I Heart Cardio Day


































I mean who doesn't love it:)

Another day of 30 seconds work 60 second rest for 20 rounds.

Changed exercises a little bit, no burpees or bike today (except for Lisa).

Alternating Firehose Slams
Sprint

Slacking on the video yesterday but I have one for today:




Nutrition Tip of the Day: Watch out for the colors red, orange, and yellow as they are meant to catch the eye, and fast food joints know this. Any wonder why Pizza Hut has a red roof, McDonalds has a red sign with yellow arches?

Bonus Tip:
Benefits of Fiber: makes you feel full longer, fights off free radicals (cancer causing items in our environment), stabilizes blood sugar, and helps reduce belly fat. Foods like beans, whole grains, fruits and veggies are loaded with fiber. Shoot to have at least 25 grams of fiber per day.

NTof the D (Nutrition Tip of the Day as Missy would say)

Here are five ways in which you can enjoy your fruits and veggies that you may not have thought of before

1. Mix a bag of shredded cabbage with a little light coleslaw dressing, chopped apples or canned pineapple chunks are optional

2. Add grated carrots or zuchinni to spaghetti sauce

3. Pop frozen grapes or blueberries in your mouth for a sorbet like treat

4. Cut sweet potatoes into half inch strips and roast them for an alternative to french fries

5. Fill a halved cantaloupe with lemon flavored yogurt

Nutrition tip of the day:

Making nutrition a priority
Eating supportively takes a lot of consistency, persistence and planning. Preplanning your meals is one of the most important actions you can take to eat supportively over time. Pre planning your meals also sets and objective and keeps you on track to eating supportively over time. Set a goal to eat a protein and a fibrous carb (fruit or veggie) with every meal (including snacks).

Monday Cardio Session
































How about 20 rounds of 30 second high intensity and 60 second recovery???

The MOOsers did it today without missing a beat. Totally killed it today.

Stations were:

Bike
Burpees
Box Jump
Firehose
Sprints

Benchmarks were set and the MOOsers smashed through them. They had to beat two of their personal records and did just that. Not a bad start to week 5. Measurements are due in two weeks, we are all anxious as their old pants are falling down and things are changing. Stay tuned for the 6 week results next week.

Here's a video of today:
