Week 3: Exercise of the Week

The exercise of the week for Week 3 in the Extreme Self-Care program is The Squat. With feet shoulder width apart, fold your arms in front of you and lower your body as if to sit down in a chair. Stop as if you were just above the seat and hold your squat for a 5-count. Do 3 sets of 10 reps every other day this week.

Week 3: The Agenda

Week 3 of Extreme Self-Care begins with this agenda:

  1. Review your food and exercise log/journal.
  2. Take measurements and track them in your journal.
  3. Choose music to workout with and hold your focus.
  4. Remember that you must eat fewer calories than you are using in order to move the numbers on the scale and on the tape measure!

Week 2: Recipe of the Week

This week's recipe is quite simple. I hope you will enjoy it!

Sara's Super Salad
Begin with fresh salad greens and add beets (not pickled), black beans, corn, onion, and shredded cheese. Top with a salad dressing spritzer. (Balsamic is my favorite!)
