Squat Challenge completed

I DID IT!! Finally finished the 30 day squat challenge. Today was the last day and it feels great that I accomplished it. I can really feel a difference. My butt feels more toned and firm, and  last week I wanted more of a challenge, so I started using 7.5 pound weights to get more of a work out. I didn't use weights every day during the 30 days, but when I did start using weights I could really feel the difference. It took a lot of motivation to get myself to do it but I'm so glad I finished it!! The plank challenge I'm still working on, it's more difficult than I thought. I don't have a lot of core strength, due to my pregnancy (moms you probably know what I mean.) I'm still working up to 5 minutes but I'm not going to give up! I'm now up to about 2 1/2 to 3 minute plank right now. If you do ever try these challenge don't give up! It will pay off!

Happy! 

 I'll update you guys later on a new work outs and what I've been eating the past few weeks to help me stay fit and get the toned body I've been wanting. 

update

Seriously the squat challenge... SO HARD! I do feel a difference though! I'm on day 17 and I have to motivate myself to do every single squat! It's a great feeling though when I'm done though. What I've been doing to be able to do all the squats is that I will break the squats into sets. When I'm at home I will do it through out the day. I also do some kind of work out video. When I make it to the gym I will add 5 pound weights to get a deeper work out. After each set of squats I do, I will then go on the stair machine for 5 minutes. I can really feel it working and feel that my butt is getting more firm!! 

day 17

 The plank challenge is getting more tough. It isn't as hard as the squat challenge that's for sure! 

I'm up to 2 minutes right now. I also do other core strengthening work outs to build up my abs. 

I can feel the muscle in my stomach but I know it will be awhile till it shows. I still have the mommy belly and know getting my stomach back will take a little bit longer. 

Squat and plank challenge

So, I've tried the squat challenge a few times. I will do it the first few days, then lose my motivation to finish the 30 days. I really want to accomplish the 30 day squat challenge!! I found the Plank challenge to try out as well. Hopefully, I will be able to finish both challenges! Wish me luck! I would love to hear feedback if anyone has tried this or if you want to do the challenge with me. I would love that! 

I'm on day three right now. This is the picture of what I look like right now. I will update the picture after I make it half way to show how my progress is going.

Another great way to get your booty firm is the stair machine or incline on the treadmill. 

I have stairs outside my house, which is way nice! I can feel the burn going up and down the stairs. Yesterday I had Liam with me and that made it more of a challenge with a 20 something pound baby strapped onto me. 

good work out!

For the moms at home if you have stairs in your home that will work to! 

See how many times you can go up and down. I would keep doing it till you feel a good burn.

The plank challenge is also 30 days to work towards being able to do a plank for 5 min.

This is what I look like right now. I will also post a picture half way through this challenge to show my progress. 

 I won't just be doing the plank challenge to work my Abs out. I will still continue doing other daily work outs to improve my stomach. 

Join my if you want and let me know how it goes for you!
