DAY 10! ☀️ 🏋️‍♀️
The 10 Days of Summer Fitness Challenge
Complete 2 sets of the following:
NEW: 30 sec/side Loop Band Clock Taps
30 sec Loop Band Hammer Curls + 30 sec Loop Band Bicep Curls
10/side SLOW Russian Twist
30 sec Loop Band Lateral Pules + 30 sec Loop Band Rear Delt Pulses
30 sec/side Side Plank with Adductor Hold
10/side Lateral Lunges (plyometric version)
10/side Loop Band Tricep Extensions
10/side Single Leg Squat to Bench with Hop
10 Frog push-ups
10/side Bulgarian Split Squats with Lateral Rotation
Key Points:
Place the loop band just above your knees. To get the most out of this one…try to keep tension on the band at all times. 🔥 Also, by bending your balancing/posting leg and bending forward at the hip ever so slightly, you will get better glute engagement. The glute medius will feel the love! 🥰
Congratulations on the completion of 10 consecutive active summer days! 😃🎉 🙌

DAY 9! ☀️ 🏋️‍♀️
The 10 Days of Summer Fitness Challenge
Complete 2 sets of the following:
NEW: 30 sec Loop Band Hammer Curls + 30 sec Loop Band Bicep Curls
10/side SLOW Russian Twist
30 sec Loop Band Lateral Pules + 30 sec Loop Band Rear Delt Pulses
30 sec/side Side Plank with Adductor Hold
10/side Lateral Lunges (plyometric version)
10/side Loop Band Tricep Extensions
10/side Single Leg Squat to Bench with Hop
10 Frog push-ups
10/side Bulgarian Split Squats with Lateral Rotation
Key Points:
Egad! 🤢
Lifting heavier weights is indeed fun…but more time under tension and isolation of the muscle group we want to work can be just as effective (sometimes more so, if technique isn’t perfect) with heavier weight. This is an example of time under tension and isolation.
Place the loop band halfway between your elbow and wrist.
Keep your shoulder blades squeezed together to avoid internal rotation of your shoulders.
Push your forearms out laterally against the band while you simultaneously execute your hammer curls (palms face each other) and bicep curls (palms face up). Pause on each contraction to really squeeze the juice out of your oranges! 🍊 🍊
Tomorrow we will add on another exercise, building the duration and intensity of the work every day. 😅👍👍

DAY 8! ☀️ 🏋️‍♀️
The 10 Days of Summer Fitness Challenge
Complete 2 sets of the following:
NEW: 10/side SLOW Russian Twist
30 sec Loop Band Lateral Pules + 30 sec Loop Band Rear Delt Pulses
30 sec/side Side Plank with Adductor Hold
10/side Lateral Lunges (plyometric version)
10/side Loop Band Tricep Extensions
10/side Single Leg Squat to Bench with Hop
10 Frog push-ups
10/side Bulgarian Split Squats with Lateral Rotation
Key Points:
Try to keep your torso as straight as you can on this one (maintain a neutral spine). I think about pushing my chest out slightly (without arching my low back) when doing this.
Slowly rotate to one side, pause for 2 seconds, then rotate to the other side. The pausing will light up your obliques, requiring no additional weight, so you can complete these anywhere, with zero equipment.
Tomorrow we will add on another exercise, building the duration and intensity of the work every day. 😅👍👍

07/17/2022

DAY 7! ☀️ 🏋️‍♀️
The 10 Days of Summer Fitness Challenge
Complete 2 sets of the following:
NEW: 30 sec Loop Band Lateral Pules + 30 sec Loop Band Rear Delt Pulses
30 sec/side Side Plank with Adductor Hold
10/side Lateral Lunges (plyometric version)
10/side Loop Band Tricep Extensions
10/side Single Leg Squat to Bench with Hop
10 Frog push-ups
10/side Bulgarian Split Squats with Lateral Rotation
Key Points:
Place the band halfway between your elbow and wrist for both exercises.
Keep your shoulder blades slightly squeezed together to prevent your shoulders from internally rotating.
Maintain tension on the loop band the entire time for maximum benefit. To do this…pulse outward but do not let the band lose tension as you pulse back in. The movement in both exercises is very small…just enough to give the lateral and rear delts a little kiss of love with each contraction..🔥🔥💕
Tomorrow we will add on another exercise, building the duration and intensity of the work every day. 😅👍👍

07/16/2022

DAY 6! ☀️ 🏋️‍♀️
The 10 Days of Summer Fitness Challenge
Complete 2 sets of the following:
NEW: 30 sec/side Side Plank with Adductor Hold
10/side Lateral Lunges (plyometric version)
10/side Loop Band Tricep Extensions
10/side Single Leg Squat to Bench with Hop
10 Frog push-ups
10/side Bulgarian Split Squats with Lateral Rotation
Key Points:
Oh my word. This is HARD. 🔥 😳
Keep your balancing elbow underneath your shoulder and push down into the floor to engage your lats on that bottom side. This helps reduce collapsing into the shoulder, and prevents injury.
Push down with your balancing foot and feel the insanity of tension in your adductors. It’s hard to think about anything else! In fact…if you have any worries or stress…do THIS exercise and all will be forgotten!
Try as best as you can to keep your hips stacked on top of one another (vs rotating forward or backward). You body will want to take the “easy” way out by tipping backward…don’t let it!
Tomorrow we will add on another exercise, building the duration and intensity of the work every day. 😅👍👍

07/15/2022

DAY 5! ☀️ 🏋️‍♀️
The 10 Days of Summer Fitness Challenge
Complete 2 sets of the following:
NEW: 10/side Lateral Lunges (plyometric version)
10/side Loop Band Tricep Extensions
10/side Single Leg Squat to Bench with Hop
10 Frog push-ups
10/side Bulgarian Split Squats with Lateral Rotation
Key Points:
Be sure to lower down using your legs, not your back. You will need to fold forward in order to touch the floor, but remember this is a leg exercise (careful with your low back). With every lunge one leg will be bent at 90 degrees and the other will be straight out to the side. Try to keep both feet facing forward (parallel) to help include the adductors into this delightful exercise!
Tomorrow we will add on another exercise, building the duration and intensity of the work every day. 😅👍👍

07/14/2022

DAY 4! ☀️ 🏋️‍♀️
The 10 Days of Summer Fitness Challenge
Complete 2 sets of the following:
NEW: 10/side Loop Band Tricep Extensions
10/side Single Leg Squat to Bench with Hop
10 Frog push-ups
10/side Bulgarian Split Squats with Lateral Rotation
Key Points:
Ouch! For such a small movement, this burns! 🔥
Keep your shoulder blades slightly squeezed together, stand tall, and be sure your shoulders do not roll forward (avoid internal rotation).
Fully extend your arm and pause until you feel the triceps squeeze. This is where the magic happens! Those lemons need to be tight to get juiced! 🍋 🙌
Tomorrow we will add on another exercise, building the duration and intensity of the work every day. 😅👍👍

07/13/2022

DAY 3! ☀️ 🏋️‍♀️
The 10 Days of Summer Fitness Challenge
Complete 2 sets of the following:
NEW: 10/side Single Leg Squat to Bench with Hop
10 Frog push-ups
10/side Bulgarian Split Squats with Lateral Rotation
Key Points:
Start seated on a sturdy bench or chair and try to maintain a 90 degree angle at your knee. The closer your foot comes in toward the bench, the easier this exercise becomes.
Speed is not what we are after here. Maintaining balance during the hop is the key to this exercise so we can utilize the glutes meds for stabilization. This is a toughie! Take your time! 😅 🔥
Tomorrow we will add on another exercise, building the duration and intensity of the work every day. 😅👍👍

07/12/2022

DAY 2! ☀️ 🏋️‍♀️
The 10 Days of Summer Fitness Challenge
Complete 2 sets of the following:
NEW: 10 Frog push-ups
10/side Bulgarian Split Squats with Lateral Rotation
Key Points:
This is more of a shoulder exercise than a chest exercise. By diving through (forward/past) your hands you will engage the anterior shoulders a GREAT deal!! The chest and triceps still play a roll, but it’s the shoulders we are after on this one.
Tomorrow we will add on another exercise, building the duration and intensity of the work every day. 😅👍👍

07/11/2022

DAY 1! ☀️ 🏋️‍♀️
The 10 Days of Summer Fitness Challenge!
Complete 2 sets of the following:
10/side Bulgarian Split Squats with Lateral Rotation
Key Points:
Tap the lateral aspect of your balancing heel on each repetition with your opposing hand. If this feels a little too deep, or your balance is thrown off too much, strive for the lateral aspect of your calf as an alternative.
Tomorrow we will add on another exercise, building the duration and intensity of the work every day. 😅👍👍

Hey there! ☀️
Just finished filming the 10 Days of Summer Fitness Challenge! 🙌 😅
Stay tuned for the kickoff on Monday, July 11! 🎉
Everyday, for 10 consecutive days and .hf will post a new exercise. In 10 days you will have a full body workout that requires little space, and very little equipment. 😁
The purpose of this challenge is to:
1. Provide new exercise ideas/variations.
2. Help you maintain your fitness routine, no matter where you are (camping, hotel, backyard, park, etc). All that is needed is your body weight and one mini/loop band. (You can buy these on Amazon or any fitness store)
3. Offer something the entire family can try together.
Have a great rest of your weekend!

Sometimes you win, and sometimes the mountain wins! 🤷‍♀️
See those clouds in the background? Those came fast and furious and caused us some serious trouble on Chimborazo. 🙈
But, we made it down safe and sound, and that’s what matters. Almost 6000m in elevation…300m shy of the summit. It was a glorious and grueling climb…one I’m so grateful to have had the chance to attempt!
🇪🇨

After two years of treadmill incline walking (with my backpack) in the hopes of maintaining a little of my “mountain fitness” during covid…I made it! It was HARD…and an absolutely fantastic experience. I kept saying “Pole-Pole” in my head…over and over and over…and over. 😅 🏔
Ecuador provided me with INCREDIBLE weather. May 24, 2022: Cotapaxi Summit (5897m)
A big thank you to my guide, Juan. He was an amazing leader and an equally good Spanish teacher. “We will only speak Spanish, so you can learn.” He was right!
These trips remind me every time how nothing you really want in life comes easy. You have to put in the work, be consistent, stay positive, and trust the process. Whatever “mountain” you’re climbing…keep at it! You can only move forward if you keep momentum. That’s my philosophical mountain mind talking! Happens every time. 🥰
As always, enjoy the grind, and be free!
