Spring Clean Your Fitness Workouts and Eating Plan

 
With these tips and tricks from The Rancan Sisters

 
With the onset of Spring and the warmer weather, now is a great time to get your body back into shape. The Rancan Sisters have suggested a few tips to help shift those extra winter kilos.
 
Work it out, work it off!

Exercise is the best way to keep the weight off. Kilos lost through exercise stay off!

• Time efficient workouts are easy to add into your weekly routine. Try FiTViBE*, accelerated training on the vibrating plate. It helps smooth out cellulite whilst toning your body, increasing your strength and can be done in your lunch break!
• Add an extra workout session to your fitness schedule. One extra session can burn 350 – 500 calories in the week
• Get outdoors! We have a few more weeks before daylight savings changes over. It’s light and bright all morning. Start the day with a before work walk or jog 
• Pedometers are also great for measuring steps. Make a goal to walk EVERY day for 10,000 steps – the weight will drop off!
• Make sure your cardio workouts are actually burning fat. A good way to do this is by using a heart rate monitor. Find out your optimum heart rate and make sure you’re working to that level
• After being all covered up during winter, you are about to expose your body to the world again. Give yourself a pedicure, get a wax or apply fake tan to make yourself feel fabulous

Spring clean your diet

Wave goodbye to winter food and introduce light spring options into your diet.

• Increase your water intake. The Rancan Sisters recommend drinking at least two litres per day, or three if you are exercising
• We often mistake thirst for hunger so it makes sense that if we are drinking more we will eat less. NOTE: If you are thirsty then you are already 30% dehydrated
• It’s all about portion control. You’ll eat what you put on your plate so keep those portion sizes small
• Fuel yourself for the day ahead with a healthy breakfast. Try muesli with a low GI for ongoing energy, this will limit your snacking
• Cook for yourself. If you make your own food you know exactly what you are putting into your body and you can ensure that you are making healthy choices 
• Spring clean out your fridge** You will eat what is in your fridge and cupboards so give yourself a chance to make it a healthy option by stocking up on fresh, nutritious foods
