Exercise Tips & Banana Breakfast Wrap (she: Lacee)

Hey everyone! This is Lacee, a 20-something kickbox, spinning, and yoga instructor, wife, momma of 2 energizer bunny-like kiddos, and lover of ALL things exercise!! I blog over at www.FABuptheflab.blogspot.com.

And today, biceps are our first victims!

The Bicep Curl

1. Feet shoulder width apart, toes forward, knees slightly bent (soft)

2. Bellybutton in towards the spine, and up towards the heart.

3. Elbows in at the waist (NO swinging)

4. Palms face forward


 

5. Raise palms towards shoulders, elbows stay at the waist


 

6. Tuck the pelvis under

Use any size weights. If you don’t have any, use soup cans or water bottles.

REPS:

Lighter weights (1-5lbs) 3 sets of 16 3 times a week

Heavier weights (6-10) 1 set of 16, 1 set of 14, 1 set of 12, 3 times a week

**Don’t forget to rest in between sets for a minute or so. EXHALE when you bring arms up! **

Now that you’ve worked, fuel your body with this delicious (and healthy!) breakfast wrap…

Breakfast Wrap

• Whole Wheat Tortilla
• Peanut Butter
• Honey
• Shredded Wheat Biscuits (the big ones)
• Any flavor of lite yogurt
• Banana
• Trail mix (preferably one with nuts and dried fruit), optional

Directions:
Take one shredded wheat biscuit and crush it in a bowl, add to that the lite yogurt and set aside.
Take the whole wheat tortilla and spread a thin layer of peanut butter on it. Then on top drizzle a little bit of honey (this is just to give a little sweetness so don’t use too much). Add the shredded wheat/yogurt mixture to the tortilla. Cut half a banana on top of shredded wheat and then put a little bit of trail mix or granola on top. Wrap up breakfast wrap and enjoy!!! 

(1 serving=1 tortilla=about 250-300 calories, perfect for breakfast).
