My fitness

Recently, I posted a blog on “What I Eat in a Day.” So I’ve decided to make one about what fitness activities I do in a day!

Every day around noon, I do interval training for one mile, until the last day of the week, and I just run a straight mile to see my time. I just started interval training this week, and have already gone for 8:30 to 7:42 as of Wednesday, the 15th Of April, 2020. I run for three days straight, then rest, then three days, then rest, and so on. It’s always good to take a healing day!

After dinner I go on a bike ride in the cool breeze. I usually ride 2-5 miles a day. It’s good to have a little activity after food intake, and before bed.

I am still a kid, so I love to bounce around on the trampoline. Almost every day you can find me learning new flips. Jumping in general is great exercise, but holding up your own body weight is a real workout! Front flips, back flips, back handsprings, and double back handsprings are my specialty, and get me sweating like a pig! 😂

I go to a CrossFit gym, but since it closed due to the coved-19 breakout, I have been coming up with my own workouts at home! I try to workout 2-4 times a week, but your activity levels may be different. (To learn more about the corona virus, go to autumnessrenee.wordpress.com!)

So there you go, my activity level. If you are wondering what some of my at-Home-workouts are, then stay tuned, and/or check my previous blogs for more information!

What I eat in a day

Hello, it’s me again! Just wanted to let you know some super good delicious meals, the ones I eat, and love!

Breakfast

For breakfast, I have Pb egg toast. I make 2 over easy eggs with pepper. I prefer burnt toast, so I put my 100% wheat toast on full heat. Once the toast is done, I put a thick layer of peanut butter on it, and then add the eggs on top. I’ll also usually have black coffee, protein shake, or energy drink and lots and lots of water!

Lunch

For lunch, I like to have a protein-jacked meal to recover from my run or workout I just did. I’ll have a smoothie including 1 scoop isolate whey protein powder, 1 spoonful peanut butter, 1/2 cup milk, and a half fresh banana. I also have 1 can of classic Stag chili (I eat it by itself, but you can add whatever) This meal is great because the smoothie is a total of 28g of protein, and the can of chili is 36g of protein!

Dinner

Every night for dinner, my wonderful stepmother whips up some veggie heaven for us all. First she puts some milk in a pan on the stove. Then she cooks zucchini and spinach in the milk. Then, she adds mushrooms. Once it is done, she adds some chopped tomatoes. You can also cook it with ground meat, noodles, cheese, and even make it a scramble! I love this meal because not only is it delicious and nutritious, but you can make it in so many ways!

Snacks

You know, there are some points in the the day when you just feel hungry, even though it’s not time for a meal, or you need to refuel, or even just feeling “snacky!” I know some great snacks that I love and have almost every day!

  • Carrots & peanut butter
  • Apple slices and almond butter
  • Whole wheat crackers w/ hummus or guacamole
  • A handful or two of almonds
  • Banana & orange
  • Greek yogurt and grape nuts

That is pretty much what I eat day-to-day, but of course no one can eat the same thing forever! Always remember to stay healthy and drink LOOOOOTS OF WATER!!!

Delicious Drinks!

First Fitnesses

Hello again! I hope you are having a wonderful day, and speaking of wonderful days, my day is always better when I start it off with exercise. If you are a gym rat or just feeling like a workout, then I have some tips for you, and even more in my upcoming blogs!

Today’s workout is all about arms! Not everyone has equipment, but you can use some other supplies that works just the same!

Workout~Arms

  • 25 push-ups
  • 10 pull-ups (use pull up bar/find a very sturdy branch and go from there!)
  • 15 push-press (use barbell/other weights/or some other weighted, even, Safe objects lying around)
  • 5 burpees
  • 1 min plank (also works the abs!)
  • 20 curls (again, if you don’t have weights, just use a safe, weighted object)

Do not do more than 5 reps! You don’t wanna break yourself. Also, make sure to recover with a protein-jacked meal afterwards!
