This week’s giveaway is courtesy of our friends at the Cherry Marketing Institute.
Even though I’ve always been a fan of tart cherries -they’re a refreshing and antioxidant-rich summer fruit- I’ve recently learned about the benefits for athletes. Soreness after a workout is caused by a combination of inflammation, muscle damage and oxidative stress. Research suggest that the natural compounds in Montmorency tart cherries, including anthocyanins, may aid in faster recovery, decreased muscle pain, and less muscle damage when consumed prior to working out, as well as after. Recent studies have suggested that tart cherries not only reduce inflammation, but can aid in recovery following strenuous exercise. Cheers to that! We can all meet for a virtual tart cherry juice date after the Week 2 workouts, k? 🙂
One of my favorite acai bowls uses tart cherry juice as the base; it’s perfect after a long run.
To reap the benefits of tart cherries, you can enjoy the frozen variety (they’d be amazing in a chocolate-cherry smoothie), dried tart cherries (instead of cranberries in these trail mix muffins) or the juice (in a homemade acai bowl). Anne also included a couple fun breakfast smoothie and snack tart cherry recipes in the week 2 meal plan to get you inspired!
You can find tart cherry juice or juice concentrate in the supermarket or you can buy it online. Mix it with water or take it straight!
Our tart cherry friends are offering one lucky Summer Shape Up participant a grab bag of the following items:
Fitness bag (in red)
Headbands (in white/black)
Water bottle (in Chili Red)
Jawbone Up (in red)
Tart cherries; dried, juice and concentrate
To enter this giveaway, leave a comment each day on the Week 2 Workout page (<—click to enter) with your daily workout. You can enter once every day from now until next Sunday (6/29) and I’ll announce the lucky winner in the Week 3 post.
Here’s to a successful and sweaty Week 2!

What a generous giveaway! I’m excited for week 2.
Rest day today, foam rolling and zoning out FTW.
Loved the week one workout! Sunday consisted of a 45 spin class, WO 1, & meal prep for the week. Looking forward to week two! For some reason, I haven’t been getting the emails even though I have been on the listserv for several years (rechecked the subscribe button so maybe that will do it). Thanks for the Summer Shape Up!
Looks fun! I love all the workouts- they’re great inspiration!
Doing the happy dance cause I was one of the winners from last week. Am I still eligible for the rest of the prizes, if not, I totally understand, don’t want to look greedy! Love the shape ups and the give aways just make it that much better!

Today was my rest day.
I enjoyed a nice hour long steady state of walking while pushing my stroller 🙂
Very limited time to work out today. Hubby was working late and my toddler never stops moving. Made it through one round of workout #2, got in a decnt walk and lots of outdoor play time!
Today’s workout will be a bodypump class!
I worked on Olympic lifting drill today!
woke up early to do HIIT workout and then 1 hr prana vinyasa yoga class tonight!
I had every intention of doind a quick workout this morning but my body was just not feeling it…so I listened! A well deserved rest day today 🙂
I will be taking a day off. I have to study for school! fun, fun (thumbs down)
Still in recovery so swimming today (45 minutes) followed by the PT stretches.
I forgot to check in last night!! I completed 30 minutes of steady state cardio on the treadmill last night. I did Tone It Up’s fat burning treadmill workout and was dripping sweat at the end. Felt great though. Round 2 of workout 2 is tonight…wish me luck!
