This month I want to focus on toning arms. So, here is this month's challenge:
In addition to your regular workouts, complete this exercise video/routine at least 3 times a week:

I know some of you already do some of these moves in your regular exercise (like I do), but do these in addition to your regular workouts.
This month's food challenge is to get as much, or even more, milligrams of potassium than sodium. For example, if you consume 1500mg of Sodium, try to get at least 1500 mg of potassium.
"Since potassium functions in close cooperation with sodium, imbalanced intake of salt (sodium chloride) can...increase a person's need for potassium. Higher amounts of potassium are also needed by persons with high blood pressure."- whfoods.com
Some good sources of potassium are:
-Citrus fruit (oranges and orange juice are great sources!)
-Bananas
-Potatoes
-lima/pinto/kidney beans
-spinach
Good luck!
***If you haven't already, please post your measurements and pics in your group discussions. If not everyone in your group has introduced themselves/ posted measurements, send them a message and remind them, please! If they're like me, they've been busy busy busy and might have forgotten
