Embrace the vegie noodles!
Sometimes a simple swap is all that
is needed for a lighter take on
pasta. Bringing a spiraliser into the
house means we can now enjoy
zucchini, carrot or even
sweet potato noodles
regularly.

Who doesn’t love weekend
pancakes, and now you don’t have
to feel guilty about eating them!
Almond meal or banana-based
pancakes means you can enjoy
them the healthy way. Make sure
you leave that pan on – there are
sure to be requests for more!

THESE IDEAS WILL HELP YOU GET


TO YOUR GOALS A LITTLE QUICKER


Your fried rice days are not over!
Neither are your days of mashed
potato and other favourite comfort
foods. It’s all about finding lower
carb substitutes. Try making
cauliflower rice and steam and
mash some pumpkin and carrot
instead of the trusty potato. It’s both
tasty and healthy for you.

EMBRACE
COMFORT FOODS

You can enjoy the
foods you like, just
find lower-carb
substitutes that pack
flavour.

SPIDERLADY
PUSH-UPS
The Spiderlady push-up is
a variation of the standard push-up,
that adds in a hip flexion.
Start in the standard push-up
position, but with your arms
staggered, one arm under your
shoulder and the other arm placed
back under your rib cage.
As you lower your torso towards
the floor, bend your elbows out
to the side. At the same time, lift
your foot (the one closest to your
arm that is further back) off the floor
and bend the knee to hitch it up
beside your hip or to touch your
elbow (depending on your strength
and flexibility).

Repeat this action, alternating
sides each time. Really make sure
you’re pulling in your tummy to
support your back.
You’ll feel like a superhero!

JAB CROSS
PUNCHES
Stand side-on with your guard up
(elbows close to your body and fists
protecting your chin).
Then, perform a quick jab with
your front arm and follow it up with
a cross punch with your back arm,
and keep them coming!
Remember to roll your shoulders
through the movement too, because
your abs also want to be invited to
this party.

TRICEP DIPS
WITH KICKS
Start by sitting on your butt and
place your hands behind you, palms
flat on the ground, fingers facing the
front and elbows facing the back.
Raise that bottom off the ground,
so that your weight is on your
hands and feet, and your body
is dipping in the centre.
Slowly bend your elbows (this is
the dip) keeping your arms parallel
and your weight over your triceps
(making sure you don’t sink into
your shoulders!)
As you lower, raise one leg in the
air. Return to your starting position
and repeat using the other leg,
alternating continually.
