What I FOCUS ON when I’ve only worked out TWO TIMES a week for the past FOUR MONTHS 🏋🏼‍♀️ {Throwback to the beginning of my #fitnessjourney which truly started right after having my first baby until today. I’ve had quite a few more #transformations since this one 🦋} I’m not my leanest but still happy with my body given my current regimen! EVERY MORNING with breakfast: I take @warriorfuel_supps HERS Pink Burst #preworkout {Code: jessicafit} whether I workout or not. I have noticed a big difference with appetite control, fat loss, energy & focus compared to last year when I decreased my workout time and lost tons of progress. I feel more productive on the days that I take it versus the days that I don’t I’ve noticed. Workout Day 1 WEIGHT TRAINING: Pick 4 or 5 leg exercises & 1 glute exercise Do 3 X 6-10 reps I usually do leg extensions, leg curls, leg presses, seated or standing calf raises & either glute bridges on the seated leg extension machine or lying leg curl machine or glute kickbacks. (I alternate weeks doing both legs versus singles on the extensions, curls & calf raises and usually do 3 sets of both legs and 3 sets of singles on the leg press machine every leg day). CARDIO: 20 minutes of HIIT followed by 10-30 minutes of LISS {I use the elliptical and alternate 90 secs slow or moderate pace with 30 secs sprints}. I’ll do another post on Day 2 since this is getting a bit lengthy.😉😘 Weekend plans anyone? I’m planning on getting my second workout in! 🤞🏼😅 • • • #hiit #cardio #legday #fitness #glutesworkout #bootybuilding #liss #fitmoms #fitmum #weighttraining #trainlikeagirl #abworkout #armworkout #momswholift #momswithmuscle #gymlife #gymday #athleisure #workoutoftheday #workoutroutine #utahfitfam #utah #utahfitness #momlife #exerciseroutine #fitspo #weightlosstransformation

MY FITNESS JOURNEY OVER THE PAST YEAR... This first pic shows the time from when I began training with @shaneheugly until today. While I still use his workouts as a basis for what I do now, since June, I’ve been eating intuitively and working out about 2 days a week instead of counting macros & working out 6 days a week. My cardio & weightlifting aren’t nearly as comprehensive. I’ve gotten a ton of questions about my @warriorfuel_supps #preworkout {CODE: jessicafit} that I take because I really feel like it’s given me a huge edge since decreasing my working out time the past 4 months by increasing my metabolism and controlling my appetite. I also have already experienced what working out the same amount of time or even more without taking it ended up like last year. I have put a timeline together of the last year or so and all the transitions and changes that have occurred with my body. Please feel free to ask any unanswered questions! 😘♥️ • • • • • • #macros #gymworkouts #fitover40 #fitness #fitnessjourney #weightlossjourney #bikiniprep #bikiniathlete #iifymgirls #momswholift #fitmoms #fitmums #fitmom #fitnum #utahfitfam #utah #beachbody #thesweatlife #fitnesswomen #workouttime #fitnesslifestyle #flashbackfriday #activeliving #girlsgonesporty #dreambig #staypositive #fbfriday #fitspiration #fitnessgoals

#tbt re-creation pic 1995 vs 2017 & SEVEN KIDS LATER || This girl, @alyssa_kimber was the first one to make me a mama! ☺️👧🏼 Now she’s pretty much my swolemate, if you can call only working out 2 days a week swole anything 😂🙈 but I have been able to stay fairly lean by taking my fave preworkout @warriorfuel_supps HERS Pink Burst {CODE JESSICAFIT} every morning with breakfast. It’s really helped me not lose too much progress during this time in my life by controlling my appetite and increasing my metabolism! 💗🌟 • • • • #throwbackthursday #bbgmom #mealprep #bbgcommunity #trainlikeagirl #utahfitness #utah #fitover30 #fitspo #fitness #bbgover30 #fitover40 #weightloss #bodyafterbaby #mombod #beforeandafter #stretchmarks #girlswhoworkout #fitnesstransformation #fitmom #fitmum #bbgbabe #bikinibody #warriorfuel #girlswithabs #pregnancy #postpartum #homeworkout #gymlife

I've gotten a lot of comments lately asking how do I handle having SEVEN KIDS??! 😳 Well, let me tell you, since school has started I feel like a chicken with my head cut off!!! 🐔😐 I didn't even make it to the gym ONCE this week yet 😬😩😭 But I honestly feel like my life is finally getting easier, in general, now than after having only ONE kid! Why? 1) My youngest is pretty much potty trained 2) I have older kids to help me 3) I have an amazing support system between my husband, his parents and my parents ☺️♥️ 4) I am more mature than my 20-year-old self and know what comes with the territory 😂💩🍕🍭🤸🏽‍♀️🏈🏀🚗🎡🎠🛁❤️..... But in terms of maintaining my physique while significantly reducing my workouts? I am a little softer, yes, but I am actually shocked at the difference between hardly working out the past 3 months versus a year ago when the same thing happened and I lost a ton of progress. I credit my change in eating habits to @shaneheugly my fitness coach & taking my @warriorfuel_supps HERS #preworkout {code: jessicafit} which has helped SO much with controlling my appetite and keeping my metabolism up! 🙏🏻 I know I've said this a million times, but truly, I can't credit a workout regimen at the moment, other than my recent training with Shane. I'm hoping I'll settle into a routine soon and be able to get into the gym more regularly. I want it more than you know, but family does come first & everyone's schedules are so staggered, it's been difficult to manage it at this point. HAPPY FRIDAY LOVES! Enjoy your weekend!! ♥️🌺🌿

STRETCH MARKS • LOOSE SKIN • OVERPOPULATING THE EARTH 🌏👫👯👫... All topics of discussion revolving around some of my recent posts. 👌🏼😂 "What have I done to prevent #stretchmarks and loose skin?" This is a very common question I get. Honestly, not much. I never religiously applied any particular lotion or cream, and I think a lot of it has to do with genetics and keeping my weight down after each pregnancy. I did get a few stretch marks on my hips; none on my tummy. But I have seen lots of other women, all beautiful and worthy, with stretch marks and loose skin. I'm sure the huge majority wouldn't trade their children for a flawless body. We all kinda know that's part of the deal. 😅 As for overpopulating the earth? Have you ever driven through Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Utah, eastern Washington, even Cali has a lot of open territory. #sorrynotsorry 🤷🏻‍♀️Each of my kids is amazing, and I love them to death! I didn't set out to have as many kids as I do, but life often takes you down unforeseen paths, and I have zero regrets! 😘

WHY FAILING IS OKAY... I've failed at a million things in my lifetime. My first marriage, always being the best mom, many 7th grade track races, idk how many math tests 🙄 & most recently at becoming a bikini competitor by August. But what I've realized is that every disappointing turn isn't always wrong and the ones that are can be used to create a stronger, wiser and more refined YOU. Over time many of my weaknesses and failures have become strengths in one way or another. I always struggled in algebra, but in college I worked extra hard and got straight A's. My second marriage has been amazing. I didn't win a bikini competition, but hiring my coach has helped me learn how to keep my diet in check {and taking @warriorfuel_supps preworkouts has helped control my appetite as well! Code: jessicafit} so that I have (pretty close to) maintained my physique and I now know what foods to eat to get better results. What I love about where I am right now is that I feel good, healthy, & strong, mentally and physically. And best of all, I feel this is sustainable. I can spend time with my family and have energy to care for them. My body didn't respond well to 3-5 hour workouts 6 days a week. I kept getting sick. What I realize now is my family was getting neglected to some degree too and sometimes God has ways of redirecting us. So trust that things will be made right and ALWAYS listen to your intuitions! ❤️
