Me: “Yup, you should do the 6-week challenge, it’ll give you a boost”

Heather: “Ok, let’s do it!”

And the rest is history.
Congratulations, Heather and thanks for the inspiration, you’re killing it! 🤩

6-week challenge success story


You can do anything
You can be anything you want to be
As long as you believe in yourself and work hard.
Leticia decided to kickstart her journey with the 6-week challenge and grabbed the momentum by the horns and kept things rolling into a wonderful transformation.
Congratulations, Leticia!

“I starved myself, drank green smoothies, I worked out all the time, but I never lost weight…”



Andrea was tired of living an unhappy and dissatisfied life when she heard about S&J Fitness and Kickboxing
She was at the point where she had enough of dealing with:

😔 A negative body image
😤 Clothes not fitting
🫥 Feeling sad and insecure to where she didn’t want to socialize
😮‍💨 Feeling sluggish

Overall, Andrea just felt disappointed with who she had become and not living her fullest potential. Fear and doubt were still trying to keep her from starting her transformation with the 6-week challenge…

❓…Will I be able to follow the plan?...
❓…Is my coach actually knowledgeable?....
❓…I’ve tried everything already, nothing worked, why would this?...

Luckily, Andrea chose to let her faith be bigger than her fears, because she has been able to:

📉 Go from 224 ➡️ 166 after kickstarting things with the 6-week challenge…
💪 Feel empowered and become more outgoing
🤓 Learn how to not only lose weight, but keep it off

She says one of her biggest breakthroughs was being able to enjoy the holidays but not gaining weight. It truly changed her relationship with food into a positive experience 🤗

“I have way surpassed my goal of being under 200 and really can say that there is no better investment than investing in yourself”

Andrea says mindset is everything on this journey:

MINDSET

The driving force in the quest for success and and achievement. A mindset that combines discipline, strength, confidence and ambition is a powerful mindset. This can achieve anything it sets its sights on. A powerful mind can achieve anything.

Let’s celebrate Andrea’s mindset and all her awesomeness!!!

Coach Danni workout out because it's her stress released and she likes that it makes her feel strong and confident.

Hey BESTFITFAMEVER :)

Trainer Andy here!!! I know eating healthier can be a challenge sometimes but here are 6 ways I think can help you out!

1. Include a form of protein (lean meats, poultry, fish & seafood, eggs, and dairy products)

2. Eat 2-3 veggies and fruits

3. Drink water: half of your body weight

4. When it comes to eating, USE HAND PORTION METHOD for portion sizing. For instance, a cup hand for rice, palm size for carbs and for protein & veggies fist size and thumb size for fats.

5. Once in a while, include foods with low but okay value that taste delicious

6. Most importantly do not feel deprived!

Hope this helps, what are some ways you eat healthier? Comment below :)

Hey S&J fam here is our Accountability Coach SARAH!!!!

What is exactly is an accountability coach?
An accountability coach is someone who believes in you. They are a someone who builds a plan for your own personal needs and helps you get the results you want! Additionally an accountability coach helps you get out of the comfort zone, gives you challenges to face and helps you fall in love with yourself again!

SO HERE ARE 5 TIPS FROM OUR ACCOUNTABILITY COACH

1. Be consistent with steps water and eating to plan!

2. This a journey on progress not perfection

3. Having a healthy mindset leads to success and results

4. Progress pictures tell you more about your journey than standing on the scale

5. Getting out of the comfort zone is a risk - but are you willing to take it to get the results you deserve?

6. Not sure I understood the assignment but let me know if this works

🏋🏽‍♀️ 7 Quick Stretches For Stress Relief 🏋🏽‍♀️

1.Child pose: Your lower back is a prime place for the body to hold tension. Stretches like this one, which elongates the back, release low back tightness and stiffness.

2. Seated Spinal Twist: A spinal twist combines a deep breath with a twisting motion, like wringing the stress out of your spine as you would wring water out of a wet towel.

3. Happy Baby: The benefit of this stretch is that it will help open your hips, which is a common reason for a tight back. We seriously create poor body positions every day from sitting too long. Stretches like this aid in chronic back pain.

4.Lying Glute Stretch: This stretch is good for putting some movement into your lower back, especially if you’ve been sitting still. You will have to get up and find a spot to lie down. (Remember taking a brief break from whatever you’re doing can help relieve stress, too. )

5.Wide Legged Forward Fold With Chest Compression:This stretch targets your upper and lower body. It’s especially great for tight hamstrings (common in walkers and runners), as well as tight chest and shoulder muscles (common if you often sit at a desk typing).

6.Chest Opener Stretch: This is a great at-your-desk stretch when you need a quick release. This stretch promotes proper posture and releases tension through your chest.

7.Rotational Neck Stretch:Reacting to stress by tensing up your neck and scalp muscles can trigger a tension headache. To keep healthy flexion in your neck and let go of tightness.
