Today at the gym I had an encounter that stayed with me all day. I was in the locker room closing up my locker when the woman sitting next to me on the bench contentedly exclaimed, “Ahhhhh, I feel so good now!” “After your workout?” I asked. “Yes!” she said with a bright smile. Then she slowly stood up and walked away with the help of her walker. She’s 85 years old. She swims every single day. It’s far from easy for her to move around, but her attitude and her gratitude for what her body can do for her, rather than what it can't, is on point and I find her so inspiring. Whatever our excuse is. It’s time to stop believing it. Join me on YouTube, Facebook, and Pinterest for workouts, fitness and weight loss tips, motivation, and healthy meal planning. 🌟Train. Nourish.

A new J’s Fit Hits episode will be coming out next week. My apologies, but due to lots of family obligations, other projects, and illness last week I wasn’t able to create one for this week. So, in the interim continue with the Fitness As A Lifestyle Challenges that we’ve got going so far…(1) Drink .5-1oz of water per pound of bodyweight per day (2) Get 7-9 hours of sleep per night (3) Eat MORE! Veggies that is. Go whole hog. Really focus on filling your plate with them morning, noon, and night and snacks in between! Just this one change will really help you towards your health and weight loss goals. This week I’ll be posting an awesome and delicious veggie comfort food hack that is full of fiber and protein to really make you full and satisfy your hunger. It’s an awesome nutrient dense low calorie meal. So stay tuned for that! Keep sending me your questions for the Q&A! Hope you’re all having a great week so far! Train. Nourish.

Hi everyone and happy Monday! The first workout of my new series is now posted! It's a legs & abs killer with both fat burning cardio and muscle sculpting strength. I hope you like it and follow along with the new series! We're going to have lots of fun with it! :-) The FitForceFX HIIT & Strength Series is designed to shred fat, define muscle, and improve your endurance and stamina. I want you to push yourself for the duration of each workout. Remember that you get what you put in, and you are stronger than you think. Challenge yourself and you will see results with this! Follow along with the Fitness As A Lifestyle Challenges, given each week on my Fit Hits videos, to incorporate healthy diet and lifestyle habits to supplement your hard work and help you reach your goals. Don't forget to check in with me on Facebook and YouTube and tell me how you're doing! Each workout in the HIIT & Strength series will have a HIIT (or Tabata) component combined with a strength component. The workouts in this series will range from 30-45 minutes, plus you will need to warm up on your own and cool down on your own, so plan on a 45-60 minute workout. I purposely do not film my workouts with a warm up or a cool down so that it's easier for you to combine them, if you wish. Most workouts are designed to be stacked. 🌟🌟Join me on Facebook and Youtube (link in bio) for workouts, fitness & health tips, motivation, & healthy meal planning. 🌟🌟 Train. Nourish.

MOTW - Squat With Lateral Leg Raise. Moves that challenge multiple body parts at once are a time-saving trick that helps you squeeze an effective workout into a hectic schedule. This great move engages the entire lower body. The squat is the king of all compound movements. It works your quads, core, abs, back, glutes, hamstrings, and calves. Adding a lateral leg raise, amps it up even more! The lateral raise will also work your abductor muscles, which are extremely important for daily activities and sports. This is a great move for ski conditioning! Also…it’s a super effective exercise for toning the hip area (goodbye saddle-bags)! Join me on Facebook and YouTube (link in bio) for workouts, fitness & health tips, motivation, & healthy meal plans. Train. Nourish. Transform. Technique: 1) Begin with your feet hip width apart. Chest up and shoulder’s down and back (not up by your ears). Keep your core tight. Press your buttocks back as if you are going to sit down in a chair. Track over the 2nd and 3rd toe as you squat (don’t let your knees cave in). 2) On the upwards portion of your squat, raise your leg laterally with your toe pointed downwards. Heel is in line with the glute (not too far forward or too far behind you). Brief squeeze of the glute at the top and lower your leg back down. Squat and repeat on the lateral leg raise on the other side. That’s one rep. Do a round of Tabata (20 seconds on 10 seconds off for 4 minutes), or do 3 sets of 12 reps. Tip: This is also a great bodyweight exercise. You don’t even need the dumbbells to feel the burn and see results. #fit #fitfam #fitmom #fitspo #fitbody #fitness #getfit #fitnessaddict #fitlife #fitgirl #fitnessmotivation #fitchick #fitnessjourney #igfit #fitnessfreak #fitfluential #fitnesslifestyle #fitforlife #workout #workoutvideo #weightlossjourney #weightloss #squat #bodyafterbaby #burncalories #hiit #tabata #legday #bootybuilding
