5kgs by Christmas? You Can Still Do It!

14 days ago we gave you the instructions to follow to lose 5kgs before Christmas. We hope some of you have taken this up and have dropped 2 or so kilograms by now but those late comers, you're gonna need a bit more strictness in your plan.

Our 5 starting rules were:

1 - Hot Water and Lemon Upon Waking

2 - 20mins Exercise Post Lemon Drink

3 - 10mins Exercise Between Dinner and Bedtime

4 - Go Shopping

5 - Complete 77 Training Sessions and Eat 116 Meals (good one's!!)

Now with only 29 til Christmas we need to up the ante so here's another 5 rules to add into your plan.

Rule 6 - Add 5mins to your 2nd evening session for the day

Rule 7 - For all meals but 1, eliminate any carbs that aren't veggies, even fruit. For your 1 carb meal of the day, you can have fruit, potato or whatever you want to do not exceed 30 for this meal. You can also choose which meal to have this with so if you can function on limited carbs in the morning then save them til lunch or vice versa. Alternatively you might like them with dinner...no carbs at night don't make you fat!!

Rule 8 - You might want to change up your training if you like so opt for one of the workouts from our previous post that you haven't done and go with it. You might also alternate between some of all of them. For example you might do workout 1 Monday morning, workout 2 Monday night, workout 3 Tuesday morning and so on until you've done each workout then  start again and beating your numbers the 2nd time around.

Rule 9 - To complete each session choose your favourite exercise from that day and for the last minute of your workout do that exercise as hard, fast and for as many reps as you can get in a minute. I want you to be lying in the floor grasping for breathe after this minute. You want to reach what is called oxygen debt which is where your requirement for oxygen cannot keep up with your activity so you have to stop. Obviously if you feel a bit "off" during this minute then pull it up there and then.

Rule 10 - Complete at least 52 training sessions between now and Christmas day and eat at least 104 meals (at 4 meals a day) developed from your shopping list.

So there it is - an even more-so can't fail plan - the only thing stopping you now is YOU!!
