Cookie Dough Greek Yogurt - add 1 tbsp nut butter, 1 tbsp sweetener, 1 tbsp mini chips, and 1/4 tsp vanilla to Greek yogurt.
I tried this and it’s so good. I couldn’t find our vanilla extract so I used almond instead. Om nom nom.

May 2013 Squat & Plank challenge!!
Feel free to print out and stick it anywhere for motivation! Don’t forget to drink plenty of water and eat clean and you should see awesome results by the end of the month. GOOD LUCK :)
If you complete this then this month you have:
- squatted 5,000 times!
- planked for over an hour! (64.30)
note 1: if you find the squats too difficult then try splitting them up into reps of about 50 at a time and spread them throughout your day.
note 2: please ensure you are squatting and planking correctly to avoid any injuries.
Doing this! 💪💪

These are just a few of my favorite cookie recipes but there’s tons of other healthy cookie makeovers here. :)
Living a healthy lifestyle is about moderation, balancing a mostly healthy meal plan with occasional snacks and treats. With these healthy recipes you can enjoy a cookie or two (or even 3!) with a glass of milk and still feel good about your nutritional choices. Keep in mind, no one cookie, cupcake or one anything is going to “ruin” your progress but if you want a healthier dessert you can have daily, these are a great option!
May includes a special calendar for people participating in the Pull-Up Challenge to keep you from overtraining!
The directions are simple: find the current date on the calendar, see what workout(s) it asks for, and pick one from each section listed for that date.
For example, if today it says “Arms” and “General,” I’d find an arm workout and a general workout to do today. (The Endurance Calendar also has “stretch” as a category; I do not have any stretching routines, but simply take about ten minutes to stretch out and relax when stretching is called for, or try a yoga video online.)
If you’d like to write about your experiences during the month or see how others are doing, please use the tag “BoP: May”. By all using this tag, we can see what others are doing during the month and send others encouragement along the way. Let’s all support each other on our journeys! (If you’re not on Tumblr but still use these calendars, feel free to update us on the Back On Pointe Facebook Page or the Back On Pointe Fitocracy Group!)
During the month, remember that you should take as many rest days as you need, modify any workouts that you cannot do, stay hydrated, get more low-intensity cardio, and eat well.
Have fun!
p.s. Any of the calendars can be modified. If you are training for a half-marathon, feel free to count that as your cardio on cardio days. If you’re sore in the arms from helping a friend move, substitute a butt workout instead. It’s all about you!

High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)
Midsection May is all about building a strong, toned core. It uses daily cardio to burn fat and effective, targeted exercises to focus on your abs. One of the great things about the exercises used here is that most of them target multiple muscle groups- planks and plank variations work nearly your entire body while scissor crunches and others get your legs in the action for total body toning too!
