FOOD

The Nutrition section of the SWEAT app includes hundreds of nutritionally balanced recipes. Choose from daily meal plans with vegetarian, pescetarian, Lacto-vegetarian, Ovo-vegetarian and vegan diet preferences. I will say I haven't gotten too into the nutrition section yet, but fitness and nutrition go hand in hand. One of my goals for this year is to improve my nutrition to promote a healthier me! I have cut out soda and sweet tea and switched to water and Propel! 

ACTIVITY

The planner is perfect for scheduling your workouts for the week, including your HIIT and LISS sessions, resistance, rest and recovery. I love that the work is done for you, as far as creating an organized workout schedule. It is super easy to change the schedule around if something comes up. This has really motivated me to get my workouts done, I love checking things off a list it makes me feel accomplished.

It’s a place where you can share your experiences and aspirations, as well as encourage and motivate each other.

OVERVIEW

The BBG is my favorite program, I'm already on week 19 of BBG 2.0! It is normally so hard for me to keep up with a program, I either get bored or don't see results and end up quitting. I am proud to say I still enjoy this program and it still challenges me every day. I love that there are different programs within the app to change it up and that there is an app for my Apple Watch to keep up and motivate to reach my fitness goals. 

Now for my results so far......I was so nervous to post these! I am so happy with the results and really see and feel a difference! My clothes are fitting better, I have more energy and just feel awesome. I actually look forward to working out now and hate to miss a workout.I can't say enough great things about this workout program, it really has made a difference and I am hooked!

The SWEAT app has pretty much anything you could ask for in a fitness and nutrition app — and then some! Yes, there's a cost involved, so it's up to you to decide if the $20 per month is worth it, but honestly investing in your health is so important and finding a program that works and is fun is so hard to do! They are offering 20% off for ID.me members (military, responders, government, teachers, and students) making this the perfect time to sign up! Try the 7 day free trial and see for yourself! The free trial for SWEAT is available in the iOS and Android app store.

Love my Loopy phone case? Shop it here! Seriously the best phone case protects your phone and keeps you from dropping it on your face when you're laying on the couch watching your shows. It has also come in handy when carrying my keys and bags of grocery, I just stick my finger through the loop and start grabbing bags!
