How Many Meals Per Week?
How many meals per week are you planning on having? Are you strictly a 3 squares a day eater, a 5 mini meals a day grazer, or are you a mix of both? Let's say you're a mix of both and you average about 4 meals a day. In a week that totals about 28 meals. Why is this number so important? Because when losing weight you can only afford to cheat 10% of the time. 28 x 10% = 2.8. That's 25 super healthy meals and 3 more lenient meals. This calculation gives you something to focus on each week.
How Many Workouts or Active Hours Per Week?
Whether you want to accept it or not, you can not lose weight permanently unless you get active and stay active. You don't need to spend hours in the gym working out, or have a library of fitness dvd's to stay fit but you do have to invest some time moving in a variety of ways, which is what your body was made to do. Find a handful of different activities that you like or can learn to like. Schedule them the following way.
Option 1:
10 minute fullbody strength workout 3x per week
20 minute cardio and core workout 2x per week
60 minute cardio and flexibility workout 1x per week
Option 2:
30 minute fullbody circuit workout (strength/cardio intervals/core/yoga) 4x per week
20 minute cardio workout or fun sport (basketball/tennis/biking) 2x per week
Option 3:
20 min. full body strength/flexibility workout 3x per week
20 min. cardio intervals 3x per week
How Many Fruits & Vegetables Per Week?
The amount of fruits and veggies you eat each week is key to how quickly you will drop pounds. It doesn't matter whether you're doing South Beach, Body for Life, Turbulence Training, or Weight Watchers. Clients who eat more fruits and veggies lose it faster, avoid plateuas, feel more energy, are healthier, and look younger and leaner. Aim for 9-11 servings a day. Take it one day at a time and you'll get it down no problem.
