TOO FIT too quit 💪🏼
How you recover can be argued as being even more important than how you train. Muscle growth begins the moment you stop lifting. Muscles don’t grow in the gym; they grow after – in the repair/recovery process. Which is why you need a BULLETPROOF PRE and POST regiment. My friends at @toofit sent me their PRE and POST Nutrition; that they created after seeing the lack of products with natural ingredients and trustworthy; being offered on shelves. The Too Fit Guys, are NATURALLY AWESOME and leading the game to help improve human health and performance through their products, blog, and podcast. Jake and Josh know that life requires full range of motion so one can exceed all perceived limitations.

TOO FIT POST, helps speed recovery along with repairing and rebuilding muscle tissue that is teared during exercise. Grass-fed whey protein that is easy to digest with no bloating or upset stomach like other protein powders. And assists in joint health with added collagen peptides and curcumin. Plus, the signature flavor, Vanilla Cinnamon is SOOO GOOD.

TOO FIT PRE, is a stimulant free pre-workout, with organic adaptogens, that helps the body acclimate to any stress, aka working out. Provides energy to push through workouts, fueling the mind, and with no pesky jitter side effects. Their products come guaranteed with no added sugar.

@bobgoff said it best, “God never promised we’d have all the answers. What He offers to us is a box of crayons and the opportunity to let love draw bigger circles around the people we meet than they thought were possible.” So this is me with my box of sharpened crayons drawing huge ASS-tastic circles around the ones I love 💗

I #fangirl for Kristin Martz. Through knowing Kristin, I have learned so much about passion, determination, and GRIT - bring BRAVE and BOLD in the face of adversity. I remember one night we shared in Germany during Oktoberfest, I witnessed how special this woman was and how much I saw myself in her. She has a heart of gold, and an intense love for life. Her spirit is fierce and full of fire. I have seen her evolve as an individual, a daughter, a friend, a CrossFit athlete, and as a coach. I am proud of the woman she has become and so thankful I had a chance to met her all those years ago in the desert. She has inspired me to use BEYOUTIFULLY BULLETPROOF for something more than myself. Kristin is a part of my Trifecta. My Family. We share a tattoo And we most likely have been banned from the Kaiserslautern Zoo for stalking a SLOTH. (Dude, it was a SLOTH. You would do it too). Even though we are separated by miles (oh and continents), not a day goes by that I don’t thank God for putting Kristin in my life.

Without further ado, I introduce to you my #fangirlyoufriend FriYAY, Kristin Martz aka @fembotk18

Start A Change with A Single Step 👟
Walking, is one of the easiest forms of exercise. Something as simple as a brisk walk can help you live a healthier life. Adding a brisk 15-20 minute walk to your day can aid in maintaining a healthy weight, lowering the risk of chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease, protect joints, improve gastric motility, and most importantly can improve one’s mood and lower stress levels. Over the past few months, I have become guilty of living the sedentary office life and find myself sitting more than I should or like to. Starting today, for next 6 weeks I am challenging myself to stay more active through the day and track my steps. My goals include continuous movement throughout my day such as a brisk walk outside or even remembering to stand once per hour. Join me these next 6 weeks starting today, April 16th to May 27th in this Step Challenge; and walk your way to a happier, healthier self! I will be posting my daily steps in my InstaStory each night with the hashtag #onesinglestep2018
.
To join me these next 6 weeks post your step total for the day in your InstaStory, tag me and use the hashtag #onesinglestep2018.
.
p.s. Keep in mind: There is about 2,000 steps in a mile and about 10,000 steps in 5 miles.

Plant Based Protein 🌱
For a fit and healthy lifestyle, one habit that can work for anyone is eating plant-based. Plant-based eating: abundant in vegetables, some fruit, nuts and seeds, moderation of sugar and starch, and lean sources of animal products. Research has proven eating plant-based foods can lower your risk of chronic diseases, such as, obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. Also improves collagen production and helping your skin look healthier, promotes healthy gut bacteria, and is good for the environment. Adding plant-based proteins creates variety in dishes and provides a balance of nutrients, and adds POW to your meal prepping.
.
💥POW! Pasta, packs a protein punch from plant-based sources such as red and green lentils. The Red Lentil Rotini and Red Lentil Linguine provide 25g of protein and 7g of fiber per serving; and contain only two ingredients Red Lentil Flour and Quinoa Flour. Incorporating lentils into meals can increase your energy levels by replenishing iron stores, a key component of hemoglobin and enzyme in energy production.

Add your BANZA chickpea pasta to vegetables high in protein, such as broccoli.
