Start with cereal:

Start your day off with a bowl of oatmeal or cold cereal low in sugar.  Use the nutrition facts to see how much fiber you are getting.

Look for whole grain products:

You can find whole grain products that will increase your fiber intake for the day in bread and pasta all the way to energy bars.  

Try a variety:
Try eating your vegetables with pasta. In addition to fulfilling your fiber amount for the day, you will get the antioxidants, vitamins and minerals from the vegetables.

Maggie’s Exercise Pick of the day

Outer/Inner Thigh Kick

1. Stand about 2 feet away from a stable, waist high surface like a counter, chair, or box.

2. Holding lightly onto your surface and keeping your shoulders down, rise onto the ball of your left foot.

3. Lift your right leg to the side while keeping your abs engaged and your leg straight.  Bring (swing) your right leg across the front of your body crossing in front of the left leg.

4. Swing the right leg back to the right side while keeping your foot flexed and toes turned out.

5. Remember: Keep both legs straight, move the swinging leg slowly for resistance, keep your hips straight forward, and keep your abs engaged.

Targets: outer and inner thighs and your glutes (butt)!

Have fun filling up your day with all the nutrients your body needs and trying out a new and fun exercise that I have previously enjoyed myself.  Trust me, you’ll love it!

Sincerely,

Maggie
