Gabrielle Reece: 30-Day Health Challenge

Model and volleyball superstar Gabrielle Reece is a contributor for Yahoo Health.  In her latest entry she has devised a 30-day health challenge that holistically targets exercise, nutrition, and lifestyle habits to reach our goals.  She claims that it’s not ‘rocket science’ but something doable and fun to do with a friend.  Thus far, she has explained how to approach Days 1-7.

Day 1: Lifestyle – Buy a planner and write down your goals for the next 30 days as well as things that need to be done.  Then mark them off once you accomplish them.

Day 2: Fitness – Wake up a little bit earlier than usual and go for a walk.  Start with 20  minutes and then add a minute each day until you’re up to 50 minutes a day.

Day 3: Diet – Measure out 70 ounces of water and drink that through out the day, not all at once.  Do this every day from here on out.

Day 4: Lifestyle – Contact a friend and ask him/her to join you in the lifestyle challenge.

Day 5: Fitness – Add stretches to your morning walk that you started back on Day 2.  Here is Gabrielle’s list of stretches:

1. rectus abdominus (core stretch)

2. child’s pose – reach arms way out front (back stretch)

3. & 4. grab toe with arm, reach over and switch legs (hamstring, lat stretch)

5. runners lunge – try to touch forearms to the ground  and switch legs (hamstring stretch)

6. runners lunge with a toe grab, or just stand up and grab quad (quad and hamstring stretch)

7. triceps stretch – goal is to bring your fingertips in between shoulder blades (triceps stretch)

8. hamstring hang – (hamstring, lower back stretch)

Day 6: Diet – Remember breakfast, it’s the most important meal of the day because it gets the metabolism going.

Day 7: Lifestyle – Take a healthy snack to work and take enough to share with colleagues.

Stay tuned to get the inside scoop on Days 8-30.
