HOT JEANS CHALLENGE
Break out your skinny jeans and commit to work hard for 8 weeks!
Step 1. Check in! Decide that you are committing to this, seriously, for 8 weeks.
Step 2. Find a pair of jeans you no longer fit into or go to your favorite store and try on a particular pair of jeans. Put those jeans somewhere you can easily access or write down the details (style, size, etc) if you tried on your current size (you will go back for those jeans at the end of the challenge).
Step 3. Schedule time for 4 workouts/week (3 strength and 1 metabolic conditioning) Follow the shopping lists, meal ideas, and workout plan that I provide for you.
*I know this will work and I am here to help, motivate, answer questions, etc until you make these healthy habits a lifestyle. This is not temporary! It is the beginning of a new, leaner, happier, healthier you!*
Tips to succeed:
1. Clean out your kitchen! Remove the junk you can't resist or at least place it out of sight.
2. Don't go near the scale! It will not help you in this challenge.
3. Plan ahead. Make time for grocery shopping, looking up recipes, and food prep. It does take time, but its worth it!
4. Cook extra protein. Always have protein prepared to grab for your lunch, salads, or a quick meal on the go. (ie. grilled chicken, hard boiled eggs..)
5. Stay accountable. Share you struggles with the group, a particular friend, or keep a journal of workouts and food. It works wonders!
6. Follow a 90/10 rule. Be strict 90% of the time and splurge no more than 10%. If you do have a treat, so be it. Get right back on track.
7, Drink 64oz of water every day. Don't go anywhere without a water bottle (reusable of course!).
8. Aim to sleep 7-8 hours per night.

WORKOUT
Plan for 4 workouts a week
*3 strength & conditioning workouts (ideally at bootycamp with me!)
*1 High intensity conditioning workout
Off days aren't for sitting on the couch. Do things that you enjoy, but are less intense and allow you to recover from your main workouts.This could include beach walks, paddleboarding, swimming, yoga, etc
