Oh, and I almost forgot...I have a new blog...its going to cover all of your questions about fat loss...a little different than this blog which covers everything about health, fitness and the TT lifestyle...so I named the new blog Fat Loss



Now for this week's diet and workout plan...


Monday – March 8

The weather is nice and folks are starting to run...BUT...



If you decide to use running as your form of interval training, make sure you have good running shoes, always do an extra thorough warm-up and choose a safe running surface (grass or trails rather than pavement or concrete). If you use a treadmill, please operate it safely.


Now for this week's workout...

“Bodyweight Interval Training”

- Do as many bodyweight squats as you can do in 5 minutes.

- You can break this up into however many sets and reps as you want (i.e. do sets of 10 or sets of 20 or sets till you can’t go no more and then rest however long you want).

- Each week try to do more squats in the same amount of time.


Tuesday
Do something fun for 30 minutes activity. And get outside and into some sunshine for more energy.

Saturday

Social support...chill with some friends...but don't have a cheat day!

Instead, have a reward meal...



The "reward meal" is just psychological. Rewards you. I don't believe a cheat meal boosts fat loss physiologically.


Sunday

Plan, shop, & prepare!



I introduced some new foods to my diet...



a) Ezekial bread and cereal

b) Chipotle hummus



Hey, come drop by my kitchen and check out my renovations...
