GET FIT WITH BRIT: A Michigan Mom's Fitness Journey
Hello, I am @themittbrit and this is my fitness journey. I'm a USAF Veteran that hasn't worked out since essentially my last P.E. Test and that was oh, 6 years ago?! 😳 My kids are getting older and in their last few years of elementary school and I own my own business that I make my own schedule with so I thought it was the perfect time to start taking care of myself again. I have made it a daily routine to go to the gym after dropping off my kids at school. At first, it was very hard to keep the urge to go but after a week it became normal. I workout a minimum of 5 days a week. On the weekends, I usually have Saturday weddings so I'm putting in 6+ miles and keep Sunday as my rest day. One rest day is extremely important for me.
Supplements are key during this workout plan-
In the mornings, I start my day off with Mtn Ops Ignite for energy and focus. Immediately following my workout, I have a Mtn Ops protein shake during my drive back home (to my office). In the evenings, I have another protein shake or meal replacement shake packed with protein and a scoop of collagen.
MY FAVORITES
IGNITE: Mtn Ops Bugle Berry
PROTEIN: Mtn Ops Keep Hammering Protein Blend - Chocolate Caramel
MEAL REPLACEMENT: Mtn Ops Ammo Protein Meal Replacement - Peanut Butter Chocolate
COLLAGEN: Mtn Ops Eva Collagen Peptides Collagen Peptide Protein Powder
