A COLLECTION OF INSIGHTS & EDUCATION TO KEEP YOU INFORMED

Summer has come and gone and winter now looms on the horizon…it is this time of year when the comfort of your warm bed is far more inviting than stepping out for boot camp. Don’t let this weather stop you from continuing your success and getting into the best shape of your life. Summer bodies are made NOW!

Do these 5 things NOW to quickly get yourself into shape even through winter…

1. Eat more Veggies: Your mum was right, eating vegetables really is a good idea, especially when preparing to shimmy into a bathing suit in a few months time. Why? There are a couple of reasons. First, veggies are low in calories and high in fiber, which means that you’re filling up without packing on the fat. Second, the vitamins and minerals in fresh vegetables nourish your body and cut down on cravings.

2. Add five Minutes: Each week, I want you to add 5 minutes to your workouts. Just five more minutes. The slight increase from week to week will hardly be noticeable, but the extra fat burn will pay off nicely. Use these extra five minutes to do intense burst of exercise, such as burpees, squat presses and walking lunges.

3. Double up on Water: Not only will staying extra hydrated help your skin to have a healthy glow, it will also speed up your fat loss efforts. Most of us are walking around in a state of chronic dehydration, which contributes to fatigue, stubborn weight gain and constipation. By drinking more water throughout the day, and by limiting your intake of caffeinated beverages, you’ll become healthier, more radiant, and sexier 🙂

4. Eat low Carb (after 4pm): One of the easiest ways to drop a few inches around your waist is to eat low carb after 4pm each day. This means eating dinners that are centred around salads and vegetables rather than breads and pastas. If you simply must have your oatmeal or whole grain bread each day, then eat it for breakfast or lunch and give low carb dinners a try. Don’t forget that sugar counts as carbs, so skip that sugary dessert and try a serve of fruit for dessert.
