REVERSE CRUNCH

1. Lie flat on your back, with knees bent at 90-degree angle and hands behind your head or by your hips.

• Dinner should consist of  a salad with lean protein and olive oil dressing or balsamic vinegar.
• Your last meal should be post-workout.

DAY 2
Morning

• Have oats with milk for breakfast. You can add fruit.
• Lunch should be brown rice with vegetables or whole wheat pasta cooked with little oil.

Evening

• Do interval cardio: Sprint 15 seconds followed by 45 seconds of brisk walking. This type of training will tax your cardiovascular strength and create an after burn.
• Dinner can be soup with lean protein like chicken.

DAY 3
Morning

• Try something more moderate like a jump rope. Do this for 20-30 minutes.
• Breakfast should be whole-wheat bread or oatmeal pancake with a banana.

DAY 4
Morning

• For breakfast, have a banana and two slices of whole wheat bread.
• Lunch should consist of protein like fish and lean meat. If you are vegetarian, opt for tofu and beans.

Evening

• Try tabatha cardio. This is an intense routine, it only lasts for four minutes but it will give you a run for your money.
• Choose any exercise like jumping jack, sprinting, jump rope, or burpee — they will make your entire body move. Perform this for 20 seconds at maximum effort.
• After 20 seconds, rest for only 10 seconds. Do not cheat! Perform this cycle for eight rounds. By the fifth round, your body will say stop, but keep pushing.
• If you think you’re capable, add another four minutes. Rest five minutes in between the four minutes of exercise.
• Dinner can be anything from whole meal flour (like pasta or bread) and sweet potato.

DAY 5
Morning

Morning

• Choose between the interval cardio or tabatha.
• Breakfast can include pancakes with syrup.
• Lunch can be chicken and fruit salad.

Evening

• Have tortilla soup for dinner.

DAY 7
Morning

• You don’t need to be active today. Do something light while letting your body recover, such as taking a walk at the park or going for a run.
• Breakfast should be whole-grain cereal in milk with a piece of whole fruit.
• Lunch may consist of a pizza or burger. It’s good to treat yourself once in a while.

Evening

• Dinner should consist of a lean nutritious meal such as teriyaki stir-fried beef or chicken with basmati rice.

Healthy food swap

YOU can make a big difference to your diet by swapping high calorie foods with healthy, balanced alternatives. Here are some examples:

1. Swap white bread with wholemeal.
2. Swap creamy or cheesy sauces with tomato or vegetable-based sauces on your pasta, meat or fish dishes.
3. Swap salted food for unsalted ones.
4. Swap rich salad dressing with balsamic vinegar or lemon juice.
5. Swap potato with sweet potato.
6. Swap sugary cereals with oatmeal.

In the long run

ACHIEVING your desired weight or size is only one part of the problem.The other part is to maintain it.

Maintaining weight has a lot to do with the right nutrition and calorie burning.

• "You may very well put the weight back on if you stop exercising and continue to eat because you’ll be taking in calories without burning it through exercise,
• We should keep exercising (cardio or weight training) 2 or 3 times a week, and increase its intensity.
• As for food, eat within your calorie requirement.
• If you continue to exercise as part of your daily routine, you’re on your way to a long-term healthier lifestyle.” Remeo

Here are some recipes to include in this 7 day programme.

BANANA OATMEAL PANCAKE

(Preparation time: 15 minutes)

Ingredients

4 egg whites, 2 yolks

One cup oatmeal

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 tbsp honey

1/2 scoop protein powder

2 large bananas

Method

1.     Blend all ingredients in blender (keep one banana for topping later) until it is smooth and consistent.

2.     Heat a non-stick pan, use cooking spray or olive oil to coat.

3.     Pour batter over heated pan, leave for several minutes until brown on sides and then flip over.

4. Once done, slice bananas and arrange on pancakes. (Handy tip: Melt banana in microwave oven for a yummy texture.)

DETOX PROTEIN SMOOTHIE

Ingredients

3 apples

3 carrots

2 celery stalk

1 scoop whey or 250ml

HL milk

Physllium husks (optional)

Method

Blend all ingredients in a blender. Add ice for a refreshing smoothie.

Note: Celery is a diuretic. It is also a great source of naturally occurring sodium, which can help the body maintain its balance while you are fasting. Carrots are high in Vitamin A and make the juice taste sweet. Apple juices aid in digestion, the eradication of bodily toxins, and regulation of blood sugar and even blood pressure. The protein comes from either whey or low fat milk and helps fuel muscles to keep you feeling full longer. You can add a serving of psyllium husks as it helps with weight loss and colon cleansing.
