So we are in to the third week of spring, the sun is rising earlier every morning. Next week, day light savings starts, which means summer is on its way fast and furious.
Its time to kick our butts in to action and get our bodies moving, cause lets be honest we want to look hot in those short shorts and strappy tops, cause lets get real nobody like bat wing arms do they.

I got the idea from Lauren Conrads blog to do a boot camp series like she did for spring/summer, the only thing is I'm going to put my interpretation on it. I'm going to start this boot camp series every monday, there will be fitness motivation, training techniques, toning exercises and fit tips to keep you going throughout the spring/summer period. Put this in conjunction with all the food tips on wednesday's post's and you will be well on your way to a nice toned and fit physique.



So here are the rules:
  • Make a mood board of the goals you want to achieve.
  • Think of this as a lifestyle change rather than a diet. After getting to your goal you don't want to go back to where you started.
  • Remember to drink lots of water, to stay hydrated and to flush out all of those toxins.
  • Work out at least 6 days a week (1 rest day) for at least 30 minutes, even if it going for a walk or doing some toning exercises. 
  • Eating 3 times a day as well as 2 snacks
  • Get 8 hours of sleep each night - you need this time for your muscles to recuperate.
What your not allowed:
  • No white bread, no fried foods and large portions of cheese.
  • No candy, baked goods or food that has processed sugar. (I will be posting lots of clean sweet treats to curb your sweet cravings).
  • No carbonated or sugary drinks.
  • Alcohol (its okay to have a few if you have a celebration or are going out).
What you are allowed: 
  • As much green vegetables as you want
  • No more then 3 pieces of sweet fruit a day eg. apple, banana, pineapple
  • al least 1 source of starchy vegetable eg. Sweet Potato, Pumpkin, Potato
  • Quinoa, Oats, Buckwheat
  • Seeds and lentils
  • Clean Food (Check out my post on wednesday for my pantry essentials.)


Compulsory daily exercise:
  • 50 Crunches (do what you can)
  • 60 second plank, 60 seconds of side planks (each side)
Daily exercise options:
  • Run/Walk for 45 minutes
  • 1 hour of yoga, Boxing or Pilates
  • 45 minutes of spin
  • 20 minutes of some kind of cardio
  • 40 minutes of intense weight training at the gym


This programme is what I try to stick to for day to day life, this is what has helped me to get near my goal weight, If you stick to this plan pretty strictly, you will see the weight drop off and you will be ready to slip in to that bathing suit in no time. Stay focused, feel confident and fuel you body with healthy foods, trust me you feel like a million bucks by summer and you'll have so much energy to frolic along that beach in the summer time.
