Fitness Plan Women: Phase 2 Part 2
Looks like we’ve got some great momentum building up with more and more women taking part of this fitness plan and challenge to be toned up for early summer.
Now we’re going to look at the second part of the workout routine where our focus is going to be thighs, butt, and calves. The idea here is start building some strength and replace the fat and cellulite with muscle to give a smoother tone to your skin.
Other than an aesthetic benefit you’re going to start feeling stronger and more confident in your walk, especially when you wear high heels. Just a note since we’re talking about shoes, make sure you have some high quality athletic shoes which provide great support and a natural arch for your foot. It’s definitely worth the extra dollars to go to a running shoe store where they will look at your walk and measure the width of your feet so they can recommend the right shoe specifically for you. Great shoes means better results through better support for your spine!
Let’s get right into it, you should have already done Day 1 and Day 2 of Fitness Plan for Women Phase 2.

Workout Plan for Men: Phase 1
I asked the guys in Facebook if they wanted to have a workout plan starting right from scratch and have gotten a great response for this. If you haven’t yet and want to stay motivated with your workouts, make sure to join my fan page here – http://www.facebook.com/weightlossandtraining.
Nevertheless, you may have been exposed to numerous intense workout plans (like the hugh jackman workout) which just seem to be too much or too scattered all over the place, how about we take it back to basics and create a very comprehensive workout and diet plan just for men? (P.S. let the women in your life know that I have created a version for women too – Fitness Plan For Women).
The first phase of the workout plan for men that I’m going to provide is to give you all the essnetials you need to succeed. It’s not going to be overwhelming since too often I look at guys compromising their form when exercising and injuring their shoulders which unfortunately lasts a life time.
