Fall is the perfect time to get back to routine and proper eating if you’ve been ‘out to lunch’ with your nutrition plan. One of the biggest downfalls for many is lunch time, what to have?
By the way…if you need to have accountability, that is, me hanging over your shoulder checking on what you have for lunch and every other meal for 6 weeks to help you meet your fitness and fat loss goals, then check out my transformation program called Shawna 24/7. This program is for action takers only that are serious about meeting their goals.
Here are some tips to help you make the most of your mid-day meal so that you’re energized and feeling great through out the afternoon.

Everyone has their own issues in relation to fitness and fat loss. There are some solutions that will work in general for the main stream, but there are those with their own issues that may want to dial in their program so that it’s totally personalized.

If you live in my area, then you can take part in my Shawna 24/7 program and train with me every day. And even if you live outside my area, you still can benefit from my support 24/7 for the upcoming transformation program starting September 13th.

Recently I got an email asking what a lady could do to tighten up her inner thigh area. I promised a blog post about the issue as I thought if this was an issue for her, it may be for others.
I want to encourage you to email me or post comments on the blog so that I can provide relevant info for you. I’m happy to research or find answers to any of your fitness and nutrition related questions!
Onto the inner thighs…For one, you can’t spot reduce an area on the body, as you may already know. Your body, in it’s infinite wisdom, will store or deposit fat where it chooses to. Sadly, it’s not usually in the area that we would prefer! And often times, the first place to add fat is the last place to lose it. So, if you add fat in the inner thigh area, you may lose some weight/inches in the upper body first, and then as you become leaner, the last place for you to tighten up may be the main spot you were interested in losing inches in the first place! So, stay the course, maintain your fitness and fat loss routine and eventually you will lose in the area that you want.
Just because you can’t spot reduce, you can significantly improve the appearance of an area with muscle building exercise.
This may be the area that you carry some extra adipose (fat) so diet is key. You need to make long term modifications to include lots of lean protein and tons of fruits and veggies.
Any compound movement for legs is going to hit the inner thigh area. My fav’s are squats and lunges. You can also do the lateral lunge too as this really stretches and lengthens the inner thigh muscles.
A great inner thigh tightening circuit that you could do at home will also include HIIT, or high intensity interval training to raise your metabolism, get your heart rate elevated and improve cardiovascular fitness.
Here’s an example:
Count down set (start at 10 reps, go down to 1 rep per exercise):
10 squats, 10/leg rev lunge, 10/leg lateral lunge, 10 squat jumps
Some say that unfortunate things happen in three’s. This last week three things happened that I probably would rather have avoided.
I really like to view my world with an optimistic attitude though, so rather than thinking that these things shouldn’t have happened, I’m gonna look for a lesson in each of them.

The lazy days of summer will soon be behind us and the hectic fall schedule ahead may be cause for stress. Stress can be your worst fat loss enemy.
My suggestion?
Build in some ‘de-stressors’ and life will go a lot more smoothly. Pick a few of the following to incorporate into your life now so that they’re already part of your lifestyle.
What is your best de-stressor?? Share it in the comment section. Maybe your tip will help someone else through a stressful time. This blog is all about adding value to everyone’s life. Let’s help our community not only cope, but thrive…
