Free meal plan, detox: Join our January workout challenge!

In less than 48 hours, the new year will arrive and we'll be alive to welcome it, God willing. I'm pretty sure loads of people already have their "new year resolutions" and they're waiting to activate them by January 1st.

Research has shown that most people add alot of weight during the Christmas and New year break and some go on to include weightloss in their new year resolutions. I personally think that everyone should have "an everyday resolution" instead of waiting for the New Year, but there's really nothing wrong with making new resolutions.

Get fit for xmas workout challenge! Get 10k for getting fit!

Get fit for Xmas! Yes you!, you! And me! Are you surprised I added "me" to that sentence? Well, I did because I need to get fit. I took a break from workout and you can hold my "past ill health" responsible for that, but trust me, I'm not joining the challenge to win the money.

It's been over a month we had any workout challenge, no thanks to several reasons, but this is happening now, especially because some of our lovely readers have requested a challenge and yes! Christmas is a few miles away.

SATURDAY WORKOUT REPORT!

Hey guys! It's a lovely Saturday morning in this part of the world and I'm just getting up to workout indoors (blame it on...). I'll love to hear what you've been up to? What's your workout routine? What did you achieve this week? Have you exercised this morning?

WEIGHTLOSS CHALLENGE! JOIN IN!

Hello everyone! How you doing? Before going on to announce this challenge, I'd like to thank everyone who's contributed to this blog in numerous ways. I really appreciate your emails and comments.

In the past 2 days, I've gotten loads of emails and comments on weightloss and it's due to that popular demand that I'm announcing our first 1month weight loss challenge. The success of this challenge will pave way for our 100$ weightloss challenge, so it's imperative that you pay close attention to the guidelines and try as much as possible to comply.

WORKOUT REPORT! WHAT'S YOUR WORKOUT REPORT?!

A workout report is a daily/ record of your workout routine. Keeping a workout report or a workout journal is a great way to keep track of your progress. By taking records of your workout routine everyday, you're able to see your progress and recognise where you need improvement. The importance of keeping a workout report also include;

ATTENTION ALL WORKOUT CHALLENGE PARTICIPANTS!!!

Workout challenges are a great way to condition your body to adapt quickly to exercisies and also help you achieve specific results in a desired area.

To make the most out of every workout challenge you join on this blog, it is essential to adhere to the guidelines as much as you can. This makes it easier for me to track your results and help you improve.

DEALING WITH MUSCLE SORENESS AFTER EXERCISE

Exercises are accompanied with muscle pain, especially if you're working out for the first time. Starting a workout plan comes with loads of challenges like, creating time to exercise, keeping up with it, trying to achieve your set goals and possibly exceed it. It's a lot of hardwork! 

If you're not motivated enough, chances are, you'll quit after the first day. But guess what? If you resume after a while, you're still gonna experience the same measure of pain in those muscles, so endure the pain and surprise yourself!

SQUAT/BOOTY CHALLENGE EXTENSION!

Due to popular demand, I've decided to add an extra week to the squat challenge. A lot of people have written me asking if they can still join in. Some have just indicated their interest even as I'm typing this.
A huge well-done to everyone who's currently in the challenge. Please do send me your pictures if you're yet to send it.

To the new participants, welcome aboard! Please read the guidelines of the challenge here. Make sure to send your present pictures, so that by the end of the challenge, we'll compare them to your final results.

AVOID THESE FOODS IF YOU WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT

Losing weight can be a hard struggle especially if you've put on so much weight, but with exercising and eating right you'll definitely get off the over-weight department. The choice to exercise and eat right is yours to make. Remember it took a while for you to put on so much weight, you're not going to lose it by magic or a snap of your finger. Taking weight-loss pills is also not advisable, because pills like that are designed to fail, but exercises and the right diet will help you achieve your fitness goals. Checkout my post on weight loss exercises here . For starters you'll need to stop drinking regular and diet sodas/soft drinks.
