We’re almost a full week into the Sugar Slash and while I’ve heard people commenting on some challenges they didn’t anticipate, I’m also hearing a lot of people who are making some amazing changes in their diet and nutrition habits!I’ve set up a blog post where you can all comment on your challenges/successes here. There are already some great tips on what people are finding works well, so thanks to everyone who has commented so far. Don’t be shy to share your success and help someone else. Likewise, if you have a challenge you are struggling with, post it. Odds are someone else has that challenge too and has a good method to handle it.The one component we haven’t talked much about is the workouts for the month. You’ll be able to post your team numbers for the first week tomorrow-7 max points per team with a max of 4 workouts per person. Why a max of 7/4? Remember, the basis of how the 212 program gets results is strength work and a heavy dose of interval conditioning. Both of these exercises break the body down, and when the body builds itself back up, you get stronger, burn more fat and get a better hormone response that optimizes your lean muscle gains and fat loss. However, because we are breaking the body down to get these results, you have to make sure the body gets the rest it needs to build itself back up. You shouldn’t workout at 212 more than 3 days in a row and not more than 5 times in a week. In fact, for most people, 3-4 212 workouts per week are more than enough to reach your performance and body composition goals, as long as you are eating right on your own and performing Active Rest on the days you aren’t at 212 (30-60 minutes of low to moderate intensity activity).Don’t forget to take a few moments this Monday to plan out how you’ll keep your momentum going this week!
