When you’re trying to stick with a healthier lifestyle, it’s important not to compare yourself to anyone else. Who cares if they never skip a training session? It doesn’t make them any better than you. And does it really matter if someone else can ‘effortlessly’ give up chocolate, while you struggle to give up for just one day? You’ll never know what is going on behind the scenes in their life, much like they’ll never fully understand yours. So, stick with what you do know. Push yourself, challenge yourself and always remember to congratulate yourself along the way.
Food tip #3
Give up the good stuff. All treats are off-limits for today. That means, no muffins, no chocolate, no chips, no lollies, no soft-drink, no ice cream, no pastries… basically nothing processed and nothing that you’re likely to find in a convenience store. Like yesterday, feel free to keep up this challenge for the rest of the week.
Fitness tip #3
Start today’s training by walking or running for 15 minutes. It’s shorter than usual, so make it faster than usual.
Once you get back home or to a park you’d like to train in, all you need to do is planks and bridges (below). Hold a plank for as long as you can, then roll over and hold a bridge for as long as you can. Do 4 sets in total.
