The end result will be a healthier you. The holidays can also bring a great deal of stress into your everyday routine. Remembering to eat healthy and exercise will help alleviate that stress and allow you to enjoy the coming celebrations! The Plan: New Year’s Countdown
5 Meals per day
4 Cardio Workouts per week
3 Resistance Training Workouts
per week
2 Sprint Workouts per week
1 Gallon of Water per day
5 Portion Controlled, Balanced Meals Per Day. Eating small amounts of food often throughout the day will keep your metabolism (the body’s calorie burning mechanism) functioning at its optimal level. Try to spread out your meals evenly throughout the day, taking in to consideration what time you get up in the morning, when you exercise, and what time you go to bed at night. Use the “CLEAN EATING” section of this website from the home page as your guideline. Member Benefits: - Use the food log screens to track your meals. - Use the food reference guide to see options for every food group, serving sizes, and calorie amounts. - Consult with the Registered Dietitian for specific meal plans.
4 Cardio Workouts, Approximately 30 to 45 minutes Per Week. Cardiovascular workouts are important for keeping a healthy heart, and burning calories. You should aim to keep a consistent pace throughout the duration of the workout. Cardio workouts can include activities such as walking, running, dancing, swimming, cycling, etc. Member Benefits: - Calculate your Target Heart Rate (THR) to determine your cardio heart rate zone. - Have a variety of cardiovascular workouts sent to you, so that you have an exact plan to follow.
3 Resistance Training Workouts Per Week. Resistance workouts, or those that involve weight training with short periods of rest, are important for muscle building and toning. Neglecting weight training, even for a short period of time, can lead to the loss of muscle tissue. In addition to providing shape and support to your body, muscles burn more calories at rest than any other body tissue. In short, “muscles are your friend” if you are trying to maintain or lose weight. Even when YOU are resting, YOUR MUSCLES are not!! You should aim to work all the major muscle groups in your body at least 1 time per week. Member Benefits: - Have resistance training workouts based on your goals and skill level sent to you so that you have an exact plan to follow. Video demos and trainer tips are included. - Use tracking charts to see your progress. 2 Sprint Workouts Per Week. Sprint workouts consist of short, intense, full exertion exercise alternated with periods of rest. Sprints are often mistaken for cardio, but in fact, they are actually more like a muscle workout. Sprints allow you to get a maximal calorie burn, while promoting muscle tissue retention. Your sprint workouts should be approximately 20 minutes in duration. Member Benefits: - Combo+ members receive specific sprint workout examples to follow.
1 Gallon of Water Per Day. Water, water, water!!! Keeping your body hydrated is important for maintaining energy and curbing hunger. Thirst is often mistaken for hunger, which leads to more caloric intake. A well hydrated body also will retain less water, so shedding excess water weight can be a side effect. Avoiding other beverages will also eliminate many unwanted extra calories, sugars, and fats from your diet that you may not even have realized were there. Your goal should be to consume approximately 1 gallon, or 120 ounces each day.
