I am a fitness junkie, a sneaker connoisseur, a lover of anything pink, a daily you tube user, and a certified personal trainer and group x instructor. It is my mission to show each client, gym member and class participant just what their bodies can do. My fitness philosophy is focused around "What can your body do?", changing the focus from what we look like to how our bodies perform and function. The Fitness with a Purpose Newsletter and Blog is a place where you can find tips, tools, and tactics on how to make fitness a lifestyle and maximize each workout and meal to enable you to become as fit and healthy as possible. This is also a place where I share my personal experiences with my own fitness and quest to see just what my body can do when I set a goal and do what ever is possible to achieve that goal. Consistent action produces consistent results!

Nutrition Shape Up Challenge #2



Last week we focused on drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day. Go to http://www.mangosteen-natural-remedies.com/benefits-of-drinking-water.html to read about the top 11 benefits of drinking water.

This week we will focus on limiting the intake of sodium in our diets. Too much sodium intake in our daily diets can lead to an increase risk of heart disease, cancer, obesity, vascular disease, and other health related problems associated with diet.

CHALLENGE #2:

DO NOT USE THE SALT SHAKER THIS WEEK AND LIMIT THE SODIUM MG TO 400 OR LOWER WHEN CONSUMING FROZEN ENTREES OR BOXED FOOD
