I've recently discovered a team of incredible trainers who feature a blog and website ToneItUp.com. Karena and Katrina, out of Hermosa Beach, CA, are quickly becoming internet sensations as well as well-known trainers. They are super interactive with social media, which is not only keeping me engaged but guilting me into completing my workouts for the day. They regularly post new workouts to try with clever names like Itty Bitty Bikini Workout and Backless Dress Workout.
What sets the ToneItUp workouts apart from others is that the moves engage several muscle groups at once, resulting in more calories burned and an overall greater result. Pair a workout routine with a 6am Booty Call (an extra workout squeezed into your morning routine to jumpstart your metabolism) and you're well on your way to getting toned!
In addition to giving workout tips and motivating you constantly through email, twitter and facebook, they've also created an online community to help members enage with one another and keep each other motivated. We share tips, recipes, and more. The best part is it's free! You can submit your stories online, interact to win goodies, and meet like minded people. It's a win-win!
Karena and Katrina also feature a diet plan with proven results. Though I have not tried it myself (I plan to in th next month or so) I've seen before and after pictures of several women who have and the results are incredible! I have, however, tried some of the recipes they post on Food Friday and am enjoying the tasty yet healthier recipes. I also LOVE how they constantly remind you of the importance of drinking water throughout the day. Although I'm running to the restroom more often, my body is definitely happier and my cravings have been curbed.
And if all of this isn't enough inspiration they're both amazingly gorgeous and fit. If nothing else, seeing them daily pushes me to work harder.
I've been plowing through their workouts for about a month and have noticed a difference in my body. I'm stronger and more toned. I also completed my first duathlon (5k run, 20k bike, 5k run) and came in first for my age group!
Land Rover Hilton Head sponsored the event, so my good friend Jonathon and I were happy to bring cars to display and compete. Jonathan also won first place for his age group!
Go us!
I'm enjoying my more active lifestyle and definitely recommend it to others. To learn more about the ToneItUp girls, visit them at the below links.
