🔥🥩 Love a good BBQ but want to keep things lean and healthy?

It's all in the prep! Leaner cuts of meat are lower in fat but can sometimes end up a bit dry and tough if not cooked with care. But don't worry, we know the trick to keep them tender and juicy while they sizzle on the grill!

Marinades are your best friend here. Whip up a low-fat marinade with fresh pineapple juice, which has natural enzymes to tenderize the meat, or use vinegar for its flavor-boosting acidity. Add just a touch of healthy fat, like olive or avocado oil, and let your meat soak up all that goodness. This not only keeps the meat moist but also packs it with flavor.

Here's how to do it:
1. Blend some fresh pineapple juice or your choice of vinegar with herbs and spices.
2. Whisk in a small amount of olive oil for moisture.
3. Let your choice of cuts marinate for a few hours before grilling.

Remember, it's best to avoid sugary sauces that can cause flare-ups and char your meat. Stick to these natural, healthy options for a lip-smacking and nutritious BBQ.

Share your lean grilling successes with us! What's your favorite healthy marinade recipe?

Hydration is a hot topic, especially during the summer months. We all know it’s important to keep a water bottle handy when working out. But did you know that foods can hydrate you, too? 💦

🍉 This summer, add to your hydration game with water-rich fruits and veggies! Snack on favorites like watermelon, cucumber, and strawberries to help keep your body cool and energized for those sunny workouts. They’re delicious, nutritious, and perfect for a post-exercise refresh. Plus, they give your water and electrolyte intake a tasty boost! 🥒🍊

🔥 Keep Your “Why” Close to Your Heart! 🔥

Sometimes the path to our goals gets a little steep. That's when you need to remember WHY you started. Your “why” is the powerful reason that sparked your journey—whether it's to feel stronger, live healthier, or to crush a personal challenge. It’s the light that guides you through the tough days and the spark that fuels your fire.

When you're up before the sun for a run, or pushing through that last set, recall your “why”. Let it be the energy that drives each step, each rep, each choice toward healthy living. Write it down, put it on your lock screen, or just keep it at the forefront of your mind.

Let's shout out our “why” in the comments! What drives you? What's your fire starter?

Share it and let's inspire each other to keep that flame burning!

Ever wonder what keeps us going when the finish line seems miles away? For Tenth Legion Fitness, it's not the loud cheers or the high fives—it's the small, silent victories that fuel our fitness journey. 🤔💡

Sometimes… The greatest sources of inspiration are found in the unexpected, the everyday, or the overlooked!

What about you? What's your underrated source of motivation that keeps you going? Is it an adrenaline-pumping playlist? Is it the satisfaction of ticking off a workout from your to-do list, or the simple joy of stretching after a long session?

Share your unique inspiration with us!

🌞🏖️ As the waves kiss the shore and the horizon stretches wide, we're reminded that the beach isn’t just a place for repose—it's a natural gym crafted by the tides. With each sandy step, you're not just walking; you're pressing against nature's own resistance. Every sprint, jump, and burpee is intensified, bringing you that much closer to your fitness dreams!

"The beach isn’t just for resting, it's the ultimate sandy gym. Every footprint in the sand is a step closer to your fitness goals. Keep moving, the tide believes in your potential.”

Embrace the challenge. Embrace the change. Keep moving, because the whole ocean believes in your potential. 🌊💪

🍽️🔍 Eyeing the snack aisle with confusion? Here's a nutrition hack that's wildly “underrated” but incredibly effective: Become a food label guru! 🧐

It's not about obsessing over calories—it's about understanding what's fueling your body. Next time you're grocery shopping - look beyond the flashy front packaging and flip that box or can around and zoom in on the fiber content. High-fiber foods are not just good for digestion; they also help you feel fuller longer, stabilize blood sugar levels, and support your heart health.

So whether it's choosing whole grain bread with 5g of fiber per slice instead of white bread with 1g, or opting for a cereal that boasts 8g of fiber instead of 3g, you're making a choice that's better for your body. And while you're at it, keep an eye out for hidden sugars and sodium levels that can sabotage your health.

Let's make smarter choices one label at a time. 🌾💚 Share your finds and spread the wisdom of fiber!

Capture these moments and you’ll not only have heartwarming photos but also memories of shared laughter and healthy habits formed together. 👩‍👧‍👦

Share your parent-child beach fitness photos in your matching outfits, and let's spread the joy of family fitness! Tag us with your funniest plank challenge or most stylish beach jog. Let’s inspire other families to get moving and grooving in the sun, surf, and sand.

Ready, set, pose and flex! 📷💪

🌭🥗 Happy National Hot Dog Day, fitness friends! While this day traditionally celebrates a classic American treat, we're flipping the script for our health-conscious community. Introducing the FitDog — our twist on the hot dog that's scientifically designed to fuel your body and delight your taste buds!

✅ The Bun: Swap out the white bread for a high-fiber, whole-grain bun. It's not just about the calories; it's about the sustained energy release to power you through your day.

✅ The Dog: Ditch the processed meats in favor of a lean,lean turkey sausage rich in protein, grilled chicken sausage or a plant-based protein alternative. High in protein and low in saturated fats, these options support muscle repair and heart health.

✅ The Toppings: Load up on antioxidant-rich greens, diced tomatoes, and onions for a refreshing crunch and an immunity boost. Add a sprinkle of chia seeds for omega-3s and a dash of turmeric for its anti-inflammatory properties.

✅ The Sauce: Forget the sugary ketchup and mayo; opt for homemade avocado spread rich in healthy fats or a dab of mustard packed with turmeric and antioxidants.

This National Hot Dog Day, do your body a favor and indulge in a FitDog. It's the guilt-free way to join in the festivities while staying true to your fitness goals!

🔆🏊‍♦️ The pool isn't just for lounging - it's your aquatic arena for a full-body challenge. Water adds resistance without the impact, so it's perfect for both high-intensity training and recovery days. Here are some specific ways to use the pool to amp up your fitness routine:

Water Jogging: Forget the treadmill; water jogging is low impact and provides resistance that’s easy on your joints while torching calories.

Aqua Cycling: Take the spin class into the pool. Cycling underwater increases your effort, giving you a challenging and refreshing workout.

Pool Planks: Hold a pool noodle while keeping your body straight and afloat, and feel your core engage more intensely than any land workout could offer.

Pool Push-ups: Place your hands on the pool edge and push up against the water's resistance to target those upper body muscles.

Swim Intervals: Alternate between different strokes or sprinting one lap and light swimming the next. It’s a full-body workout that enhances both strength and endurance.

Water Yoga: Practice yoga poses in the shallow end to improve balance and flexibility with the water's gentle support.

This summer, the pool is where goals are made and met. Whether you’re swimming laps or mixing in these aquatic exercises, you’re bound to get a fantastic workout. So jump in — the water’s fine, and your fitness goals are within reach!

How are you using the pool to stay fit this summer? 💪🌞🌊
