FITAPPY – Lift and Jump

Dear Followers,

This post has been a long time coming. I’ve come to a difficult decision: I need to suspend my activity on my fitness platforms. The landscape of social media has changed, and I no longer feel that I fit in here. My intention was always to help and inspire, not to compete for attention. Unfortunately, I feel like social media has become just that—a competition. This is not who I am, and I refuse to be part of this game.

I believe in the value of genuine, helpful information, but I also recognize that much of what circulates online can be misleading or simply a means to show off. I don’t want to contribute to that noise. Therefore, I’ve decided to step back from this space. I’m unsure if or when I will return, but for now, I need to stay true to myself and my values.

When I first started this blog years ago, my goal was to inspire and promote a healthy lifestyle. As a fitness enthusiast, I have always been passionate about sharing my knowledge on fitness, diet, and exercise. Even now, I continue to hit the gym several times a week and stay active in various ways, all while managing the demands of caring for my kids.

Thank you all for your support. If you’d like to continue following my journey, please join me on Instagram and my writing blog, WolverineLily.com, where I share my latest stories and poems. I’d love to stay connected with you there!

Good luck on your fitness journeys!

Warm regards,

If you could improve only 1% each day, where will you be in 100 days?

There are countless skills I aspire to master and new things I long to learn! Is it ambition, drive, or perhaps plain stubbornness? 😉 Maybe it’s motivation, too?

When I began regularly jumping rope in July, every new skill I acquired felt like an enormous wave of excitement. As a beginner, progress seems to come more swiftly (or at least it feels that way) because each day of practice surpasses the one before. Progress is more palpable when starting from ground zero. For me, each small achievement fueled a desire to learn another trick. Mastering a new skill feels incredible! However, as proficiency grows, the learning curve shifts. New moves tend to be more challenging, requiring more time to learn. This can make small improvements less noticeable. Often, we feel stuck and perceive no progress. I certainly experience that feeling often! When this occurs, I have a tendency to train more vigorously, expecting to see results. I believe this might be why I recently sustained an injury.

Ultimately, if you put in the effort, progress will come. Results will manifest over time. Trust yourself and relish the journey. Don’t let frustration deter you from pursuing your dreams!

Since I’m unable to engage in vigorous jumping and lifting, I’ve been exploring creative workouts. Hence, the idea of 100 days of small increments. Each day contributes a tiny 1% improvement in whatever task or skill I choose to focus on. Whether it’s mastering a new skill or simply doing old-fashioned push-ups, I won’t seek immediate results every day. Instead, I’ll reserve judgment until June 2024.

See you then! 😘

Your workout takes about one hour of your day. What do you plan to do with the remaining 23 hours?

Exercising alone will not deliver ultimate results. You have to work for it and adjust your lifestyle — including your meals! Many people put a lot of emphasis on exercising, but in reality, adopting healthy and proper eating habits will bring you amazing outcomes without necessarily spending hours in the gym! I’ll say it again: Without proper nutrition, you will not see significant results from your hard work in the gym!

Please watch the video below for details. It will guide you through everything you need to do and what you need to avoid for the next 30 days to lose body fat and tone your body.

Achieving a full and round booty is totally doable with home workouts. While gyms offer fantastic equipment and amenities, you can still achieve stunning results using basic equipment in the comfort of your own living room. But let’s be real—it won’t happen overnight. Consistency and discipline are key. The hardest part is sticking to your routine, especially when results aren’t immediate. Sometimes, it takes weeks or even months before you notice a slight improvement. Patience is crucial. Stay focused, and don’t let setbacks discourage you too quickly.

Moreover, proper nutrition is essential. I’ve shared numerous videos about diet on my YouTube channel. Be sure to check them out for valuable tips and guidance on maintaining a healthy diet that complements your workout routine. Together, we can achieve those fitness goals! 💪🏼🍑

There are so many things on the market promising customers weight loss and fat burn. Trimming belt is one of them. Unfortunately, there is no scientific evidence of any fat loss. In fact, spot reduction is impossible!! Therefore, slimming belts will not make your stubborn belly fat disappear! But still we buy them because we are hopeful and believe in our dream body. And this is a good thing.

Although belts can be helpful, they will not replace exercise and proper nutrition, so start there first. Then you can get a belt to help you remember about easting smaller meals and keep your belly in and tight. Please watch the video for more details. It will answer more of your questions.

Everyone has to start somewhere. One day could make a new beginning to something amazing: first day to your fit, healthier, and happier life. It is in your hands to begin. Stop listening to this negative voice in your head telling you that you are too fat, too tired, today is not a good day to begin, etc. Excuses do not push you forward. Only your positive actions will. Time is running fast and you are not getting any younger, In fact, YOU WILL NEVER BE AS YOUNG AS YOU ARE TODAY! Act quickly. I created this workout for you to get started. I do not expect everyone to do all the exercises or the entire workout. IT’s ok to pause, take a break or skip some sections. With time, however, you should be doing the entire workout. Then you will see your progress, and how much stronger you are. I believe in you, so should you.

Super easy, protein packed, low carbs recipe! Whether you want to lose fat, weight or build muscle you must try it! It is amazing. Here we go:

Ingredients: About 3 slices of turkey breast, 1 slice of low-fat cheese (I used low-fat Jarlsberg), mustard, red pepper (1-2 slices), romaine lettuce

Start with putting mustard on a turkey. I like to put a thin layer on every slice. Then, stock them up together on top of on one another. Next, I put a few small-cut pieces of red pepper on one edge of turkey. Make a roll starting on a side with peppers. Once you have a roll, wrap a slice of cheese around it. Then wrap it all with lettuce. You can use 2 to 5 leaves, or more if you like it. Watch this short video
