Let’s Get BOSU Strong – Week 2

What’s up Femme Fitales?  How’s everyone feeling?  Last week we had a GREAT time with BOSU and Sweat Pink sharing how we are #BOSUStrong and this is the second week of this fitness fun.  If you missed last week’s info on what #BOSUStrong is all about, you can read all about it HERE.

We are now in Week 2 starting tomorrow so it’s all about BALANCE.  You feel me?

Remember, you can join the challenge whether or not you have a BOSU and I hope you do join – because there’s a chance you could win a BOSU just for participating.  There’s also other PRIZES you can win if you are one of the most active participants.

Answer this week’s daily prompts (listed below) on your blog, Instagram, Twitter or wherever else you want to share and hashtag #BosuStrong #FitFamily #sweatpink and tag BOSU (Instagram) BOSU (Twitter) & @FitApproach.   Hint, hint, the more you share (and the more places you share), the better your chances of winning! 

*Special note:  When participating in the challenge with a BOSU please do not stand on it with the dome side down as that is not considered proper form or utility of the equipment.  

**Another special note:  You do NOT need to own a BOSU to participate in this challenge but as previously mentioned you will have an opportunity to win one.  Keep reading and I share some discount information on the BOSU too. 

Let’s do this.  Then (copy/past/fill in/post) this challenge pledge called the “6 ways I stay balanced” to your blog, Instagram or Facebook.  Here’s mine and follow me on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter to see the daily prompts OR simply subscribe to this blog (right column under my photo) and come back daily to see the next day’s prompts.  It’s totally up to you.

MY ANSWERS

If you forgot to join me last week for the #BOSUStrong challenge or just weren’t up for the cardio, make sure you join me this week as it’s all about the balance! We’re standing on one leg, lunging, and BOSU squatting our way through the week.

But balance means more than just being able to stand on one leg, it also means being able to do what you love while making healthy choices at the same time. It means putting in the work and still finding time for family and myself. Or eating the best foods for my body but balancing it out with dessert treats here and there. Or running on the treadmill and lifting weights at home when you can’t make it to the gym.

Here are the 6 ways I stay balanced – what are yours?

• I make time for myself by spending quiet time alone.
• My favorite me time is in the wee hours of the morning running outside in my thoughts.
• My rule when it comes to a balanced diet is workout hard and feed your body the good stuff.
• I make fitness a priority by doing it first thing in the morning daily.
• When I get stressed or overwhelmed, my go to is running sprints to get out all of the stress.
• I do more at home with my family to help my family stay balanced.
