Trucks Training Fitness in 50 minutes or less!

Today I have almost no time to workout but that didn't stop me from getting a great workout in!

In less than 50 min:
3 mile Run

20 minute mini-boot camp:
step ups w/press (10 ea. side)
Incline push-up (15 reps)
Lat Raises (20 reps)
V-ups (25 reps)
Burpees w/Jumping Jack (10)
Push-ups w/Mountain Climber (20 Total)
V-ups
30 second rest and repeat
(Do circut 3X)

Can't make it to the gym no problem:
Run in your neighborhood or invest in a jump rope (jump roping for just 15 minutes is the same as running 3 miles!)
Do Step ups off your stairs or a sturdy chair
Tricep dips off a sturdy chair
Push-ups on the floor or use your couch for the incline effect
V-ups can be done on the ground
Burpees with jumping jack (all you need is a little space!)
Push-ups w/mountain climber can be done on the floor
V-ups
Repeat 3X

And to think you didn't even have to go to the gym!

Have a great day!

Laugh often-its good for the heart and the abs:)

Breakfast done Right-Yumm!

I can't express the importance of Breakfast but keep in mind a good breakfast that is! Numerous studies have shown that those who eat breakfast regularly have lower BMIs than those that Do NOT! With that said it is one meal that you don't want to miss. Now Breakfast doesn't have to be boring as a matter of fact it should be something that gets you excited to get out of bed and MAKE!

Yes, I said MAKE! And why do I stress MAKE because even resturant chains that claim your getting something lo-cal or reduced fat with your morning cup of coffee are often more times than not loaded with preservatives, sodium, and sugar the list could go on and on! Plus it takes less time to make breakfasts than to wait in line for it during the morning rush!

Here are some of my breakfasts and under 350 calories-woohoo!!!!

Italian Scramble-3-4 egg whites, 1/2 cup of asparagus or spinach, low-fat cheese, and no-sodium marinara sauce paired with low-carb toast

Healthy Mexican burrito-3-4 egg beaters, chopped bell peppers, salsa, low-fat cheese, and a low-carb tortilla

Pumpkin Pancakes- Trader Joe's Pumpkin Mix, Water, 1 egg, stevia, and pumpkin spice mix is all you need for my current favorite breakfast!

Greek Yogurt Parfait-Non-fat Greek yogurt, old fashion rolled oats, frozen berries, and Stevia

Hope that helps!
