Hump Day Fitness Challenge: Part 5

Wow!!! How time flies. A week has already past since last week's’ hump day challenge, I hope everyone enjoyed the challenge and reap the reward of dropping a few pound. Challenging yourself each and every week help you stay motivated and allows you to set new goals for yourself.

Change is something that most of us look for when we embark on this health/fitness lifestyle. It could be a change in weight lost, weight gain, muscle tone, flexibility or just a healthier life. Some of us take on this new lifestyle to be able to do some of the things we could not do because of injury, being overweight, or not being strong enough to accomplish the thing we want to do. Such as running a marathon, hiking, or finishing a triathlon. Even things like bending over to pick up your child, mopping the floor or walking with you love one around the park. Having a healthier and fitter lifestyle can and will help you achieve the things you love to do.

2daybefit wants you to go out and do those things you love or do the things that you have wanted to do but you couldn’t. That’s this week “Hump Day Challenge”, taking the step to enjoying life, do you. Do whatever it is that brings joy into your life. So go for that walk, climb that mountain, hike that trail and pick up your little one.

Have a wonderful week. Maybe I will see you on that hiking trail.

"Fav Food Gone Healthy, Healthy Recipes: Part 4

Its summertime and it’s hot as Hades outside, so for the next two to three month let’s enjoy lying by the pool, chilling on the boat and frolicking in the water on the beach. What’s better than a nice cold beverage next to you that’s not going to kill your diet and the hard work you’ve been putting in at the gym? Nothing

This week we’re moving from food to a drink that you will enjoy this weekend. A Salty Chihuahua, yeah we’re having a drink this weekend. Living a healthy and fitness lifestyle doesn’t stop you from enjoy in all of life's pleasures. It makes you aware of all the things you’re put into your body and teaches you moderation. So have a drink, you deserve it after a long week.

"Fitness 101 for beginners: Part 1 of 3"

Yes!!! You have decided to turn over a new leaf and change the way you have been living. Someone or something has made you want to get into shape and live a healthier lifestyle. Awesome! Welcome to the fitness family, but I know there could be some concerns. First, you have no clue where to begin. You step foot into the gym and you are overwhelmed. Its OK. Maybe 2daybefit can help ease you into this new life-changing event of getting into shape.

Approach fitness the same way you attack any new venture in life - low and easy but with focus and the determination to learn and conquer. Beginners don’t be afraid to ask for help, partner up with a friend, or get a trainer. These are all ways to help get you
started and assist you around the gym.  

As a trainer, the first thing we’re taught is safety. I suggest all newcomers to team up with a trainer or partner to learn the ropes. You do not want to injure yourself the first week or to cause injury to someone else. As you become familiar with your surroundings, you can then start training on your own.

As you begin to train alone, you should continue to refer back to a trainer to help guide and develop a program that will target your goals. Magazines, books, websites or any other fitness literature is a good way to learn more about training regimens and periodizing programs.

This is just the beginning of your new lifestyle and part 1 of 3 for beginner to the gym. Next week we’ll target meals. So stay focused and kick this new lifestyle’s butt.
