Be sure to move around today--walk whenever you can and stand up every so often to stretch.
Strength and Flexibility Focus: Full Body Strength
Today's workout is the same as last week. However, you have a challenge: Add one more set to each exercise. For beginners, this means you'll be doing 2 sets instead of one. Be sure to adjust your weight as needed and take your time with each move. Make sure you're lifting enough weight to challenge your body and modify the workout as needed.
Beginners: Continue with the Full Body Workout & Ab workout from last week. Challenge: Add one set to each exercise
Intermediate/Advanced: Continue with your Total Body Superset Workout & Dynamic Abs or visit my Workout Center for more ideas. Challenge: Add more weight (5 or more lbs) to each exercise
Nutrition Focus: The South Beach Diet
There's been plenty of talk about the South Beach Diet and this week you'll delve into it a little to find out what it's all about. Although the author says this isn't a low-carb diet, it does start out that way. Like many diets, the first 2 weeks is fairly restrictive and then it gets a little easier to follow. Check out these South Beach Diet resources to learn what it's all about.
Motivation
As you've probably found, it's often hard to motivate yourself to eat healthy. Sometimes, you can't rely on motivation alone--you need to set up your environment to support healthy eating. One of the easiest ways to do this is to stop keeping naughty foods in your house. I don't know about you but, in my house, if there's junk in the pantry, I'll eat it. If it's not, I'm way too lazy to drive to the store to get it. Try getting rid of things that tempt you--out of sight, out of mind can be a huge help in eating healthy!
