It’s Day 6 of 10 WEEKS TO FIT and we have our first “Active” rest. This means, although rest is important, it is still necessary to remain active on those days. The body, mirrors the mind, and needs stimulation every day. Even after a grueling 5 day workout it is still crucial to get up and move. Active Rest can consist of yoga, running, biking, hiking, swimming, or a combination of activities. Today I will be doing 45 minutes on the stair climber and ending with dead belt sprints on the treadmill.
Lets get Ten-acious
10 WEEKS TO FIT-DAY 6: Active Rest
Workout:
1-45 minutes of cardio-stair climber
2-Dead Belt Sprints-30 seconds: 5 sets of 30 seconds ( 90 second rest between reps).
*dead belt sprints are done by leaving the treadmill OFF and using your legs to start and turn the belt, speeding up as you get the belt going.
(Exercise examples below)
Congrats! You made it through “Active” Rest. Drink your post-workout shake and be ready for day 2 of Active Rest.

Hi Shannon! This is my first time on your website and I was reading over the 10 Weeks to Fit routine and I noticed at the end of each day you talk about drinking a post work out shake. I was wondering if you had any recommendations on which shakes you like to drink? Or which ones I should try? I really have no idea where to start!
Thank you so much! I am really looking forward to starting this routine!

Laura, So I make my own protein shake by combining 2 different protein powders in a shaker cup. I like DYMATIZE ISO 100 and Quest (vanilla flavor). I mix half a scoop of each in 8oz of water and shake it up just before drinking. Both types of protein powder you can find at super supplements, vitamin world, Hi-Health, GNC, not sure which supplement store is in your area. You can also buy it online. If you have any other questions please let me know!! Have a great 10 weeks.

Hi I’m kind of confused I was wondering if you can tell me where the rest of the 10 weeks is or if you just do the same workout each week? Please let me know.
Thanks!
Mikaela!!
Hi, so I am not sure why you can’t find all the workouts. If you go to the 10 weeks to fit post it has links to ALL the workouts. Is there a particular one you can’t find? NO you don’t do the same workout each week. Here is the link. https://fitnessfooddiva.com/workouts/fitness-tips/10-weeks-to-fit-program/

Haven’t worked out in about a month because I’ve used the “busy” excuse. SO I’ve been looking for some workouts to do and none of them seemed challenging enough or my taste… This is PERFECT and I cannot wait to begin them tomorrow! Thanks so much for posting these!!
Thank you so much for sharing this blog! I have joined a gym but have no clue what to do. I am getting married in September and I am looking forward to using this program to get me the bride body I want 🙂 Just one issue, I can’t get the link passed active day 1. Any suggestions?
forget it! I figured it out 🙂
I just finished your 28 day shred I loved the workouts and felt challenged every workout. While I only lost 3 pounds and 1 inch from my waist I feel stronger and am showing more definition . I love your extra helpful words of wisdom . Helpful!!
Paula! Way to go! I am happy to hear you are feeling stronger and see more definition. 3 pounds is great, I am very happy for you and hope you continue with your hard work!!
