Challenge of the Day. Chair Dips!!!

After yesterdays workout with #darenutritionfitclass I think its time for some upper body workouts.  Cardio and core was amazing.

Todays challenge we will be focusing on our arms, triceps.  We begin by grabbing a chair, preferably one without wheels :), and begin our challenge.

3 sets of 15 will be todays challenge.  Resting 20 seconds between reps.  Good form with at least a 90 degree bend at the elbows! 

Advanced workout fitties can do 3 sets of 25.  Oh yeah!!!













Have you had your protein shake today?  Try the blueberry cheesecake!  DareNutrition

Challenge of the Day

Okay Fitties!!!

Let's get that antioxidant snack in that body of yours!

Some Ideas for you:

Blueberries are not only popular, but also repeatedly ranked in the U.S. diet as having one of the highest antioxidant capacities among all fruits, vegetables, spices and seasonings. Antioxidants are essential to optimizing health by helping to combat the free radicals that can damage cellular structures as well as DNA.





Green tea is the least processed and thus provides the most antioxidant polyphenols, notably a catechin called epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), which is believed to be responsible for most of the health benefits linked to green tea.
