Eating healthy starter kit
Clean out the fridge and pantry! Bite down your guilt and just throw away packaged foods and cereals with more than 5g of sugar per serving. Chuck all artificial drinks and junk foods! I know…it’s hard to throw stuff away.
- Make over one meal at a time: Start with building a better breakfast. Once you get the hang of that, move on to other meals.
- Snacks should always be natural.
- 5 servings of vegetables a day
- Start finding substitutes for white, refined flours (i.e. lentils and beans with brown rice instead of white rice)
Ready to get fit:
- Work out upper body, lower body, and core each 2x a week. You don’t have to do them all the same day.
- Mix in cardio like jump-roping (do you have cardio equipment like a treadmill?)
- Good equipment to have: balance ball, 5-15 lb weights
- Aim for 30 minutes in your home gym, 4x a week.
- Always start with warm-up exercises.
- Always stretch after your workouts to prevent any other injuries
- Remember fitness is a combination of cardio, strength, and flexibility.
Hit all 3 and you’re doing great!

Great article in september issue of Oxygen magazine. My favorite part: “Love food that loves you back: remember that nutritious, clean food will always treat you better than sugary, fatty or processed foods”

‘How to’ video on back extensions. A good exercise to finish up your glute/leg routine. “Don’t stop at neutral; come up the extra bit at the hips by squeezing the glutes - it’s much harder this way.”
