Revolt - My second week!

After the first couple of days of feeling extremely sore after my Revolt exercise videos (I was literally walking like a penguin), I decided it was time to look at some good stretching techniques for after my workout. I tried out a few, but the following video feels like it gives me the best stretch and I feel so much better after workouts now I'm doing it.

This week I've been packing to move to London, so have had very little time to fit in exercise, but I've managed to only miss 1 day. Revolt has been really easy to fit around my life so far. I haven't stuck to the diet plan too brilliantly for the first week, as it was a detox plan and there weren't many vegan options. As I mentioned in my last post I've mainly been eating clean, cutting out wheat and sugar and drinking lots of Sunwarrior protein shakes. I feel like I have a lot more energy after cutting out the wheat and sugar especially and I'm feeling stronger over all from exercising more. So far I'm really impressed with the Revolt plan.

Revolt - an introduction

A couple of weeks ago I got asked to join a team of bloggers doing the Revolt Challenge. I jumped at the chance, because after a few months of illness and putting on a few lbs I'm trying to get fit again. I'm going to be updating you every Saturday with how I'm getting on with the plan.

I started this plan on Wednesday and I'm already feeling the effects (I was supposed to start on Monday, but was away on Monday and Tuesday).

I love exercise in the form of hiking or going to classes with friends, but at home sometimes I can get a little bored of a plan. So far Revolt has mixed it up with a few different exercise videos, they're pretty short and achievable so I haven't got fed up yet. I like that they're usually around 25 mins long so I can fit them in before I start work for the day.

I know I'll find the diet plan the hardest, when I was more active I would just eat whatever I want because I'd be horse riding and walking the dogs every day. It's going to be an adjustment to be on a diet plan. The first week has consisted of a detox menu designed to cleanse your body of sugar. This has been really hard for me as there are tons of eggs and a little meat on the menu, so I've been replacing them with Sunwarrior protein shakes, beans and tofu. I also almost had a heart attack when I saw no avocados on the detox menu, how can I manage that??! 

What I do like about the meal plan though is that there are different options for your height and body type, as a tall girl I think I'd feel pretty deprived eating a diet plan aimed at someone much shorter.
