“It’s not about getting Fit for Summer it’s about getting Fit for Life” – The Fit Snack Sisters
We hope you enjoyed the April Fit Snack line up as much as we enjoyed curating this box for you!
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!
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.

Herbal Strategy is “your guide to foods that heal”. A renowned chef is behind the creation of this super food blend, he ensures each ingredient is the highest quality.

The PATH is designed for general health & wellness and is made of raw berries, fruits, roots and greens all together in one concentrated, synergistic blend. These super foods are considered some of the best natural remedies on the planet.

Herbal Strategy is more than information and fun facts it is also a community where you can learn as well as share your love of super foods.
We have a little secret to share, since you’ve read this far you deserve to be in on it. The November Fit Snack box will have another Herbal Strategy solution. Stay tuned to find out what’s to come. We promise it’s full of great health benefits and is well worth the wait.

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.
