Legs and Booty Barre
Click to expand and see all workout moves.As you work through the sequence with me, you’ll not only be sculpting amazing definition but strengthening muscles that are often underused and underdeveloped.
As we slow things down, this a great opportunity to be super mindful of your form and keep your core engaged-belly button coming in and up, shoulders rolled back and knees tracking in line with your toes.

Today’s Focus: Staying Nourished
When it comes to boosting our immune system, losing body fat, sculpting lean muscle, and seeing results, nutrition is key. When planning for the week, I think about:
- 2-3 breakfast options I like.
- A few entrees that could double as dinner or lunch.
- A couple smoothie ideas that have complimentary ingredients to give you variety with your greens.
- A snack option like homemade protein muffins or an easy to make trail mix for days you’re just hungrier and want a little more to eat.
- Round out your plan with a couple of staple sides that you would like to have on hand daily like a big mixed greens salad and some rice, quinoa or easy to grab sweet potato chunks…
……and then make your grocery list around that.
Or, you can let me make the whole plan for you, with so many delicious, easy and healthy recipes!
The 30 Day Challenge Meal Plan includes all the recipes and grocery lists for breakfasts, smoothies, sides, snacks and entrees for 4 full weeks – with plenty of delicious options and structure to help you eat right for YOUR life!
