Try to be more active today by working in the yard, walking the dog, taking the stairs or just standing up every hour and stretching out your body.
Strength & Flexibility: Legs
Legs: Choose the same workout you did last week, but add 2 reps to each exercise:
Lower Body Blast
Hips, Butt & Thighs
Quick Fix Lower Body
Perform at least 2 sets (and up to 4) of 14 reps for each exercise, using enough weight that you can ONLY complete 14 reps. Rest 30-60 seconds between sets.
Nutrition Focus: Cookies
I realize that the recipe I'm giving you today is in no way low-calorie, low-fat, low-whatever. However, I'm a big fan of balance--and that means having something scrumptious on occasion. Today can be that occasion for you if you make these yummy cookies. Please remember to eat a reasonable portion and then give the rest away so you won't be tempted to eat them all...they're THAT good.
Motivation
Here's another benefit of exercise: relaxation. This ties right in with the whole stress-reduction benefit I mentioned a few days ago. Yes, exercising reduces stress which, in turn, can help you relax. Think about it...aren't you able to enjoy life a little more after you've worked out? Do you shoulders feel looser, your attitude calmer? Take some time today to appreciate how you feel after your workout and remember...it's not just about the changes in your body, it's about the changes in your quality of life.
