How To Get Ripped Abs Challenge – Day 7
It’s finally Sunday and a much needed day of rest from training. How to Get Ripped Abs has been a very challenging first week. My hamstrings are still sore and now my calves are quite sore from yesterday’s jump rope workout. I planned on doing the stretching routine today but I never got a chance. There is a dedicated stretching routine in How To Get Ripped Abs that can help you work out all the kinks to loosen up. So far I feel good and am actually looking forward to pushing my workouts even harder next week. Now that I know the exercises and have my weights set for each exercise I should be able to do them quicker and can really strive to push out more reps. I’m making sure to keep an accurate log. The workout program includes logs that you can print out. This makes it really easy to bring my workout plan to the gym and just fill in the weights and reps.
I did some of my prep cooking tonight. I created another big batch of brown rice and beans. This time I used black beans and pinto beans. These are so high in fiber that this dish fills me up for hours. I added chopped a chopped red pepper, chopped jalapeño, and half of a chopped onion to the mix. This made me 4 servings of a side dish that I will have with my chicken the first four days of the week. I eat this everyday with one of my meals to get my starchy carbohydrates with fiber. It supplies good clean sustained energy for hours. The How to Get Ripped Abs nutritional program has you eating a lot of fibrous carbohydrates in order to keep your blood sugar levels low and without any spikes. This creates an environment for fat burning throughout the entire day.
Tomorrow I’ll be weighing in and checking my waist measurement. I’m certain I have already got some good results but tomorrow will be the first time I’ve stepped on a scale since day 1 of my How To Get Ripped Abs Challenge. I almost feel like this week was just a primer and now that I’ve got myself started I can really take off. 1 Week down, 11 more to go!
