Staying Healthy: Fitness Advice
Rules & Tips
1. Drink at least 8 tall glasses of water per day.
If you don't like water, you can make green tea (without sugar) and keep it in the fridge or make fruit-infused water (really simple, just google it!)
2. Have a decent breakfast.
3. Eat protein in every single meal.
4. Try to eat apples and/or berries every day.
5. Stay motivated: Don't do it because you have to - do it because you want to.
6. Avoid late-night snacking. Your metabolism slows down at night, so your food will turn into fat to store rather than fat to burn.
"It feels better to say 'I did it' than to say 'I give up'."
For the witty bootcampers:
Okay, so since it's our first day, I'll give you a bit of everything.
I only have a few basic rules for you before we start:
♢ Always have water with you.
♢ Do it properly, but at your own pace.
20 Lateral steps & pulls
20 Slow rocking butt kickers
20 High knee pulls
30 Standing torso twists
60 Second jog in place
10 Bodyweight Squats
60 Second boxer shuffle
10 Cross-toe touches
20 Squats and jumps
Technically these are warm-ups, but the intensity will increase daily!
Also, because of the timezones, I will post the exercises for tomorrow tonight.
When you snack
I want you to snack healthy. Remember to have a nice breakfast (I LOVEE wholewheat bagels or bread with tomato and cottage cheese), but as for snacks I have a few suggestions for you, try to follow those over the weekend instead of grabbing that bag of doritos /drools
1. Tomato slices with feta cheese, a bit of olive oil and maybe some black pepper on top.
2. Baked sweet potatoes (http://www.parenting.com/article/baked-sweet-potato-fries)
3. In starbucks, get the tall skinny latte. If you're like me and love the vanilla late, just ask for them to add some vanilla onto your skinny! (:
4. BANANAS. You can also make this sort of egg & banana only pancakes.
5. Fruit flavoured yoghurts (I really like activia or dannon's light & fit)
6. Avocado! I love crushing avocado, adding a bit of lemon to it and just having it like that! You can also add it to your sandwiches if you want, it tastes fa-bu-lous.
I'll post more later! I'm going out!
I'm here for you if you need anything (:
