Cardio Focus: Endurance and Variety

Option 1: Choose one of the workouts on my Boredom Busters page OR
Option 2: Repeat the workout you did on Day 31

As always, feel free to substitute your own cardio workout.

Strength and Flexibility Focus: Flexibility

Remember to Stretch after your cardio workout.

Nutrition Focus: Treats!

It's okay to have a treat sometimes...and they don't even have to contain the word 'low' (as in low-fat, low-cal, etc.). Enjoy a little of your favorite treat. Add some fruit on top and you've just made it healthier.

Motivation

Reward yourself! You've made it through 5 weeks of exercise and healthy eating, so it's time to do something nice for yourself. I've mentioned this before, but it bears repeating--try not to reward yourself with food (which may have helped you gain a little weight in the past). Instead, choose activities you enjoy but rarely have time for--reading a good book, listening to your favorite CD, playing golf, watching your favorite TV show, etc. Take some time to enjoy something and pat yourself on the back for a job well done.
