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. Transform.

MOVE OF THE WEEK: Tabata bing, Tabata boom basketball jumps!!! HIIT Basketball jumps really get your heart rate soaring! It is a super efficient calorie burning total body move. This move never fails to get my heart rate up super high! The video is sped up so it doesn't look like the jumps are high, but they are - jump as high as you can while still keeping a fast pace, during the interval.

Technique:

1) From a standing position, holding a weight or weighted ball, squat partway down and take a WIDE lateral step with your right foot keeping your body low. 
2) Immediately follow with your left foot, bringing it to your right and then explosively jump vertically, extending your ams as if you are going to shoot a basket.

3) Repeat alternating directions for a 4 minute Tabata (20 seconds on 10 seconds off). Have fun!

Combat Fat Burner HIIT is the 14th workout in the Lean Body Series and it’s a another full-on calorie burn with a high after-burn effect (link in bio)! It’s a super fun one too! There is a kickboxing interval in this workout, which is always a fun way to blast that fat and tone those muscles! We're also doing 40/30 with no rest period (yes that's right 40/30!). All levels can do this, just go at your own max pace and get as many reps in as you can in the allotted interval. Take breaks as you need them. During the kickboxing interval I want you to really focus on feeling each movement and really contract your muscles. Always keep your core tight the entire time AND when you are kicking, also contract your leg. Same thing with punching - contract your arm muscles in BOTH directions. Push out and really PULL your arms and legs back in. You will really amp up your workout that way and get way more bang for your time buck! ;-) Are you ready? Let's decimate this workout and give it our all!

The workouts in the Lean Body Series are for EVERYbody - men and women of all ages and fitness levels. No matter who you are, this series will get you shredded and breaking through plateaus! Repeat 1-3 times or combine with another workout from the Lean Body Series. 
Don't forget to check in with me on Facebook and YouTube to say “hi” and tell me how you're doing! I love hearing from you guys!

Monday Motivation: I’ve always liked this quote. However, especially today it speaks to me. Today is my birthday. A day to look back and be proud of accomplishments, learn from failures, regroup, celebrate, and begin anew, hopefully armed with more wisdom. But really, if you think about it, EVERY day is an opportunity for a new start. Anyone can start from now and orchestrate a different ending. Every day we all have the opportunity of a new starting point. Every damn day! Wherever you are in your journey IS a starting point. And if every place is a starting point, then in a way every day is our birthday. How will you celebrate life today?

MORNING MOTIVATION: Remember that growth is not always linear. Progress doesn’t necessarily demand that you have a straight ascent toward perfection. Sometimes a leap forward is followed by a few steps back, sometimes we hit a peak and then fall into a valley. If you find yourself doing the cha cha towards your health and fitness goals, don’t beat yourself up! Just keep cha cha’ing along and you’ll get there.
