Do you enjoy doing your monthly Fit Snack workouts, but want to make them even more effective?
We love exploring new exercise strategies – it really helps to keep inspiration high and boredom low.
Let’s start with discussing strategies for Circuit training. Blasting fat, building strength and full body sculpting can all be achieved with just a few adjustments to interval timing and exercise.
Our friends at Fitness Magazine, have done an excellent job breaking down these strategies. In summary,
- Melting fat and firming muscles can be achieved by rotating between 1 minute of strength exercise and 1 minute of cardio. You can do approx. Choose 5 strength exercises (pushups, squats etc.) and 5 cardio exercises (jumping jacks, high knees, butt kickers etc.). Complete the circuit 3 times! It’s that easy!
- Sculpt all over by doing 6 strength exercises for 1 minute each. Don’t rest in between and complete the circuit 3 times.
- Bust Boredom and blast calories by doing 5 minutes of low, medium and high intensity cardio. Rest for 10 seconds between each interval and complete the circuit two times. To get really fancy, change your cardio options for the 2nd time through. Some of our favorite cardio options include: walking uphill, stairs, and jump roping.
- Remember to respect your fitness level and adjust each of these exercises as best for you and your body.
Learn more and view detailed exercise examples at Fitness Magazine.
Now that your exercise game is on point, lets talk about habits. The most important thing to success is making a habit out of it. We love the way that Fit Girl’s Diary sums up the the list of Fit Girl Habits. Here are the top 5 and they apply to both Women and Men:
- Always workout on Mondays
- Always eat a healthy breakfast. Did you know breakfast is the first and best opportunity to get your greens and veggies?
- Workout 5 times a week, change it up with our circuit training recommendations above!
- Prioritize Proteins. We recommend whole food protein and supplementing with some of your favorite Fit Snack brands like SunFresh Proteins or Fizzique when your in a crunch for time!
- Start your day with water! A favorite water bottle or big glass pitcher infused with fruit or lemons keeps it refreshing!
To read up on all 25 Fit Girl Habits, visit Fit Girl’s Diary.
Don’t forget that fuel and nutrition are the most important part of your Fitness Journey. After all, abs are made in the kitchen. When you don’t have quite enough time to cook, Fit Snack is here for you! Check out all of the goods in this month’s Fit Snack Box:

A New Years Resolution should be doable as in realistic, challenging, FUN and meaningful. As long as it is important to you that you achieve this, then that’s all that matters. Your drive will determine your success. The small goals you set along the way will set the foundation for making your resolution your reality.
On the way to a better you
Choosing a resolution consider attempting something you know will make you a better you. In the end you will be a happier and more disciplined. This means you will be able to achieve more in your life with ease. Life is hard, yes that’s a fact. Setting a resolution that makes you stronger physically, mentally or emotionally (or all three) will make everything easier.
See the small steps to success
It’s better to focus on small goals leading up to your larger goal because if you only focus on the end result you won’t embrace the journey. Envision the steps leading up to success. Each step is a crucial part of that success. Rome was not built in a day. Expect greatness from yourself, but lay the foundation for success that’s what the steps are.
Choose the snacks that support your goals!
Is your goal to make the nutritional changes that will give you more energy in your everyday life?

ite Organic Fruit and Nut Bar: Looking for a snack that car seriously fill you up? Raw Bite has you covered.

Ricaroons Coconut Energy Bar: Ricaroons has somehow managed to make their protein bars taste more like a dessert than a healthy snack. Ricaroons uses three different forms of coconut: coconut oil, coconut flakes, and coconut palm nectar. Coconut digests smoothly, converting to energy with a minimal insulin effect. This means that with coconut comes consistent energy rather than a spike and crash like from most other sugars. Each bar is nutrient-packed that provides long lasting energy and they are the perfect snack for anyone on-the-go. They even have Pumpkin Spice flavor for the fall!

A clean cookie made with love and whole food ingredients
Rickaroons are made with love…by Rick. These nutrient packed treats taste like dessert, so you know they are made with lots of love. What you wouldn’t know is that each Rickaroon only has 4-5 ingredients. The ingredients list is as beautiful and healthy as it is tasty!
Inspired by love.
The love of being healthy and the love for a special woman. Rick set out to simply create a healthy comforting treat for a loved one during her battle with Multiple Sclerosis. Over time he perfected his recipe to make an on-the-go snack that is as simple as it is sweet. Designed to fuel workouts and satisfy cravings, the combination of coconut, nut butters, and chocolate does both perfectly!
The Rickaroon line now has 5 delicious flavors so you can have one for every occasion.
- Chocolate Blonde
- Peanut Butter Protein
- Mint to be – Mint Double Chocolate
- Mocha – Double Chocolate Espresso
- Megaroon – Superfood filled = Chia Seeds + Cocoa Nibs Today Rickaroons is a family run business and it’s a special team effort to bring these beautifully crafted treats to you.
Beautiful Ingredients for a beautiful life.
Only 6-8 ingredients. I bet your wondering “What can they be and why beautiful?”
All Rickaroons flavors are built around coconut. Every flavor includes 3 forms of coconut – Shredded Coconut, Coconut Palm Nectar, and Coconut Oil. Combine the coconut with Almond Butter or Peanut Butter, a hint of Vanilla, and sustainably sourced dark chocolate and you get perfection. Some of the key ingredients you will see here are high in antioxidants, and combined they make for an anti-aging friendly treat. Antioxidants primarily serve to fight damage to your cells (the oxidation process) whether caused by stress or imbalances. So relax and enjoy a Rickaroon in your August Fit Snack box. Warning: Rickaroons may cause big smiles, happy taste buds, and a healthy body.
Rickaroons are Certified:
