#LGBeautyAndBooty Challenge: Lower Body Volume (W6D1)

First things first, did y’all see that supermoon/eclipse?? I’m not much into astrology, but I read a pretty cool article on the supermoon, which explained that for those who believe, it’s symbolizes a pretty radical shift in energy to a more heart-centered way of being.

And from that I gathered…WE ARE ABOUT TO GAIN SOME SERIOUS MOMENTUM AND DO SOME PRETTY AWESOME THINGS WITH OUR LIVES! At least…that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. If you’re on board for that, then, welcome to week 6 where things are igniting, starting with a legs & booty workout!

WORKOUT NOTE: remember that for all unilateral movements (i.e.: cable side raises) 20 reps is for 20 reps on each side

Meal Prep Monday: THE THREE WAY MEAL PREP….it’s a horrible name for it ((I’m so sorry lol)) but it’s what I call one of my go-to meal preps for those weeks where time is not on my side. I’m hoping that these meal prep tips and my overall style of meal prepping redefines what you probably initially though it to be. Meal prepping seems a bit overwhelming when it’s thought of as cooking for 7 days of meals with 5 meals per day and arranging them in containers to eat reheats meal after meal…no thank you. My goal is to help you learn a meal prep style that makes healthy eating that much easier, helping your results come natually! Okay, so now that we’ve cleared that up, we better get to the three way meal prep because I bet it will make cooking up a few meals ahead of time a breeze for you ((and even the fam)). Here’s how it goes….

The Three Way Meal Prep Steps:
(1) Pick ONE type of meat ((ex: ground turkey, chicken, fish, lean ground beef)) & chop it up into bite-sized pieces
(2) Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Then, take extra aluminum foil and roll/press it to form a long stick to serve as a divider on the baking sheet ((make 2 of these))
Divide the chicken into 3 equal parts and add 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil or melted coconut oil to each section of chicken
(3) Select THREE types of seasonings or three different combinations of seasonings & season each of the chicken sections
I like to select 1- lemon pepper seasoning & onion powder 2- chili powered, paprika & chopped fresh cilantro 3- minced garlic, Italian seasoning & a sprinkle of parmesan cheese
(4) Add the seasoned pieces of chicken to the baking sheet using the two dividers to separate them
(5) Bake at 400 degrees F for 20-25 minutes
((exact cook time will depend on amount of chicken & size of pieces… smaller pieces obviously cook much faster :))

    I think there is an error in the image..2 of the moves are titled stiff leg deadlifts. Just thought I'd let you know 🙂
