My Personal Fitness Plan

So, lately it's been difficult replying everyone personally because I'm pretty busy and exams are coming up. This post is about my personal diet and exercise plan. I'm going to do a follow up post later for general diet and exercise plans.

My Diet

I'm on what's called Intermittent Fasting (google it). I basically eat between 11am and 6pm. I eat 2 large meals and 1 snack. I eat breakfast at 11am, snack at 2:30pm and dinner at 6pm. Don't try this if you're new into Fitness, you have to build yourself up to it. Anyways, this fast helps control my calorie intake.

For Breakfast, I have either cous cous and stir fry OR Whole wheat bread.

Cous-Cous and Stir-Fry. I usually prepare enough stir-fry for a week and then refrigerate it. I'll do a
post on it the next time I prepare it. The cous-cous on the other hand is quite easy to prepare, just 5mins approximately. I prefer it to rice because it's very light and digests quickly so you don't feel bloated.

I eat my whole-wheat bun in different ways. This is made by Babcock University, it's only brand I see around but I love it since it's only 67calories!! I prefer this kind to normal slice bread, because one of this bread fills me up, but 2 slices of bread doesn't. And also whole-wheat slice bread contains more calories per slice. If I have all the time in the world(which is very rare), I bake extra-lean beef mince(from Shoprite) for about 10mins.(note: I divide the minced meat into two, then mash it up). For dressing, I use a slice of low-fat cheese, which is about 50calories, lettuce and tomatoes. But on a regular day, I slice up the bun and dab 1tablespoon of peanut butter in it, and that's all!

For snack

Normally, I eat peppered plantain chips. I'm addicted to it which is not good because I eat an insane amount everyday.

For dinner

I take yoghurt, biscuits and cereal or with fruits. Take it however you like it and it can also be prepared as parfait!

My Exercise Plan

I hate gyms. I find it difficult to leave my house and go somewhere else to workout. But, if you find it difficult to motivate yourself into working out, you should go to a gym.

In the morning, I walk on the treadmill for 20minutes. I use incline 15(which is the highest) and incline 13 on an interval basis. I use a speed of 7.0 and 7.2 depending on the incline. If you're a beginner don't try this, when I started exercising I used a speed of 5.0 and incline 2, then gradually worked myself up to incline 15.

After the treadmill, I do a 20minutes exercise that's already pre-installed on my device. Check the AppStore under the fitness and health category and download apps that work for you

In the evening, I use a workout DVD by Billy Blanks...it's a 50minutes workout video.

So, this is what my day usually involves. Please Share! and my new bbm pin is 79D68191. BTW, any time I watch Trey Songz "oh na na" video, I start to do push-ups and squats, those girls are fit!
