We truly want everyone to get the most from their workouts. Eating the proper food will give you the energy and stamina you need to prepare your body for the workout and to replenish it afterward.

During our morning walk today we recorded a video of a typical meal plan for the day. Check it out…

Here are some of the meals I eat to help me to SOAR through my Fit Chic Workouts:

Hello! Another awesome question…

Q: What is HIIT and how can you take action with it?

A: HIIT stands for High Intensity Interval Training. An ‘interval’ is ANY span of time, such as 30 sec., 1 min., 2 min., that you choose to perform an activity within and at a certain degree of intensity (low to high).

In our book, The Fit Chic, we recommend that you perform HIIT as your cardio component a couple of times each week. If you have a bike, outdoor or stationary, you can interval every 30 seconds. So first you would begin biking for 2 min. to warm up. Then you would pick up the pace so that you are really pushing yourself for 30 seconds (go all out here!), then you slow right down for 30 seconds, then increase for the following 30 sec…then decrease for the next 30 sec…see the pattern?

Hello everyone…hope you are all having a great day! For those of you who participated in the 21 Day Unstoppable Fat Loss Challenge - Congratulations on taking this HUGE step forward.

It has been a ‘life changing’ embarkmant for many of you and we are so happy to have been there to encourage and support all of you. Now you each have all of the ‘tools’ you need to keep moving forward! You will succeed! You are unstoppable!

We will begin TODAY to answer your weight/fat loss questions, nutrition questions, and any other questions related to your health and fitness.

Remember we are not doctors and can only answer questions to the best of our knowledge, and within our field of work.

Q: How much cardio should I be doing to achieve maximum benefits while following The Fit Chic program?

A: As we have laid out in the book, you will do 3 days of walking at a brisk pace for 30-40 minutes. We recommend going in the morning on an empty stomach. However, if that does not fit into your schedule, go when you can! We also recommend that you do at least 2 days of HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training). As you get closer to your goal weight, you can increase your cardio and go for a walk in the morning, then do HIIT training in the afternoon.

Feel free to send in your questions and/or concerns

Have a wonderful day!

Cheers to health,

Hello everyone…I just want to check in on my first day. I am once again following The Fit Chic Year of Workouts. I will be doing the 10 minute express workouts from my home. I have taken a much needed vacation from my program and feel ready to get back in a routine!

I will also be following Jon Benson’s Every Other Day Diet - Lifestyle Plan as a guide to my food choices. I know that my eating is my biggest challenge so I am looking forward to seeing the great results I have accomplished in the past from his eating plan.

This is what I have eaten today…
