any particular area.
Please pay attention to what I’m about to say. Only doing exercises in those troubling areas will build muscle under the FAT. So guys, doing a million sit-ups isn’t burning the fat in your gut, it’s just giving you abs of steal that no one can see. Ladies, doing a thousand lunges is making your legs strong enough to thrust kick your man in the jaw but, it’s not trimming the fat off of them.
Have you ever put on a pair of jeans after you’ve been training for a month and they seem to be tighter? UMMM yeah, you’ve been building the muscle underneath the fat without burning the fat. So this is what I’m suggesting, GO DO SOME DAMN CARDIO!!!! If you want to trim down, get lean and sexy, then you have to spend time on the cardio deck. That’s the only way. So do at least 30 minutes 3 to 4 times a week, then tell me how those jeans fit.
