Breakfast
Exercise:
See week 1 for videos on exercise
If you are only following my exercise plan, you are not doing hard enough exercise to take a whole day off.
I give your lighter days but everyday I do my body weight routine and sun salutations. If you are also weight training or doing a lot of cardio you will want to have a day of rest to recover but gentle stretching never hurts.
However, If you are in a lot of pain take a rest day. Every body is different and if you are starting from scratch it can take muscles time to build and adapt.
Meditation:
If you already have a meditation practice continue with it.
If you do not meditate yet, I’ve given a few guided meditations to help get you started.
You can do the same guided meditation all 7 days of this week, if you find one you like more.
It’s good to get good at one type of meditation, repete the meditations that leave you feeling the best.
You can also do 2 or more of these in the morning if you are really enjoying the.
Reminder you can follow me on instagram for more recipes and tips via stories.
