Summer is rapidly approaching and with it, the pressure to look and feel fabulous. The easiest option is to keep moving and eating well throughout the year, but it’s a little late for that now….. Which is why we’ll post a new food tip and exercise plan each day over the next 7 days. 
There’s something about a short-term challenge that appeals to a lot of us. It could be that we’re all commitment-phobic and have short attention spans, or it could be that we’d like a taste of success as soon as possible. If you’d like proof that all of this effort is worthwhile, why don’t you record the following before you start Day 1:
- Your waist measurement, right around your belly-button
- Your weight, taken first thing in the morning
- Your mood – rate how you feel on a scale of 1-5
We challenge you to put these plans into action. Boost your strength, fitness and energy with the daily exercise plans while you nourish your body with the healthy food ideas. A little tip to help you get started? Consider this challenge a treat, rather than a chore.
Food tip #1
Start your day with a glass of water, followed by a hot ginger and lemon drink. Simply pour boiling water over a peeled, thumb-sized piece of ginger and leave to steep for 5 minutes. Add the juice of half a lemon. Drink all of this before breakfast, it’s a great way to wake up your digestive system.
Fitness tip #1
We’ll keep it simple today. All you need to do is get moving. Go for a walk, or a run, or a combination of both for 30-45 minutes, depending on your fitness level.
