Day #12 – Push-ups, Planks, & Dips
- Pushups – 50 Pushups (Working to gain strength, maintain form, and if possible move toward doing a few from your toes. If you’re not there yet, no worries! This is a difficult movement.)
- Side Plank – Hold for 30-60 seconds. Repeat 10 times on each side.
- Triceps Dip – Repeat 20 times.
Tip: Let’s talk about calories. Often, when people start exercising or they’re exercising more consistently, they find that they’re hungrier. They start eating more food and consuming more calories. Unfortunately, this is why it can be difficult to lose weight even when you’re exercising. If you’re trying to lose weight and get in shape it’s important to track what you eat.
If you eat whole foods, rather than processed foods, and you steer clear of starchy carbohydrates you’re on the right track. Additionally, track calories and make sure that post workout you’re not consuming more than you just burned. Exercise because it’s good for you, not because it gives you a reason to justify eating an extra piece of cake.
If you want cake, eat cake but make it an occasional treat and not a daily habit. Moderation and awareness are the keys here. Pay attention to the nutrition you put into your body, avoid sugar and starchy carbs, and enjoy!
Who else wants to replace their coffee? I don’t (ha ha) but I use this instead for my afternoon “pick-me-up.”
Get the Orange flavor (my favorite) – you won’t regret it 😉.
