Hot Mommas~Fit and Fabulous MISSION SEVEN

Goal Check Up + Be Active EVERY DAY
Six Fabulous weeks have gone by Ladies! Congratulations to you on working so hard! The great part about working together on our ultimate mission to a life of health and fitness, is sharing our success, struggles, tips and insights along the way.   
As we start fresh on another 6 weeks – Take a minute to reassess where you are today.  Look at your goal sheet from Week One.  Have you made it to your short-term goal? Are you working toward it and others? Maybe you haven’t printed one or written anything down yet… Don’t worry, just start now!  I sent you the Goal Sheet PDF in your morning email.  As you work toward your goals, you will notice that things change: the goals themselves may evolve into something a little different, new obstacles may pop up, your ideas about staying on track may need to be edited…
1) Mental or Written Goal Assessment: Take a few minutes to honestly assess where you are, and where you would like to be.  You may be on track, in that case give yourself some praise and share it with us all! When you find yourself successful ~ shout it out to the world! Don’t be shy, share your accomplishments. Feel free to post on Blogger or our Facebook Page each time you find yourself achieving your goals!  The more you do – the more you will inspire others! 
If you find that you need to change, set new or start setting goals ~ create a new goal sheet and hang it where you view it every day. This will inspire you to stick to your journey.
Healthy Americans are encouraged to get in at least 30 minutes of moderate activity 5-7 days per week (as per the Surgeon General).  This seems simple enough, but does it really happen every week?? Many people would think yes, but in reality it does take effort, planning and encouragement.   This week (and every for that matter) be sure you do this!
2) 30 Minutes A Day: EVERY DAY this week, your mission is to get in 30+ Minutes of (sustained, moderate) activity.  This does not have to just happen on the treadmill, although your regularly scheduled workouts will count toward this goal.  It can happen on the playground with your kids, raking leaves, walking to work, etc, etc.  Print off your 30 Minutes a Day Check List (sent via email PDF).  Use it this week for the mission, and then print more for future weeks.  Visual reminders are very powerful!

The Hot Mommas~Fit and Fabulous MISSION ONE


Set Goals, Get Organized & Get Started

Good Morning Hot Mommas!!
Did you get your "Getting Started" Email Package today? Read Through your Welcome PDF & then take on this Mission!  If you did not recieve your package - send me an email at thehotmommasfitandfab@gmail.com


1) SET GOALS: Set your healthy living goals.  Those who write down goals are far more likely to succeed. Print out your Hot Mommas~Fit and Fab Healthy Living GOAL SHEET (received via email pdf for those signed up).  You are even more likely to accomplish your goals, if you place this in a highly visible place (one you see multiple times per day). Another tip for successful goal setting is to share them. Tell someone about your plan – Post it on the Hot Mommas Blog Post if you are brave enough to have overwhelming support!

2)  GET ORGANIZED: Print out or save your Hot Mommas~Fit and Fab Workout Calendar. (also received via email for enrollees). Decide what is practical for your life.  You need to make this schedule based upon your current activity level, life, etc.

3) GET STARTED: There is NO better time than now to get moving – DON’T wait until tomorrow – your workouts begin TODAY! Go out (or stay in) and BE ACTIVE

If you are a Beginner or a Returner: Start off gently – ease yourself into working out by doing moderate activities (walking, bike, light toning exercises).
NOTE: If you are waiting for a medical release to exercise – this mission can still be completed by setting up your Calendar, and getting everything organized to get off to a great start!

If you are a Pro: Look at your current routine & see where you may need some tweaking.  Add in something new, increase your intensity level or amount of time spent with your workouts.

***Comment here that you received this Mission. THEN Comment back here once you have set your goals, workout schedule and have started rolling (i.e. At least one workout down). The more you comment, the more Participation Points you earn + the more you help and inspire yourself and others!

Here are some resources to get you started with your workout plan. Upcoming Hot Mommas Blog Posts will include many exercise ideas for you to add to your routine as well. 
The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) is the Gold Standard of Physical Fitness Guidelines in the US and the world for that matter.  They have many informational resources available. I have worked with (and for) ACSM for my entire career. I highly endorse their information. Here are a few video links that I feel may get your schedule on track. Although slightly cheesy J the videos do have good info!
