Bikini Booty Summer Body Challenge - Week 5
This week marks week 5 of the Bikini Booty Summer Challenge! I feel like I've come a long way, yet haven't worked quite as hard enough (a bit on my workout, but mostly on my eating habits and diet). It's a mixed feeling of satisfaction with a hint of disappointment, hehe.
Week 5 and 6 will include many circuit workouts; the fat-burning phase of the challenge. Circuit workouts with minimal rest time keeps our heart rate up longer, which pushes us to work harder. This results in burning more calories, and more fat!
I've mentioned before that in order to see the results from the gym, our diet has to be clean, healthy, and balanced. Another important factor for seeing results is sleep.
Sleep allows your brain to rest, and your body's muscles and tissues to repair. Training yourself lots at the gym and not getting ample rest can also impede on our results. Sleep plays a role in protein synthesis, and allows you to recharge for the gym or other activities for the next day.
There is research that states sleep can be "made up" for, so take an extra couple hours on the weekends to sleep in if you cut yourself short of 8 hours a day during the week!
I think I'm going to go take a nap, hehe :D
Cheers!
xoxo
