SPOTLIGHT MOVE: Walking Planks
These are awesome for abs, back, arms and chest. They are hard, but get over it and challenge your body!
Start on your forearms in plank position. Raise yourself to a straight arm plank by “stepping up” with your right arm, then left arm. Go down with the right arm then left arm to return to starting position. That is one rep. Repeat 8 times, or as many times as you can, and then switch starting arm for the next 8. You can also do this move on your knees and work up to your toes.
I’m not sure why, but it always seems as though we use “holidays” as a big fat excuse to overeat. Well…one of those holidays is coming up. Easter is a great time for celebration with family and friends but tends to center around sugary food, brunches and dinners. And let’s face it, whether or not you are at an age where Easter Egg Hunts are appropriate J, Easter candy is a temptation. So make your plan now and keep on track with your healthy eating and exercise plan. Here are a few tips to help you out this weekend:
1. Get up early and go for a walk/run/gym session. If you work out in the morning, you are more likely to make better food choices throughout your day.
3. Fill your plate…with veggies, that is! Make sure at least half of your brunch/dinner plate is veggie filled, then let yourself have what you want on the other half.
4. Chew some gum. Going to a gathering with bowls of candy, chips and dip layed out, etc.? Pop in a piece of gum…no one likes to snack with gum in their mouth J
Have a great weekend, celebrating and staying healthy!
There’s never been a veggie that I haven’t liked, however, my experience with brussels Sprouts was pretty much nil until Thanksgiving and then again today. I made them all by myself and they were delicious! The bad wrap that they get is totally unfounded. These cancer-fighting cruciferous veggies are packed with vitamin C, fiber and folate. So go get some at the store and roast them up like this:
Trim stems and slice brussels sprouts in half. Toss in olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper to taste. Spread sprouts on a cookie sheet (pre-sprayed with cooking spray) and roast for 20 minutes at 400 degrees, giving the pan a little shake every five minutes or so.
Enjoy!!
