School starts in two weeks, and i want to make sure i’m as fit as possible by then. My goal is eventually to lose 10 pounds, but i don’t know if that’ll happen by then. Anyways, here’s my diet/work out plan:
Run 1 mile @ 6mph on treadmill.
then, 45 minutes of walking at 10 incline @ 4mph.
100 lunges
150 crunches
30 pushups
and this ab workout 4 times.
(this is the ab workout program:
slow mountain climbers
works: abs, obliques, shoulders, arms
a. Get into a push-up position with your hands placed on a bench (or the edge of your bed or sofa). Keep your abs tight so your body forms a straight line from your ankles to the top of your head.
b. Slowly bring your right knee in toward your belly as far as you can while keeping your body in a straight line (you should feel your abs tightening), then return to position A. Repeat with your left leg. Do as many reps as you can in 1 minute.
side plank
works: abs, obliques, shoulders
a. Get into a side plank so you’re balanced on your left forearm and the outside edge of your left foot. Your body should form a straight line from your feet to your head. Keeping your abs tight, hold for 30 seconds, then switch sides and hold for another 30 seconds.
dead bug
works: abs, back
a. Lie on the floor with your arms and legs pointed toward the ceiling.
b. Abs tight simultaneously lower your right arm and left leg as close as you can to the floor without touching it.
c. Bring your leg and arm back up, then immediately repeat the move on your other side, lowering your left arm and right leg.
With your back pressed to the floor, alternate between positions B and C for 1 minute.
leg scissors
works: abs, inner thighs
a. Lie with your hands under your butt so your index fingers and thumbs form a triangle. With abs tight, lower your legs as close as you can to the floor, then spread them into a V with your feet 3 feet apart.
b. Keeping your legs straight, scissor them together until your right leg crosses over the top of your left. Return to A, then scissor again, but with your left leg on top. Continue scissoring your legs, alternating each leg on top, for 1 minute.
alternating crunch
works: abs, obliques
a. Lie on your back with your knees bent and two fingers placed behind each side of your head. Use your abs to crunch up, imagining that a string is pulling your right shoulder toward your left knee (keep your elbows wide and don’t tuck your chin or pull on your head).
b. Relax your abs to return your head to the floor, then repeat on the other side. Do as many reps as you can in 1 minute.
single-leg push-down
works: abs
a. Lie with your hands under your butt so your index fingers and thumbs form a triangle. Then, keeping your feet together, raise your legs up straight toward the ceiling.
b. Keeping your abs tight, slowly lower your left leg as close as you can to the floor without touching it, then return to position A. Repeat on the other leg. Do as many reps as you can in 1 minute. )
then, i’ll only eat about 1200 calories a day. No refined sugar or anything. i’ll only eat whole wheat grains, fresh fruits & veggies, and lean meat.
