#LGBeautyAndBooty Challenge: Upper Body Strength (W5D5)

Happy Friday!! We shall celebrate this Flex Friday with an upper body strength training workout to tighten and sculpt a sexy and fit upper body, and feeling strong and empowered! There are a few different pieces of equipment used for this workout, so I just want to go over some quick substitutions if you’re doing this at home. For the barbell, try using a dumbbell(s) or kettlebell and for the cable, substitute in a resistance band!

Q&A Friday: Here you can find answers to two questions I loved hearing this week. These are my answers, but I would love to hear your thoughts as well, so feel free to comment any additional ideas 🙂

Q: Can I do abs everyday?
A: We should think of abs just as any other muscle group. Would you make every day leg day?! Probably not. The abdominal muscles are a thin layer of muscles that require recovery just like all the other muscle groups we train. The core is constantly being used every minute of every day: from when we turn to toss something in the garbage to engaging in a shoulder press and even in helping us balance as we walk. To maximize ab results, I would suggest intensely training abs a few times per week.

Q: Is it more important to workout daily or eat health?
A: Neither is more important. Both healthy eating and fitness play a vital role in our overall health well being and physical results. I would say the two compliment each other! Health eating, without fitness, is great, but does nothing to tighten and sculpt the body. Exercise, without nutrition, is counterproductive because during our workouts, we literally break down our muscle fibers and in order to repair and reveal results, those muscles require nutrients and elements packed into healthy foods

Over the years, I’ve found a way to see physical results through food, helping promote fat loss and getting fit. You can read all about that approach in Eat Your Way Lean
