I have been a loyal member of The 12 since it’s inception in 2013 - I’ve done several Challenges here and this last one was definitely the hardest for me mentally - I love the Challenge because it is very challenging and it forces you to step outside of your comfort zone but you’re not alone - There’s incredible community support of like minded, healthy individuals who are all working towards their own goals, and overcoming life’s obstacles - there’s great comradery and team...work during classes and were always pushing each other - let’s face it, it’s a freaking hard workout but when you have everyone supporting each other then it makes it a lot easier - the Challenge is a great opportunity to get into shape, work hard, have fun and feel good! In the end, EVERYONE WINS because you’ll look and feel a lot better - Jen Noonan, 1st place Winner, October Challenge 2020 : @noonanjennifer #the12 #12nation #community #tfam #6weekchallenge2021 #costamesa #irvinecalifornia #orangecountyfitness

How do you get through the holidays without packing on extra pounds?! Check out our essential tips below: Here are some doable tips to enjoy this holiday season and still wear the same pant size come January! Track your food.The theory behind this is not to make you feel guilty. Instead it forces you to think twice about what you are putting in your body.Want the chocolate? Just adjust the rest of your day to make it work!... Eat lighter meals on the days you have a holiday party.This does not mean skip meals!Thinkgreen smoothie for breakfast,salads for lunch, and veggies and hummus for snacks. This allows you to indulge in your festivities and still not blow the whole day. Never arrive hungry to a holiday party.One of the best tips right here!If you starve yourself all day, you WILL give in to the first amazing thing you see.Instead snack throughout the day. Better yet? Have a protein shake right before you go. It willtameyour appetite so you can stop and think about the choices you are making. Stay hydrated.Why? Because many times we mistake our thirst for hunger. The best thing you can do is make a conscious effort to drink water throughout the day. If you can get in64-80ounces a day you are less likely to give into snacking, AND you will flush your body out at the same time. Keep a glass in your hand at holiday parties.Yesthis does sound odd.Itdoesn’thave to be alcohol by the way! Why does this work? It keeps your hands busy and prevents you from mindlessly snacking out of boredom.Try it! Stop eating when you are about 80% full.This one can be tough. But if you can be conscious of stopping before you get overly stuffed you will thank yourself the next day. How do you do this? Read tips 2 and 3 abovedon’tgo to a party hungry and snack on lighter meals throughout the day. Questions?

The word healthy is one of the most powerful words when it comes to nutrition. Even healthy foods can halt your fitness goals if you are not careful. Read on... 1. All vegetables are NOT free foods. Higher starch veggies like potatoes, and certain types of squash should be eaten with care. 2. You are not tracking your sugar. Many healthy foods use natural sugars-and there is nothing wrong with that. But sugar is sugar ---and it will add to your waistline no matter how h...ealthy the snack is. Try to stay close to 50g of sugar a day. 3. You are eating all organic-including organic processed foods. Think meal replacement bars or organic chips, or snack bites. If you are not seeing the results you want cut these babies out! #the12 #healthyfoodhabits #diet #nutritiontips #healthyeating #costamesa #irvine #orangecountyfitness

You need this! L-Carnitine a game changer in burning fat!Find out why. What is it? L-Carnitineis naturally produced by the body. When taken as a supplement,L-Carnitine optimizes your body’s ability to convert fat into energy, while enhancing performance and recovery.WithoutL-Carnitineit’sdifficult for fats to be burned as fuel,so our body resorts to other sources ofenergy like muscle protein and sugar (glycogen).The result is diminished muscle strength andstu...bborn fat reserves that arevery hardto remove. Why do I need it? L-Carnitine works best taken as a pre-workout supplement.Thisis because L-Carnitinemobilizes your body’s fat and turns it into energy for workouts.It’sa great way to step up your fat loss game! L-Carnitine is also apotent antioxidant supporting the brain and muscle functioning at the highest level. It truly is a game changer! #12nation #health #nutrition #fitness #supplements #instafit #instagramfitness #gym #gymlife #fitforlife #costamesa #irvine #california See more
