Workout of the Day:

 

Sprint intervals.  If you can make it out to a track with a friend that would be ideal if not work with what you got:).

 

With our sprint intervals the goal is to be consistent with your times. . It should be about 85-90% effort.  Make sure and keep your time for each individual run and post it. Your i-phone timer works great for laps. Today we are looking for consistency.  the goal is to be within +or- 5 sec on each one of your sprints.

Do your best to stay somewhat consistent.

Nutritional Tips.

 

Week 3: Up your vegetable intake!

 

Hopefully you have been working on filling half of your plate with fruits and vegetables. Your challenge this week is to try incorporating more vegetables, specifically from the cruciferous group. These include broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale, bok choy, arugula, Brussels sprouts, collards, watercress and radishes. Cruciferous vegetables, like many other types of vegetables, are packed with nutrients including vitamins K, A, C and folate as well as phytonutrients-a special plant-based compound that may help lower inflammation and reduce the risk of developing cancer. They are of course low in calories and very versatile. In fact, I recently tried a “mashed potato” recipe (see below) using cauliflower instead. It was delicious and tasted very similar to real mashed potatoes, but with far less calories and carbs.  Get creative this week with incorporating cruciferous vegetables into your diet. I have provided a few recipes below to get you started!

 

 

Garlic Mashed Cauliflower

 

Yield: 2 Servings

Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower

  • 4 tablespoons grass-fed butter (use 2 tbsp for a lower calorie option)

  • 2-3 cloves garlic, minced

  • coarse ground sea salt, to taste optional

Directions

  • Add water to the bottom of a double pot and place over medium-high heat, cover and bring to a boil.

  • Cut the head of cauliflower in half and remove the stem. Chop cauliflower into small pieces and add to the steamer basket (for me that is the top portion of the double pot). Alternatively, if you don't have a double pot and steamer basket you can add the cauliflower to a large pot, cover with water and bring to a boil.

  • Steam cauliflower for 15-20 minutes, or until soft.

  • Add cauliflower from the pot to a food processor. NOTE: Be sure to use oven mitts to hold the steamer basket and be careful of the steam while pouring into the food processor.

  • Process for a few seconds to chop then add butter, garlic and a pinch of sea salt (if you'd like). Process until smooth and well combined. 

  •  Plate or transfer to a bowl and serve.
