THIRSY, milk, and ABS!

Thirsty Thursday! Did you drink enough water?

Today was day 2 of the Raw Recharge Challenge! I'm happy to see on facebook that there was at least a few members participating! I love the energy of doing something health/wellness related as a team, I feel like it really builds adherence and becomes way more fun to participate in a 'challenge'!:)

My juice today consisted of coconut water that I had leftover, fresh dill, cucumber, celery, and lime. I was going to mix an avocado in after the juice was juiced but then decided I just liked it thin so I ate the avocado with a spoon. I used to find avocados SO nasty unless they were lathered in garlic and salsa in guac like form, but now my taste buds have changed a lot and I can pretty much just mow them and love them.. often times when I'm rushed I just eat an avocado on the go as they're full of good fat and I feel like they're substantial enough to be a small meal (with a side of bulletproof 'buttered' coffee of course;).

Tomorrow i'm thinking maybe coconut milk, celery, cilantro, and cucumber. I need to restock my fridge or I might have to repeat a juice recipe from the previous day.

I also wanted to share my awesome ab workout today.. 'basic' but effective (and grunty;)

10 minutes turbo skip followed by stretching (VERY IMPORTANT to warm up, and stretch! Don't skip this!)

I did  6 rounds of 5 exercises,  30 seconds on 10 seconds rest (totalling 30 rounds/15 minutes)

1. tuck abs
2. bicycle abs (advanced)
3. oblique crunch left
4. toe touches
5. oblique crunch right

(If you don't have a timer you could do 30 total of each exercise in sets of 10)

Take a Quick Breathe...QUICK (keep your heart rate up!)

50 Burpees (This is something I adopted from the wonderful Melissa from Hot Body Method:)<3
Full burpees please, with a push up, don't skip the pushup, go to your knees if you must but JUST DO IT!

Stretch! Don't forget post workout snack!
