To get started i just need to subscribe?
Will that make the meal plans and the workouts come to me as a mail?
Everything you need is on the age 😉 No mails will be sent out for this fitness challenge, however, you can subscribe to our newsletter to receive upcoming challenges 🙂 Good luck!
Are the challenges for free or you pay for it?
It’s all free Santa – ENJOY!
Hi! I wanted to know if there is something I can do to do these workouts at home. I cant currently go to the gym all that much, and I wanted to know if there is somethings I could change.
thank you!
ps: do you have another program that young teens could follow, because I think its hard for them to stick to the diets and the workouts get them impossibly tired.
Hey Isabelle! Welcome to My Fit Station 🙂 Sure thing, we have a new June Fitness running now, you can jump on board anytime. The workouts do not require any equipment and are appropriate to all fitness levels (we also have workout infographics – exercise pictures) so that you can follow our workouts anywhere you go 😉 http://myfitstation.wpengine.com/2015/06/12/fit-fab-functional-june-fitness-challenge/
Hi,
I am about to start this plan and was wondering if I need to follow the meal plan directly or if I could substitute some meals with different items such as spinach salads. Thanks
Hey Ally, why don’t you jump on board our current Fitness CHallenge: http://myfitstation.wpengine.com/2015/06/12/fit-fab-functional-june-fitness-challenge/ (you’ll get all the tools on the link, meal plan too) 😉
Do you have video’s that go with these workouts? I find i do better in a workout when i have an instructor, virtual or otherwise.
Hey Ashley, I completely understand.
I will be offering exercise demos in next month’s challenge, stay posted!
Hi!!
would just like to say that i loooove this website! and i have seen great results with the July Bikini Pow 2013 challenge!!
Thank you Tamika. That’s amazing girl! Keep rockin’ it!!
Hi, I currently weight 130 pounds and would like to tone up/ git rid of my leg fat, and also my stomach. My main question would be, will following your workout/dieting calender make results?
Sure thing Ana! You can follow any of our monthly fitness challenges (http://myfitstation.wpengine.com/tag/monthly-workout-calendar/) to lose weight and tone up ALL OVER! Of course, what you eat is extremely important; eat clean, treat yourself and enjoy the journey 😉
question…me and some friends are just starting this. Started Sunday. But do you have any results from peeople that have done this challenge?
Hi Noell! Welcome a board! Unfortunately, I don’t have any results to share with you, if you follow our monthly fitness challenges (http://myfitstation.wpengine.com/tag/monthly-workout-calendar) you are more likely to find people participating and sharing their progress through social media (instagram/Facebook/Twitter)… Have a blast :))
ps. if you are interested, you and your friend can be the first to share your results from our fitness challenges with the rest of the community on the blog!!
ok thanks! will do!
aslo do you need to follow this diet for the 4 weeks or is there another diet plan?
you can check out the 7-day Shredding Meal Plan for more ideas: http://myfitstation.wpengine.com/2013/01/14/the-7-day-shredding-meal-plan/. Also, have a look at my Clean & Lean Meal plan sample for some additional guidelines! http://myfitstation.wpengine.com/2012/12/12/clean-lean-meal-plan-sample/
I hope this helps!
hey,
i have gradually put on weight over the past yr, tried everything that normal people do ie weight watchers, slimming world, shake diest, working out more etc and i lose very little weight..i must have one of those bodies where i need to be really discplined in order to lose…so i just found your blog and feel really inspired, i have 2 months to be bikini ready eeek!
anyway my question is….i love love the herbalife mint choc chip shake and protien bars and i have a supply of them (another failed diet) so would i be able to use them in the bikini pow diet? say a shake as a breakfast or lunch or even a snack?
Hi Claire and welcome to MFS, it’s great to have you on board! The first thing that I would recommend is to begin eating more and more REAL WHOLE FOODS (veggies, fruits, nuts, seeds, meat, eggs, etc.). I would definitely avoid eating processed foods as much as possible and limit my dairy intake for starters. In 2 months, you can definitely get great results if you are consistent with your diet and workout program. Having a shake everyday is ok but I would not necessarily recommend protein bars, they usually contain additional sugars and chemicals that your body does not need. It’s actually pretty easy to eat unprocessed foods on the go too, grab yourself a piece of fruit, a few nuts and your all set. You can also opt for peanut butter with your favorite fruit, make your own smoothies whith whole fruit, nuts, seeds, even veggies like spinach! Try being active on a day to day basis and challenging yourself with a good workout. Remember to rest and eat sufficient calories, you want to eat enough so that you have energy to workout, so don’t go too low, especially not for a prolonged period! You might have noticed that we publish a monthly workout calendar, in 3 days, the September calendar is coming out, so feel free to join the party! Let me know if you have any additional questions 🙂
Isabella 😉
If i just do the workouts but not the meal plan will i get the same results as if i did? In addition to the workouts i eat vegan and nothing processed.
Sounds like you’ve got it all covered Aly. As you know, diet is always key to getting results, so you want to make sure you are eating the right kind of foods and combinations. As long as you are eating clean and getting all the necessary nutrients, you are good to go!
is week 4 coming up? How can I cannot see it?
Hi Vivian, we are currently on to week 3 now. Week 4 is starting on next Wednesday 🙂
I am considering buying your program; however, I am a picky eater and have a hard time eating the meals that other trainers has made for me. (such as most veggies and do not like oatmeal which I know is a good breakfast meal) Will your program help me to substitute an item?
Hi Stephanie,
I suggest you have a look at Bree’s (founder of “The Body Fuel System) recipe’s to get an idea of what her meals look like (http://thebettyrocker.com/betty-rockers-recipes/). If you decide to purchase the Body Fuel System and do not feel like it’s the best fit for you, you can get a refund as well! Hope this helps 🙂
Hi,
I´m wondering how to get the printable workout logs you´re promoting on your blog – I´ve already subscribed to the newsletter and tried the link – also via Pinterst, but nothing happens. I´m just no able to download it! Can you help me here please?
Regards,
Stefanie
Hi Stefanie, you should have it in your inbox, I just send it this morning after replying to your email 😉
Hello…I was wondering when the rest of the week will be updated..I am only on day 4..started later than everyone else but I am loving it….
It has been updated! Have a great week Derenda!
Hello and thank you! It was an operator error (I didn’t refresh my bookmarks) Loving this! Very sore!
I have been following the fitness and meal plan. I started on July 5th so I will begin Day 6 tomorrow! The workouts have been good, learning new moves and can definitely feel my sore muscles the next day. I did a yoga sequence instead of rest day to stretch some of them out. I have also been following the meal plan, but when I don’t have certain ingredients on hand I substitute with what I do have (I eat very healthy usually so this has not been a hard adjustment). I did buy some protein powder and have been incorporating that into my days, I just love it! So tasty! I’ve also been keeping an exercise/food log that I fill out every day in my binder. Just wondering if there will be a new meal plan coming out for the following weeks? I am on the road and live out of hotels for my job so meal prep and planning ahead is very important to me!
Thanks for this great bikini POW plan! Looking forward to more 🙂
Hi Caitlin, it sounds like you’re doing a great job, we will be adding more recipes to the meal plan, but you can definitely keep following the meal plan shown in the post, there are a lot of options that you can chose from!
Can you do this at home? if so what equipment is needed?
Hi Rachel, you’ll find different kind of workouts listed in the calendar, for some of them you will need equipment and others only your body weight. If for example, you do not have access to an elliptical, you can do your cardio session jogging outside, etc.
