This week I thought it would be super cool to set you a challenge…

To complete the ‘Healthiest Day Ever!’

Are you up for this???

If you said ‘Yes!’ let’s get stuck in…

7am – Get Up

  • Take a multivitamin
  • Drink a pint of water
  • Think of 10 things that your grateful for – if your stuck here’s some ideas: being alive, being able to walk, talk, read, write, think, speak, having a roof over your head, your children, food in the cupboards, clean water to drink, a good job, etc, etc
  • Take a warm shower. Just before your about to jump out, switch the temperature to the coldest setting (the colder the better!), stay in the shower for 10-20s and focus on breathing fast to help keep you warm. This freezing cold water will improve circulation, wake you up and reduce inflammation.

7.30am – Breakfast

Buff Protein Porridge…

  1. add 75g of oats into a frying pan
  2. add 200-300ml of almond milk (depending on how you like your porridge – runny or stodgy?)
  3. Add in 30g of whey protein
  4. Mix the ingredients up
  5. Put the hob on a low heat and cook, frequently stir for 5-10 minutes until done
  6. Add in a banana + either a handful of nuts (20-30g) or a scoop of almond butter (20g) to fill you up even further.

8-9am – Walk

Go for a nice morning stroll, focus on your breathing and live in the present moment. Take a look at your surroundings, appreciate the colours, feel your feet landing on the ground and enjoy some quiet time to reflect.

Grab a Whey Protein Shake (50g) + 30g cashew nuts

Then take some time out to relax, watch some TV or read

2-3pm – Nap Time

Take an afternoon nap to help you re-charge your batteries and rejuvenate the body. It can be challenging sometimes to sleep in the day, so I would recommend picking up a Sleeping Mask and putting on some classical or chilled out music to help you mellow. If you struggle to sleep just put some TV on and relax.

3-4pm – Geeking it Up!

The Workout…

1) Crunch into reverse crunch (60s)
2) Running mountain climbs (60s)
