Hello Studio Babes! Today I wanted to switch up the topic and focus on health and fitness. Now I know its hard to get into a routine of working out and eating healthy. I usually go on health kicks for a couple of months a year. Now that I am getting older I have been trying to get better at sticking to a routine. Usually on Sundays I try to visit the grocery store to get all my items for my meal prep for the week. Cooking your meals instead of going out to eat is usually much cheaper and healthier. I try to set a spending goal (between 50-60 dollars) before I step foot into the store. Here's my meal prep grocery list.

*Chicken Breasts

*Salmon

*Sweet Potatoes

*Brown Rice

*Cabbage

*Asarpargus

*Oatmeal

*Berries (strawberries or blackberries)

*Grapefruit/Bananas

*Mixed Nuts

*Yogurt

I prepare 14 meals in all for lunch and dinner excluding breakfast. I try to mix up the meals between chicken, rice, and cabbage or salmon, asapargus, and sweet potatoes. For breakfast I usually do oatmeal and berries, one whole grapefruit, or a banana and yogurt. For snacks if I'm craving I'll do apples and peanut butter or mixed nuts. I drink only water and exclude all sodas, candy, and bread from my diet.( I know its hard but you can do it!)

Now on to my weekly work out regimen. I try to go to workout at least five days a week with two rest days. I have noticed that if I schedule my workouts I am more prone to actually do them. I am a firm believer that every work out should start out with stretching (for roughly eight minutes). After I strectch all my limbs I'll go do a 15 min- light jog usually with a speed of 5.0 and an incline of 1.5. Here's my workout routine:

* 50 Jumping Jacks

* 2 sets of 25 Russian Twists

* 2 sets of 25 Mountain Climbers

* 2 sets of 25 Bicycle Crunches

* 2 sets of 25Butterfly Kicks

* 2 sets of 25 Squat + Leg raises

* 2 sets of 25 Lunges (weighted if you are experienced)

* 2 sets of 25 Sumo Squats

* 2 sets of 25Calf Thrusts

* 50 Jumping Jacks

end with planks for 2 minutes

Now Im not saying that my routine is for everyone or that I am a fitness expert, this just works for me. This routine will not take more than an hour including the pre- stretch and the jog. Please let me know how everything works out after a few weeks. Thank you for tuning in today for something a little different today. See you next time #StudioBabes!
