We hope you enjoyed your day of rest yesterday, because the next 3 days are tougher. There’s a lot of evidence that short, high-intensity sessions are better for us than longer, more moderate exercise. It’s easier to fit into our day, gets results faster and sends endorphin levels through the roof. So let’s get on with it!
Food tip #5
Whenever I look over a new client’s food diary, they seem to be lacking in protein. Protein keeps us fuller for longer and is important in the chain of events that leads to increased seratonin.
So your challenge for today is to include some protein with every meal or snack. Have eggs for brekkie, add a few nuts to your usual piece of fruit, include lean meat with your lunch and seafood or plenty of legumes with dinner.
Fitness tip #5
This is another plan that uses a timer. Do each of the following exercises continuously for 1-minute, then move straight to the next exercise without a break:
- Wide squats
- Alternate lunges
- Tricep dips
- Kneeling squats (pictured)
- Back extensions
- Plank
Relax for a minute, then repeat 2 more sets
