I love to workout with weights! I like to use 8lb weights, but 3lbs or 5 lbs is great as well!   You can always push the up button by increasing the weight.

Start with one set of each move. As you get stronger, try to do the circuit two or three times. After six weeks you can expect to see improvements in strength, muscle tone, and endurance. You will be shocked at just how strong you are!

As always…No excuses! Just do it!

If you are someone that gets bored easily while working out this is a great workout for you.  Although, if you are a person that needs music to workout with, you will need to add your own soundtrack because this workout doesn’t have any background music with it.  Get ready to squat and sweat!  (and of course, burpees, because what is a HIIT workout without burpees, right?!)

Daniel and Kelli at FitnessBlender have a great YouTub Channel with lots of great free workouts.

Ditch The Diet for Healthy Habits

Six Simple Keys to Weight Loss

LauraJoli LookingJoliGoodLeave a comment

~Ditch The Diet~

No need for a lengthy introduction, I know why you are here, let’s get right into it…

Time for Change! | lookingjoligood.blog

1) Make the decision to change!

If you always do what you have always done, you will always be what you have always been.  Make a decision to change and then do it!

honesty | lookingjoligod.blog

2) Get honest with yourself!

Figure out your body fat percentage. Take your body measurements. Weigh yourself. Take “before” photos.  You will be glad you did once you start seeing results so that you can compare how far you have come.

goal setting | lookingjoligod.blog

 

3) Set a goal, write it down, and put a date on it!

If you are serious about your goals, write them down and keep yourself accountable!

Role Model | lookingjoligod.blog

4) Find a role model and follow their example!  

Choose someone that you know has a good health and wellness lifestyle and ask for them to mentor you!  A little bit of encouragement, accountability, and guidance can be the difference between giving up and going on to succeed!  This brings me to the next point…

ignore negativity | lookingjoligod.blog

5) Ignore the negativity.

Let’s be honest, haters gonna hate!  It is human nature to try to bring other’s down to our level.  Don’t let someone else’s negativity prevent you from becoming a better version of yourself!

don't give up | lookingjoligod.blog

6) Don’t give up!

Things are going to get hard!  If it were easy everyone would already be eating right, exercising, and living a healthy life.  When things get hard work harder.  The end result of a healthier you is totally worth working through the hard times.

Carb Confusion

LauraJoli LookingJoliGoodLeave a comment

~Ditch the Diet~

Today we are going to be talking about the most controversial of macronutrients – carbohydrates.

As we have been discussing recently, there are three macronutrients: Carbohydrate, Fat, Protein.  Macronutrients are nutrients that provide calories (or energy) for our bodies.

macronutrients | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

No other nutrient causes so much confusion or controversy as carbs.

Carbohydrates are the macronutrient that our bodies need in the LARGEST amounts. Believe it or not, you can be successful eating hundreds of grams of carbs a day, as well as eating fewer grams per day.

According to the Dietary Reference Intakes published by the USDA, 45% – 65% of calories should come from carbohydrate. (Carbohydrate provides 4 calories per gram.)

Why do we need this amount of carbohydrate?

Carbohydrates are the body’s main source of fuel and easily used by the body for energy. They can be stored in the muscles and liver to be used later for energy. All of the tissues and cells in our body can use glucose for energy.

Carbohydrates are needed for the central nervous system, the kidneys, the brain, the muscles (including the heart) to function properly.

Carbohydrates are important in intestinal health and waste elimination.

carbohydrates | lookingjoligood.blogWhich foods are carbohydrates?

They are mainly found in starchy foods like grain and potatoes, as well as fruits, milk, and yogurt. Other foods like vegetables, beans, nuts, seeds and cottage cheese contain carbohydrates, but in lesser amounts.

I will be talking in more details about fiber and “good” carbs vs “bad” carbs in another  Ditch the Diet post.

Keep in mind that losing weight and being healthy are so much more than just choosing a “diet plan” and following it.
