HIIT workout for time!!

I loved putting some of my clients through this workout this week! Quick, but effective!

200 jump rope
20 burpees
20 wall balls
20 mountain climber
20 jumping jacks

Repeat x3. 
Record your time each round and rest for 2 mins between each round. 

I think I had one client at 4:30 for her best round! See if you can beat it!

I also had my clients warm up before and cool down with a 100 kcal row.

Monday Meal Planning 101

Maybe even more important than regular exercise is a healthy diet!! The easiest way to eat well is to PLAN ahead! If you have good food, you will eat good food! So stock your fridge will healthy food that's easy to grab in a hurry. Here are a few steps to help you get started with a healthy food routine. 

1. Write out all of your meals for the week. Plan breakfasts, lunches, dinners, snacks, and small treats to stave off big cravings. 

2. Make your grocery list and head to the store. Do not impulse buy!! Your wallet and waistline will thank you. You already put in the work planning, so you may as well stick to it. 

3. When you get home, prepare and organize meals for the week. If you need to chop veggies, precook certain things, or put foods in measured containers, now is the time. 

4. Enjoy healthy and convenient foods all week!!

Remember that meal planning and prepping is a practice. Don't give up after one week if you overspend at the store or run out of food by day three. The more you do it, the more efficient you become.
