Fit For Life Update

Hellllloooo my lovelies!

I am heading to Greece next week so I will be taking a break from adding my workouts to Fit For Life for a bit. In the meantime, check out a different guide or you can absolutely go back and repeat workouts from earlier in the guide.

This is also the last week of my Summer Tournament (I cannot believe how fast this summer went) and enrollment for my Fall Tournament will be opening on September 16th. I will have more details for you once I am back in the country but it will be much less expensive than it has been in the past so I hope more of you will be able to sign up!! K done for now love you all and check out the sale I am running on my most recent Instagram post.

“Ahhhh, final photos due ): so sad but I’m soooo happy I got to work with you! You don’t know how much you impacted my life. Allowed me to turn to the gym through the hard times I’ve gone through, be so much happier, strive to help others, feel stronger, all the above. You did it. This program changed me for the better and was such a great experience. Loved working with you and loved being able to talk to all of the other girls. Made some great friendships I hope to keep forever. Thank you for everything you have done! Congratulations on all of your achievements as well and I know you’ll continue to grow yourself and your brand. I can’t wait to work with you in the future! This is by far one of the best fitness related things I’ve got myself into.”

“Hey Cristina! So I know you already chose your winners for the challenge, but I still want to share my progress with you and thank you! I plan to continue my fitness journey and better myself further, but it has been so fun learning new ways to work myself, as well as fun and healthy eating habits! Over the 8 weeks, I lost a total of 20 pounds and went from a size 10 to a size 8. I still have a ways to go until I reach my goal, but this has been a great experience. Honestly, the toughest part of the challenge was just making it regimen to get to the gym on a regular schedule. Also, Lexi and I mostly did the lifts and some days we would incorporate the cardio, but not always. Surprisingly the eating wasn’t difficult (I didn’t count my macros) but instead I just avoided highly processed foods and tried to stick close to your grocery list and be conscious of the calories in each thing I consume 🙂 I swear I’ve never eaten so much granola as in the past 8 weeks and I loved it! Thank you again!!”

“YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!  I honestly thought these shorts would never fit again! I honestly never thought my back fat rolls would go away. I cannot believe I did this in just 9 weeks! I am so incredibly happy! I could not thank you enough!!!! I have gained so much confidence in myself and I honestly owe it all to you and finally motivating me to make a change. Thanks for everything! Cannot wait to continue my health journey with you!”

“The tournament went really well for me, while I wasn’t trying to lose a ton of weight, I joined the challenge to more get out of the funk/road block I was in before. I think that I definitely grew mentally more than physically. The scale actually stayed the exact same, but looking at my photos I can see that I leaned out some, so hopefully that means I gained some muscle?!

Before this, I had done a few of your personal plans and did awesome, after buying like 6ish from you I decided to go off on my own. I did really well at first but then life got busy during summer and I really slacked off. So when I saw this tournament I knew I had to join! Overall, I had more better weeks than bad, I am currently working full time, have a small part time job, AND trying to start and run my own photography business so fitting in workouts and making them a priority during this has been a really big hurdle that I’ve jumped. 

One of the hardest parts was actually getting to the gym haha, to overcome that it was all mental, I really just had to drive there without thinking, before I gave myself reasons why I couldn’t. I also reminded myself of the body and health that I do want and that I won’t get it without putting in the work.

 I did track macros, this was my first time doing this and I LOVED it!! I learned that I was probably eating too many carbs before and was way short on protein. I will no doubt continue counting my macros from here on out. I really liked how accountable and easy it made it to eat healthy and knowing when to stop!”

“Hi Cristina, here are my final pictures! Unfortunately I was sick for week 5/6 and ended up having to take a week off from the gym but I really tried to kill it during the end of week 6 when I was feeling better. Thank you so much for everything you’ve taught me throughout the challenge, your support and encouragement were always so motivating! I think overall things went really well. I really liked the workouts and 5 days a week worked really well with my schedule. The hardest part for me, I think, was being home and in summer mode. Between beach days, ice cream, dinners out, family and friend’s barbecues, and nights out at the bar every weekend, I had a hard time keeping my treat meals to 2 meals, with most of them turning into 2 full days. That is something I have always struggled with though. I can hit the gym hard every day, but as soon as there’s unhealthy food around me, I have no will power. However, knowing I was doing a challenge did help me to stay on track some of the time. But all in all, I would totally do another challenge! Thanks so much for everything, Can’t wait to get back into my other program I bought from you and see more progress 🙂

Nutrition

Hi guys!

I’ve been getting a lot of questions regarding nutrition and meal plans and unfortunately there are too many of you for me to calculate everyone’s individual macros and write a meal plan for. I don’t even write meal plans for my tournament girls because I haven’t had luck with them in the past. Instead I offer a nutrition guide with my tournaments to help let you know what types of foods to avoid instead of exactly what to eat and this has been much more helpful and successful!

My next tournament is opening for enrollment on June 23rd so stay tuned because I will be announcing more updates on my Instragram!

In the meantime, here is the macro calculator I use for my clients and I to help figure how much we should be eating to reach our goals.

And here are some YouTube videos of mine that could be helpful!

Tournaments and Questions

Hi guys!

I have quite a few updates for you so hopefully these will answer most of the questions I’ve been getting.

Winter Tournament:

Unfortunately the Tournament App is not ready yet so my developers are working hard to have it ready in time for the Spring Tournament that will be opening for enrollment in March. I thought it would be fun to host a 4 week tournament on this app to help get you babes motivated for spring break coming up! I will be posting those details on the App Facebook page and group so be sure to like the page here and join the group here. There will be no extra charge for premium members and there will be a cash prize!

At Home Workouts:

I’ve been getting lots of requests for more at home exercises and while I just added a new week to the “Get Fit At Home ” guide, I am going to focus on recording more at home exercises and adding to there more often. Our gym has been under going a big renovation so there isn’t much space to record them at the moment, but I think the project is almost done.

Stretching:

I highly recommend doing some static stretching after each workout. I just added my updated stretching routine to the “Pre & Post Workout” section on the app, so check that out!

Rest Days:

Some of you have asked which days are best for rest days and there is no right answer. You can take them whenever you need them! Most guides are set up for 2 off days per week besides the first 3 weeks (9 days) of NYNL, and Beginner’s Guide To Fitness, which are set up for 3 workouts per week and 4 rest days.

Abs:

I got a lot of requests for more ab workouts on the app and while I want to give you guys what you want, I do not want you guys thinking doing abs 3 times a week will get you abs faster than once a week because it will not. You already have abs, you just have to eat right and exercise so you can shed the fat that is covering them and give you that toned and lean look. I also have stopped doing most oblique exercises because I don’t have a naturally small waist and working my obliques will make me appear more boxy. I change up the ab workouts on here WAY more than I do in real life. I have two go-to ab workouts (ab wheel & the incline circuit I have posted on here many times) that get me the most sore and work the section of my abs I actually want to grow. That all being said I will work on posting more for you but I just wanted to be honest with you and let you know I don’t actually do many of them myself.

Nutrition & Supplements:

I will post a short version of my nutrition guide on here for the mini tournament but I just recorded an updated supplement video that should be on my YouTube as soon as I get it edited. Subscribe to my channel here.

Updated Exercise Descriptions:

I received a great suggestion from one of you that you’d like to know which muscle(s) you’re targeting with each exercise so I spent basically my whole Sunday going through every exercise in my library to update the descriptions. Honestly don’t know why I hadn’t already done that but I hope it’s helpful!

Music Player:

EDIT: Mine is actually working perfectly with Apple Music, iTunes, and Spotify. If you are still having troubles, trying updating your app and phone software. For those of you experiencing problems with your music stopping while using the app, I am sorry. We had it figured out and then Apple had to go and switch things up and they’re making it extremely difficult for us. For now, there is a music note in the top right corner of the home page that you can use to play your iTunes or Spotify library. We are looking into adding the option to select a specific playlist from your Spotify library like you can in iTunes. I’m sorry for the annoyance, it is aggravating for us as well and we’re constantly looking for ways around it.

That’s all for now, thank you for reading if you made it this far!

New Year, New Lifestyle

Helllloo my lovelies!

I hope you had/are having an amazing time celebrating the holidays with loved ones! I know I am but I am also very excited to get home and get back into my routine.

I just added the first week to my new guide “New Year, New Lifestyle” and this guide is going to start off as 3 days a week and then increase to 5. I think this way it will be much easier for beginners to adjust to getting to the gym without feeling too overwhelmed.

If you need help figuring out how much to eat to reach your goals, check out katyhearnfit.com and use her macro calculator. Be sure you select how often you WILL be exercising instead of how often you do now.

If you are someone who is looking for a little more guidance from me in the nutrition and coaching department, I have my Winter Tournament coming soon on my brand new tournament app! Be sure to stay up to date here and on my social media for more info regarding that. For now, there are some details on my website cristinacapron.com. I will announce the enrollment date as soon as Apple has approved the app and we’re ready to go!

Happy New Year babes!
