90 Miles in 2 Months CHALLENGE

Are you ready to kick your butt into gear? Tomorrow is May 1st! Summer will be here before you know it so what better time then now to throw down a challenge.

We want you to go 90 miles in the next two months......now what does that mean. If your ready to reach your fitness goals than you need to get active. So taking a walk every day, walking the dog, going for a jog, taking a spin class, taking a HIT or CrossFit class, anything! Just getting active and staying active for the next 61 days.

How does that average mile wise per day.......about 1.5 a day. How can you calculate that if your not actually walking everyday? Easy!

10 minutes of exercise (unless your running or walking) = 1 mile

So a 30 minute spin class= 3 miles
45 minute total body class = 4.5 miles
2 mile walk = 2 miles
3 mile run = 3 miles

Every time you complete a mile, check it off the chart and see if you can complete 90 by June 30th!

Download your chart here, print it out and put it up somewhere to remind yourself to get out there and be active!

Substitution of the Month: Peanut Butter (Plus a link to a healthy peanut butter brownie)

SUBSTITUTION OF THE MONTH:

INSTEAD of peanut butter or reduced-fat peanut butter try Natural Peanut Butter or Almond Butter.
You may think, peanut butter is healthy, BUT are you reading the label? Most peanut butters have a ton of added sugars and artificial junk which means added FAT! The ingredients should simply say peanuts or almonds, nothing else! Natural peanut butter (preferably unsalted) provides the same sweetness without all the extra yuck. Peanut butter can be a great snack with celery, a great addition to your oatmeal, or your smoothie. If you want an even healthier version of peanut butter, try PB2. Even Target now sells PB2.

Check out this recipe for Healthy PB2 Brownies. You could use peanut butter if you don't have PB2 but I would only use 1/2 a cup.
