Day 22 of the Challenge and Season 2 is FINALLY here!

I can’t believe we only have 10 more days to go in the October’s R.I.P.P.E.D. Challenge! It seems like it was just yesterday that we started the program. As of last night, half of the group has completed their third round of measurements with Chuck and as expected, everyone continues to increase lean body mass while at the same time lose inches and body fat. Great job Challengers!!!

Whazzzzzzzzzzzz uuuup????

How you all doin’? I just want to throw a shout out to all you people out there who have been following us through our journal and R.I.P.P.E.D. classes these past few months.  I am super duper happy that you have become a part of the R.I.P.P.E.D. family. It makes me want to sing and dance.

If it wasn’t for Alex, I would just be nothing but a dried up piece of fruit. Check out this beautiful goddess body.  Alex’s Intervals gave me these sexy beautiful legs.  You guys ROCK!!!!

R.I.P.P.E.D.: Does this thing really work…ABSOLUTELY!

So yesterday I was able to get a sneak peak at the numbers from Round 2 of measurements with Chuck and let me tell you, they are just as solid as last week’s. Without going into detail, here is what I am seeing from just about everyone.Lean Body Mass is going up (building more muscle) and Body Fat % is continuing to go down. Bottom line, everyone continues to get stronger while losing body fat.

Day 14- 4 Plateau Breaking Basics

Erin, one of the “Crush’s” elite athletes had a major concern that as hard as she works out, she’s not physically exhausted and not sweating much anymore.  Could it be a plateau that she’s hit? That dreaded word that you do not want to hear, let alone experience. We have all experienced a plateau at some time, yes, even Alex and I!  When you hit a plateau, Akuna matada! Below are 4 Plateau Busting Basics:

Hungry anyone??? Here’s a great nutrition recommendation from Gabrielle…

 

I had to pass this on. Below is an excerpt of an email from Gabrielle (R.I.P.P.E.D. Challenge Participant on the Blue Team) that she sent to some of the girls in the Challenge. She gave me the ok to pass it on to all of you. Gabrielle makes a great recommendation on what to do with left-overs. (Gerry is her husband.)

 

“Gerry is wondering if I can come up with the perfect RIPPED meal.  I like the idea of an entire entree that includes all the nutrients, yet is satisfying and delicious.  (Sometimes when I piece things together, it’s the correct fuel, but not so enjoyable.  Of course that’s fine for snacks and on-the-go, but when it comes to lunch and dinner, I like to enjoy my food.)
