Rules &
Tips
1. Drink at least 8 tall glasses of water per day.
If you don't like water, you can make green tea (without
sugar) and keep it in the fridge or make fruit-infused water
(really simple, just google it!)
2. Have a decent breakfast.
3. Eat protein in every single meal.
4. Try to eat apples and/or berries every day.
5. Stay motivated: Don't do it because you have to - do
it because you want to.
6. Avoid late-night snacking. Your metabolism slows down at
night, so your food will turn into fat to store rather than
fat to burn.
"It feels better to say 'I did it' than to say 'I give up'."
For the witty
bootcampers:
Okay, so since it's our first day, I'll give you a
bit of everything.
I only have a few basic rules for you before we start:
♢ Always have water
with you.
♢ Do it properly, but at your own pace.
20 Lateral steps & pulls
20 Slow rocking butt kickers
20 High knee pulls
30 Standing torso twists
60 Second jog in place
10 Bodyweight Squats
60 Second boxer shuffle
10 Cross-toe touches
20 Squats and jumps
Technically these are warm-ups, but the intensity
will increase daily!
Also, because of the timezones, I will post the exercises for
tomorrow tonight.
When you snack
I want you to snack healthy. Remember to have a nice
breakfast (I LOVEE wholewheat bagels or bread with tomato and
cottage cheese), but as for snacks I have a few suggestions
for you, try to follow those over the weekend instead of
grabbing that bag of doritos /drools
1. Tomato slices with feta cheese, a bit of olive oil and
maybe some black pepper on top.
2. Baked sweet potatoes
(http://www.parenting.com/article/baked-sweet-potato-fries)
3. In starbucks, get the tall
skinny latte. If you're like me and love the vanilla
late, just ask for them to add some vanilla onto your skinny!
(:
4. BANANAS. You can also make this sort of egg & banana
only pancakes.
5. Fruit flavoured yoghurts (I really like activia or
dannon's light & fit)
6. Avocado! I love crushing avocado, adding a bit of lemon to
it and just having it like that! You can also add it to your
sandwiches if you want, it tastes fa-bu-lous.
I'll post more later! I'm going out!
I'm here for you if you need anything (:

what are lateral steps and pulls? what are slow rocking butt kickers? difference between bodyweight squats and normal squats? (I have never really exercised before. ever.)
You are pretty awesome for doing this btw
as for breathing though, i know it can be really annoying to be breathless, so just avoid shallow breathing, have a controlled pace of deep breaths. I won't be putting running up on the page because not everyone can just go out to run, but when I run, I have a controlled pace, like 1,2,3 steps - breathe in 1,2 breathe out, so on so forth (:
