Remotivation!

Im not going to lie ... the last two weeks of my plan have been a complete failure. With moving into a new house and having reading week I took a major break and didnt work out once!
I decided that with the new weather its time to become motivated again. I bought my two favorite fitness magazine (Shape and Womens Fitness) and began looking for some new ideas to get back into shape.
In this months Womens Fitness I came across an article about cardio and extra motivation to keep you on track.

1. Overcome cravings: When hungry ... go for a walk. Recent study published in the journal Appetite, found that subjects who took a brisk 15 minute walk cut down food cravings by 12%.
2. Lose to Muffin Top: Just 80 minutes of cardio a week slows weight gain a year after weight loss.
3. Quit the cancer sticks: I don't smoke but may be useful to readers who are ... 10-15 minutes if aerobic exercise trigger changes within the brain that help diffuse nicotine cravings.
4. Keep your sight: people who run 1.2 to 2.5 miles a day had a 19% lower chance of developing age-related macular degeneration.
5. Reduce Breast Cancer Risk: women who do moderate exericise for 2.5 hours or vigorous activity for 75 minutes a week cut their chance of dying from breast cancer by a third!! Women who did about twice as much lowered the risk to 55%!!!!

Im already feeling motivated again so see what happens by the end of the week :)
