This week, you're doing the same interval workout I assigned last week. Remember that interval workouts involve increasing your intensity for short periods of time and then recovering. This allows you to work harder and burn more calories, while building endurance in a shorter period of time. Your goal this week is to add 5 minutes to your workout. Feelfree to go back to previous workouts if they work better for you.
Beginners: Continue with the Treadmill Interval Workout, but add 5 minutes to the length of the workout.
Intermediate/Advanced: Treadmill Medley Workout
Strength and Flexibility Focus: Flexibility
Do your Stretching Workout after you cool down from your cardio workout.
Nutrition Focus: The Truth About Low-Carb Diets
There's a lot of hype these days about more protein, less carbs. Today you'll learn a bit more about low-carb diets--what they involve and the advantages/disadvantages of following them. My article, The Truth About Low-Carb Diets, provides an overview of these types of diets to help you decide how to make your diet healthier.
Motivation
If you're finding it hard to eat healthy, maybe you're focusing too much on what you're giving up rather than what you're getting. Instead of taking things away, try adding more nutritional foods to your meals...and eat them first. Add a fruit and vegetable to your usual lunch...you may find it easier to skip the fatty foods once you fill up with a little fiber. It's much easier to eat healthy when you add healthy foods instead of forbidding naughty ones and you may just find you feel more energetic when you eat healthier.
