A week of health, well done! But don’t feel obliged to stop here. Choose the food and fitness challenges that worked for you and keep them going. Maybe an alcohol-free month? Or a checklist to make sure you’re eating enough fruit & veg each day? Treat-free Tuesdays? And a good variety of high-intensity training sessions, with the occasional day of rest. You’ll be feeling fabulous long before summer arrives.
Food tip #7
Water. Lots of it. Keep track of how much you’re drinking and make sure you get through around 2 litres of water and herbal teas a day, more if you’re exercising. Remember that tea, coffee and soft drinks don’t count.
Fitness tip #7
Welcome to the 100 Club. Your challenge for today is to do 100 of each of the exercises below, somehow. You can set aside half an hour and do as many of each exercise as you can, as many times as it takes to get to 100. Or you can break them into sets of 10-15 spread throughout the day. (I’d go with option ‘a’, you’ll feel like you’ve had an amazing workout).
- Squats
- Push-ups
- Lunges (left)
- Lunges (right)
- Tricep dips
- Abdominal crunches
That’s it, 7 days of food & fitness behind you. Watch this space for more fitness challenges while we all wait for Spring 2013 to get here. But for now,…..
