Day Two

How did you get on with the workout yesterday?

You may not be that familiar with all of the exercises in the workout and so I will be changing the way these workouts are delivered in the coming weeks. Until then you will have to make do!

Your workout today consists of

20 seconds of Press-ups 10 seconds rest

20 seconds of Jump Squats 10 seconds rest

20 seconds of The Plank 10 seconds rest

20 seconds of Back extensions 10 seconds rest

20 seconds of Sprints on the spot 10 seconds rest

20 seconds of Dynamic lunges 10 seconds rest

20 seconds of Squat Thrusts 10 seconds rest

1 minute rest and then repeat.

Your aim is to complete 3 sets of this circuit.

Any questions then give me a shout…



Day 2 Nutrition

Caffeine


Caffeine affects each person differently. It has an almost instant effect on your body and will stay in your system for around 6-8 hours.

Why should you cut it out?
This programme is about becoming more in control of your body. Caffeine is an addictive drug and as a result has many negative side effects. The following are commonly attributed to over-use of caffeine:

Stimulates your heart, respiratory system, and central nervous system.

Raises blood pressure

Causes your stomach to produce more acid

Irritates the stomach lining

Makes digestion less effective by relaxing the muscles of your intestinal system – (NOT GOOD FOR THE SIX PACK PLANS!)

Affects the length and quality of sleep. Heavy caffeine users suffer from sleep-deprivation because their nervous system is too stimulated to allow them deep, restful or prolonged sleep.
For the first few weeks after stopping caffeine intake you may find that you are sleeping deeper and for longer. For this reason it is a good idea to allow yourself an extra hour per night for a few weeks, increasing this if you continue to experience lethargy in the mornings.

Be aware that some effects of coming off caffeine can be very unpleasant and if you’re used to consuming large amounts of caffeine it may be suggested to gradually reduce your intake.

Put the cup of coffee down and I'll see you Tomorrow...
