For this week’s combo pack (meal plan & 5 workouts):
I never used to like to train back, until someone put it like this to me: “the more you work on your back, specifically your lats, the smaller your waist will look.” Done! 😉

Tip of the Day: Going back to Tuesday’s tip of the day, regularly drinking water was one of the healthy habits I’ve formed. Previously, I liked fruit water drinks (Fruit20, Propel), Gatorade, occasional soda, etc. This is actually a healthy habit where I suggest to proceed with caution, and I will share with you the steps/order I formed this habit. Instead of cutting out all types of “unhealthy drinks,” I first introduced healthy alternatives. I began drinking plain water, water with fresh lemon juice, and fruit infused water. This allowed me to like healthy alternatives without feeling bereft of the drinks I knew and love. Then, I made a conscious effort to choose good over bad. Here is where many individuals stumble in forming healthy habits; instead of completely cutting out the bad, think of enjoying in moderation. So, during the day I would chose healthy options, then in the evening I would treat myself to a crystal lite packet of pink lemonade. Eventually, I learned to reach for the good over the chemical-containing, unhealthy drinks 99% of the time. If there is a habit you struggle to form, take slow steps so that it becomes a habit you can stick with long-term.

Hi Lauren I just purchased your fit for life e-book the gym version. So far I'm loving it! But I do have a question because on today's workout (phase 1 Thursday A workout) one of the exercises is "plate front raises" but there wasn't a picture demonstration so I was unsure on how to do it. I did dumbbell front raises instead but I just thought I'd let you know! Thanks for all the motivation and amazing tips! You are by far the best fitness blogger I have come across!! 🙂
Oh no, that's definitely a typo! I cannot tell you how many times I re-read that entire book, yet I don't catch everything. Thank you so much!
