Your everday workout regimen:

Here's a great way to start getting Summer ready: Your 30 day workout, Diet/Beauty tips below:

For the next 30 days do the following: (no excuses) Workout Title: TERRIFIC TWENTY-FIVE
(THIS STARTS TOMORROW MAY 12TH, 2010)

• 25 push ups (start with knees on the floor if full body extension is too hard, butt, head, shoulders, legs are all level)
• 25 squats (legs shoulder width apart, toes turned out slightly, butt down, shoulders back, back ached, go below parallel)
• 25 sit ups (legs at about 30 degrees, back, head and shoulders are aligned, go all the way down and all the way up. Tip: tighten your stomach and hold your breath when you come up, quick inhale on the way down...repeat)
• 25 jumping jacks (clap your hands at the top of each jumping jack)
• 25 lunges (90 degree angles for both front and back legs, knees DO NOT slam to the floor ever)
• 25 burpees (keep your butt down, knees drive into your chest with each leg cycle)
• 25 sec push up hold (get into push up position, straight legs, straight arms, butt down, head, shoulders and butt are in one straight line, hold this position for 25 sec)

It is not going to be easy if you are not accustomed to working out, but be patient with yourself.  This requires no equipment and not a lot of space.  This can be done right next to ur bed as u get up in the morning.  For the 1st two-three days, take as many rests as you need....then push yourself to finish all 25 in one shot.  Find a rhythm, stick with it and when you feel like u can't do anymore, tighten your stomach and dig in further.  So, let me know how it goes.

In 15 days: take it up a notch by timing yourself, remember you are doing this everyday, so write your time down on day 15, 16, 17 and so on, and see if there is an improvement on day 30.  I will be putting up my scores as well. (Don't be afraid, we all have a starting point and yes, I need to do better as well.)

Diet tip:
Last week we reduced out juice intake and eliminated sodas, substituting these with water.  This week, cut out fried/processed foods and potatoes/potato products.  That includes chips, french fries, home fries..., irish potatoes, english potatoes, sweet potatoes anything made from potatoes.  A healthy sub for potatoes: squash of any kind.  Dig in.

Tomorrow I'll upload a workout playlist that you can try...
