Momentum...

Today is all about Momentum.  Now that you have detoxed and set a foundation for yourself, it’s time to take things up a notch.  Since you have changed your diet and removed all the junk out of your system, you are going to have much more energy than you think. This part is all about consistency. 

Start to intensify your workout.  Add in push ups and more weight training.  Add in squat jumps and squat twists.  For cardio, add intensity by doing jumping jacks, side shuffle and high knees through cones or even just in square.  Make it fun for yourself.  Set up circuits and spend about 1-2 minutes at each and then rotate.  For example, set up 4 stations: 1. Upper body can be as simple as push ups 2. Core can be plank or sit ups 3. Lower body can be lunges or squats 4. Can be cardio and you can jump rope or do jumping jack.  The beauty of this that you can add as many as you want, perform whatever exercises you feel a need for  and you can spend as much time at each station as you want. 

As for the nutrition, through the detox process you are focusing on restriction of what you can and cannot eat.  Now it is time to see what you can add in your diet.  If you make something as simple as a white fish, try adding spices and herbs to flavor it up.  Plus, most spices and herbs have health benefits that you won’t get from other foods.  For example, thyme stimulates your immune system and parsley can tame asthma.  The most important thing here is keeping the portion size in mind!  Try pouched eggs with roasted tomatoes on a whole wheat English muffin and add thyme, Very Yummy!

Good Luck!
