Tuck jumps are the most ridiculous exercise to EVER do at the gym. A lot people hate these, but after being made to hold one for eight minutes during rowing training, one minute is bearable.Ģ. Regarding Week 7 workouts, I have two main points:ġ. Well, let me just tell you that getting myself to the gym four times a week and only having one McDonalds combo classifies as a fitness addiction for me - but each to their own. I'm guessing you're the one's going twice a day, seven days a week, and your "cheat day" consists of treating yourself to cheese on your salad. Some may laugh and say one workout a day is not nearly enough to be classified as an addiction. Despite being ridiculously tired at the end of the work day or incredibly hungover on a Sunday - I actually get that little urge, that internal tug, to go to the gym. Addicted to making sure there's no little red app notifications on my iPhone? Yes. Addicted to getting a manicure every fortnight? Yes.
TessaĪddicted to Chicken McCheese combos? Yes. I don't feel bad about my lack of pushups last week. It's not like my body has done anything super strenuous the last few days. After a week without some strength training, I feel mentally ready to do it, and hopefully my body does too. I mean, I've done the exercises, but not well. I looked through the new exercises this morning and there's nothing there that I haven't done. Where does that leave me this week? I'm going to start Week 8 in the Sweat app. Perhaps prioritising BBG and saying "no" to whatever event or task can wait would have helped. What I can take away from this is an opportunity to reverse-engineer the week and see what the pitfalls were, so that they can be avoided in the future. I feel a little guilty for not keeping up with BBG at Week 7. I've exercised at my in-laws home my family knows I like to stay active. Surely my family would have understood if I needed to take a little time out to work out. Step five: box jumps You are ready Here it is, the moment you have been working towards. Focus on really tucking your knees towards your chest and try to land softly. I wanted to enjoy the company of my family without the stress of fitting another workout in. Tuck jumps are also an awesome way to improve your coordination and teach you the explosive movements you need for a box jump. But I decided to cut myself a break and leave them behind. Do I bring them, or not? Working out is more fun in new and beautiful surroundings. This weekend, as I packed for a weekend away with family, I had a 30-second stare down with my running shoes. I'd be buzzed up until 11 or midnight, then wake up five hours later for the early shift. Sure, I could have worked out, but then I wouldn't be able to get any quality sort of sleep. When it came around to 8 or 9pm at night, I faced the decision to either fit in a strength workout or get sleep. They really help motivate not only me, but the entire BBG Community each and every day.I tried to fit in a couple of cardio sessions during the week.
If you look at who I follow on Instagram, it’s mainly the girls who do my program! It’s such a wonderful group of women and together, we’ve become the biggest fitness community in the world. I draw my inspiration from the BBG Community. Who is your inspiration, be it body or business? I love adding a tuck-jump or push-up to increase the intensity of the move as well. They help work a number of muscle groups, you can do them pretty much anywhere and there are so many variations you can use. I’m probably in the minority, but I absolutely love burpees! Haha, people always laugh at me when I say this. All time favourite workout move or sport? Kathleen Kamphausen Stand with your feet about hips-width apart and your hands interlaced at chest level.
Preparing these meals the night before can help you avoid being rushed in the morning, and can reduce the temptation to buy convenience food during the day. If you are freshening up an existing bed, you can jump right in. This is where meal prepping can be really helpful! It’s great to get into the habit of packing a bag with healthy snacks and something simple for lunch (such as a salad with rice or a wrap). Now tuck in the flat sheet, keeping the folded corner tightly in place to create a neat. I’m a big believer in being as realistic as possible when it comes to eating the foods we enjoy, so I think treating yourself to the foods you love every now and then is fine, in moderation of course! I personally don’t have a set day that I will have a cheat meal, but I do have a bit of a weakness for Tiramisu, so if I see it on the menu I’ll always have to get it! Any advice for staying healthy on the go during the day when you might not have access to a kitchen? Do you have ‘cheat meals’? If so, what’s your favourite thing to have as a treat?
