Hey FBG Girls!

How has your summer been? I hope you’re enjoying the warm weather and all the fun that usually comes with it!

Or maybe you’re in the same boat as we are where it’s almost TOO hot to go outdoors most hours of the day. 😅 Personally I’m looking forward to the slightly cooler, fall weather so we can be outdoors more!

PLUS, the end of summer means… the next Fit Body Fall Challenge is here!!

This is one of the best times of the year to recommit to your fitness goals and lifestyle. Even though I’d argue “now” is always the best time, and “now” can be any time of the year. 😉

But I know how busy the summer months can get, which can throw us off our normal routine. So with fall approaching and many of us needing to get back into the swing of things, a challenge can be just what you need to make that happen!

So let’s do this! You deserve it. You’ll feel SO GOOD after each workout. And I know you can find 20-30 minutes in your day a few times a week to prioritize yourself! That’s all it takes. It doesn’t have to be extreme, just consistent.

And guess what... we’re picking SIX winners from the upcoming 10 Week Fall Challenge!! 

 

Here’s what you need to know:

HOW TO JOIN: 

STEP 1: TAKE YOUR STARTING PROGRESS PHOTOS

Email your starting photos (front, side, and back photos) to transformations@fitbodyapp.com by September 10th. 

Include your FBG Insta handle and which program you’re following, so we can help you stay accountable and keep track of your progress! P.S. We will never share progress photos without your explicit permission. ❤️

At the end of the challenge, email your final photos (in the same outfit and the same angles) by November 19th.

TIPS: How to Take Progress Photos

• Ask someone you trust to take your photos, or use a tripod and camera with a timer, or find a full-length mirror that fits your body from head to toe.
• Take the picture in natural lighting with no shadows and a solid-color background.
• Wear shorts/underwear/bikini bottoms and a sports bra or bikini top, and try to wear the same outfit in your starting and ending photos.
• Take one set of photos relaxed and one set flexing – but maintain good posture in both.
• Take photos from the front, side and back each time.
• Take a new set of progress photos every four weeks after the challenge ends to see your continued improvements.

 

STEP 2: COMMIT TO A WORKOUT SCHEDULE

Creating a schedule will help you prioritize and plan your workouts. At the very least, we suggest working out 3x a week for 30 minutes.

In the Fit Body App, we have 20 results-driven workout programs that you can do anywhere, anytime. Whether you have three days or six days a week to devote to your fitness routine, there’s an option for you.

 

STEP 3: STAY ON TOP OF YOUR NUTRITION

It can be difficult to figure out what healthy eating looks like for you (and to actually stick to that plan), but thankfully there are more than 300 recipes and 72 weeks of meal plans in the Fit Body App!

Regardless of the meal plan or eating style you choose to follow, here are some tips to consider when completing this challenge that will help maximize your results:

1. If you are not tracking your macros, aim to eat your protein and veggies first.
2. Focus on home cooked meals and limit take-outs to 1x per week.
3. Focus on 80/20 nutrition: 80% of the time, opt for macro balanced meals (meaning high protein, moderate carb and moderate fats with a solid serving of veggies, too!) and 20% of the time enjoy yummy, indulgent foods! 

P.S. If you struggle with over-indulging, there may be an underlying reason why. You get free consultations with a Registered Dietitian included in your membership, so shoot her a quick email with a bit about you and your eating habits so we can help! Her email is nutrition@fitbodyapp.com.

 

STEP 4: JOIN THE FBG COMMUNITY

Weekly check-ins with the Fit Body community are a big part of this challenge. So, we’ll be catching up with you on the Fit Body IG and in our Facebook Community Group on a regular basis. You can always email us your questions at any time or save them for these check-ins where you can read and get feedback from Anna and other FBG girls, too!

You got this! 💪🏻

*Note: To qualify for the grand prize, you must be a Fit Body app member and submit your starting photos by September 10th and ending photos by November 19th, for a chance to win. The winner will be chosen on December 3rd, 2023.
