One of the hardest things to do is love ourselves. I mean truly love ourselves. Love who we are, love our gifts and talents, and love how are body was designed. For the month of February, we are going to find something different each day to love about ourselves, while we take care of our bodies with a new set of workout challenges. Are you in? We start on Monday, January 31st!
I am also adding a nutrition guide for this challenge, so you can love yourself through healthy eating. Working out is great, BUT nutrition is the most important, and often overlooked aspect, of getting healthy. You have probably heard it said that you can’t outwork a bad diet, and that is pretty much true! This month I want you to focus on nourishing your body with healthy and nutrient dense foods while we work on building lean muscle mass. Will it be hard? Yes! Is it worth it? A hundred times yes! The nutrition guide is just a guide. It is to help you get started on your journey, but it is not a replacement for meeting with a registered dietician if you need help. I am a nutrition and weight loss coach, but I am NOT a registered dietician. That means I can help you create a healthier lifestyle, coach you with your nutrition, and teach you about better food options. However, I cannot create a meal plan for you or give you specific advice if you have dietary issues. That is outside of my scope of practice. I am happy to answer questions, give you ideas and suggestions, and I offer one on one nutrition coaching for a small fee.
In addition to focusing on nutrition and loving yourself, we have our daily workouts! For 30-50 minutes 5 days per week, plus an additional stretch day, we will work hard, build muscle, and show up for ourselves. All you have to do is push play! The workouts are free on my YouTube channel. All I ask is that you Subscribe to my channel, follow the workouts in the order they are presented, and give me a thumbs up if you complete the workout. I am also asking that you comment in the comment section what you are going to love about yourself that day. Of course that is optional, but I want to cheer you on and get to know you better!
I also have a calendar for you, so you know which workouts you are doing each day. Take rest days as you need them! The calendar also tells you what equipment you will need for that workout. I try to keep the equipment requirements minimal, so that everyone can do them, and I offer modifications where needed. You can do these workouts as a beginner or more advanced person. Start with light weights if you are new to strength training and go heavier of you have been with me for a while. I do my best to keep the exercises simple but challenging. I hope you love it!
So are you ready to join me? We start Monday, January 31st! Below are the nutrition guide, Reading labels guide, and calendar!
