Giving the body and mind some rest from work and daily chores is important. Don t take complete rest from a workout. One day of rest could mean giving off on the idea of fitness completely if you aren t self-motivated. So here s today s simple fitness plan:
Morning Start your day with a drink that will boost your metabolism and cleanse your system. Aloe vera juice is a good option as it is packed with minerals and vitamins that help in detox and nutrients that are required for body functioning.
Breakfast Do you have some rotis or chapatis left over from yesterday s dinner? Well, they surely make your task of preparing breakfast easy. Use them to make frankies with your favourite filling. Running short of ideas? Try this vegetable frankie.
Lunch Treat yourself to delicious chhole for lunch today just skip the bhaturas. This oil-free chhole recipe is as delicious as the traditional one and is great for people like us who are trying to lose weight. After all, it is packed with loads of protein.
SnacksDid you know popcorn is healthier than fruits? Instead of taking a nap in the afternoon after lunch, play a classic or any new movie and snack on a bowl of popcorn. Popcorn is full of antioxidants which are like warriors who combat diseases. Here s how you can make popcorn healthy.
Dinner A hearty salad is a meal in itself. Enjoy a large bowl of salad and soup for dinner today. Barley soup and a stir-fried tofu salad are a perfect combination for Saturday evening dinner. Enjoy them while chatting with your family for a fun and healthy evening.
Exercises
At home You ve done jogging, stretching, Zumba and many other exercises from the comfort of your home this week. Try something different. Climb stairs. Climbing stairs has several advantages, burning calories being just one of them. It also strengthens your core. Go up and down 4-5 floors about 2-3 times for a home workout.
Yoga For yoga, work on your lower body. Practice the Suptavirasana or the reclined hero pose. It s an excellent way to stretch and strengthen your lower body. It also stretches the abdominal muscles thereby helping in digestion and also relieves menstrual pain.
At the gymBattle ropes are your equipment at the gym today. If you want a chiseled upper body and those washboard abs, challenge yourself to use battle ropes today. They also work wonders for your arms.
Sleep well tip There is no particular time for meditation. You can do it early morning, during the day, at work or even before going to bed. Practicing meditation at night ensures your mind and body are relaxed and you sleep well. It also helps correct sleep patterns.
