CARDIO BLAST: POWER SQUAT CHOPS

To do it: Stand with your feet together, arms extended overhead, hands clasped.

Quickly jump your feet out wide and land in a squat position as you chop your arms across your body to the outside of your left hip.

Quickly jump your feet back together and raise your arms overhead again. That’s one rep. Repeat 20 times total as quickly as you can, alternating sides with your arms each time.

This one was a Killer! And a quick one too!

my time: 6:41mins including water breaks. Getting the heartrate up so much in so little time is amazing.
Come on, 7 minutes? You always have time for 7 minutes right? Smash it!

! High Kicks: Arms are out to your side. Now get one leg up, keeping it as straight as possible and touch opposite Hand to opposite toes (left hand, right foot ;) )
The movement comes from twisting your torso, not from moving your arm!
+ do it SLOW but with good form :)

! Plié Hops: As seen in 30dShred lvl3: Plié position (wide squat, toes pointing out), small hops, knees bent, just leaving the floor for a few cm/inches.

Awesome awesome workout.

Doesn’t necessarily debunk the bad intuitive eating day I had today, but certainly makes it a smidgeon better.

Roasted Chickpea Snack

A great addictive snack! I am not a fan of chickpeas, but these are so good I would serve them at a party. A healthy snack, so simple to make, loaded with fiber and just plain good for you. Chickpeas are a great source of zinc, folate and protein. Weight Watchers, South Beach all have a different version of this recipe. This is the recipe that worked best for me. You can use any spices you like or adjust the spice to your taste. The possibilities are endless. If you don’t like curry, try using salt and garlic powder.

Servings: 3 servings • Size: 5 oz • Old Points: 2 pts • Points+: 4 pts
Calories: 149.4 • Fat: 3.4 g • Carb: 29.2 g • Fiber: 10.5 g • Protein: 7.5 g

• 15 oz can chickpeas, drained
• olive oil spray
• salt
• 1 tsp chili pepper powder (to taste)
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp coriander
• 1 tsp curry powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder

Preheat oven to 375°. Drain chickpeas in a colander and let them dry completely. Pat dry with a paper towel if needed.

Arrange on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for about 30-35 minutes, shaking the pan every ten minutes. All ovens are different so make sure they don’t burn. They will be golden brown and crunchy on the inside when done, not moist.

In a medium bowl, combine all the spices. Remove chickpeas from oven when done and spray with olive oil spray. Immediately toss with spices while hot. Eat at room temperature.
