HEALTHY FOOD TIPS FOR STUDENTS ft. Pick Up Limes
theguy 0 Comments Healthy Food
Hello everyone! I am very excited for today’s video because besides being a very requested subject I have partnered with Sadia over at Pickuplimes to deliver you two videos that will help you get healthy and eat well during your years in school and university. In this video I will be talking about general tips on how to manage your time in order to shop for groceries, meal prep, pack your lunch and overall making healthy eating a priority and Sadia will present you with some recipes for study snacks and general healthy ingredients that you should incorporate into your life. I will link her video down below, so you can get started with your healthy eating habits. For me, good time management is crucial to get to eat healthy every day if you are not living with anyone else and have to take care of your own meals.
Every friday, I do some brainstorming for recipes for the next week. I try to mix things up and create a routine where some of my meals can be completely cooked during my meal prep and others are cooked on the spot. This allows me the freedom to be able to cook during the week, which is something that I really enjoy, but also still be able to eat something healthy on those lazy days. By establishing all of the recipes, including breakfast and snacks, that I want to be cooking next week, I am able to create a thorough list of ingredients.
I have a very strict grocery shopping schedule – I order most of my groceries online and all of my food for the entire week arrives at my doorstep every Sunday night. Shopping for groceries online also allowed me for something else: I stopped buying things because of my cravings since when shopping online I search for the things I need, and I am not driven for the packaging and the things I see in the shopping aisle.
That allows for a quick shopping trip and also allows me to narrow down the scope of things I need and am actually going to consume. On the other hand, I end up saving a lot of money. If I have a very specific budget for groceries to respect each week, shopping online makes it way easier to respect it, as I am constantly seeing the total amount of money I am going to pay for the items I’ve added to my shopping cart and won’t end up surprised during checkout. If I pass the limit I set out to myself I can always go back and remove things from the cart and even search for cheaper alternatives just by filtering the results and ordering items by price.
Overall, I recommend everyone to get into online grocery shopping if you lack the time and have the service available. In case you can’t compromise to that system, try to schedule a very strict After I know when my groceries will be delivered I schedule a block of time in my calendar each week to do some meal prepping and this usually happens either Sunday night or Monday morning. For meal prepping, I usually do a batch of guacamole, baked sweet potatoes, tomato sauce and some chili or curry every week. Those are staples that are almost consistently on my fridge and then I mix things up and do some occasional cooking.
You have a lot of freedom with salads and rice bowls, for instance, where you can combine tons of different ingredients and leftovers from your fridge. I usually make sure that I have a couple of staple ingredients to prep my salads each week, like fresh spinach leaves, cherry tomatoes and parlsey and then I build up from there according to what I have around in my fridge. Although I am lucky enough to be able to lunch at home during most days of the week, I sometimes have the need to quickly grab something to eat in my lunchbreak between classes.
In those days I either pick something up from my meal prepping and pack it in airtight containers or cook two portions of dinner the night before and pack one of those portions to take with me to university the day after. Sometimes I also create my own salad or rice bowls with some leftovers. I have created a companion blog post that you can check out with more details on this subject.
I will link the types of container I’m using, how I pack for lunch, a few more details on meal prepping and grocery shopping an so on. You can find all of that down below as well as a link to Sadia’s video. I hope you’ve enjoyed today’s video and I will see you next week. Bye! .

2-Exercise Workout to Get Slim Legs in a Week
theguy 0 Comments Get fit Health
Two-exercise workout to tighten your legs in a week. Alex Silver-Fagan, a Nike trainer, believes that to get your legs and buttocks into great shape, you need to do squats! Yeah, I know, squats. Well, they work. So, we’ve made a week training plan for you. You should perform only two exercises each day. They’re simple, and you can do all of them at home while watching this video. Follow it, and watch your body change for the better.
Day one – exercise number one – basic squat. Start your weekly workout with basic squats. Place your feet shoulder-width apart, standing on your whole foot. Imagine you’re sitting down on a chair, with your knees and feet in the same line and your back straight. You can keep your balance by raising your arms in front of you. Rise back up as slow as you can. This exercise is one of the best for the butt, as it strengthens muscles of the buttocks, thighs and ankles. For a start, you should do it 10 times. Here we go. 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 well done. Exercise number two – squat with kickbacks. Place your feet a little wider than shoulder-width apart and squat. As you stand up, transfer your leg to one leg and kick back with another. Return to the starting position and repeat on the other side. You should do five times for each leg. Ready, go. Kickbacks will put your buttocks to work.
This exercise is a more dynamic version of the basic squats. It’ll help you make your legs look perfect, and increase your muscle tone all together. Hey, great job. That’s enough for the first day. Day 2 – exercise number 1 – sumo squat. All right, set your legs wide apart with your toes outward. Pull your hips back a bit, and squat until your knees are bent at a right angle. It looks easy doesn’t it? These squats strengthen both your torso and buttocks. Let’s repeat the exercise 10 times. 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Well done.
Exercise number two – reaching sumo squat. This exercise adds some cardio. So, set your legs wide apart with your toes outward. Pull your hips back a bit, and squat until your knees are bent at a right angle. Keep your hands straight down. Strain your buttocks, stand up and raise your hand above your head. Let’s repeat ten times, okay? I’ll count for you. 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Day three – exercise number one – oblique squat. Your waist will thank you for this exercise. Set your legs wide apart with your toes outward. Pull your hips back a bit, and squat ’til your knees are bent at a right angle. Strain your buttocks, and raise your left knee towards your left elbow. Repeat on the other side. You should do this five times on each leg. So, totally, ten. Ready? Let’s start with the left leg. 1 2 3 4 5 Now, the right one. 1 2 3 4 5 well done. Exercise two – pop squat. This exercise gives your muscles a rest after the previous static posture, flushes out lactic acid, and adds some cardio.
Set your feet a little wider than shoulder-width apart. Imagine you’re sitting down on a chair, with your knees and feet in the same line. Strain your buttocks, bring your feet together while standing up and moving your straight hands back. You should do it only ten times. 1 2 3 4, come on, 5 6 7, that’s it, 8 9 and 10. You’re doing super great. Day four – exercise number one – narrow squat. It can also be called a warm-up or the pistol squat. Set your feet close together and squat down. Keep your back straight. How many times should you repeat it? Only 10. I’ll count for you. Ready? 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Way to go. Exercise number two – pistol squat. A tough exercise with a lot of work for your knees, so do it carefully, and don’t squat too low. At the beginning, you might also want to hold on to something. Set your feet close together. Stretch your right leg in front and squat down on your other leg. Then, repeat on the other side. You should do five times on each leg.
Shall we begin? Let’s start with the left leg. Here we go. 1 2 3 4 5, all right. Now, the right one. Ready? 1 2 3 4 5, well done. That’s it for the fourth day. Day five – exercise one – curtsey squat. Many muscle groups are involved simultaneously. So, set your legs wide apart with your toes outward. Press your hips back a bit, and squat until your knees are bent at a right angle. Bend your left knee and cross the right leg behind you. Repeat on other side.
You should perform the exercise five times on each leg. Let’s start with the right leg. Ready? 1 2 3 4 5, well done. Now, the left one. Ready? 1 2 3 4 5, all right, well done. Now, the second exercise. Exercise number two – split squat. This exercise significantly strengthens your calves, hips and buttocks. Set your legs wide apart, one foot in front of the other. Keep your back straight and squat. Repeat on the other side. As usual, you should perform the exercise five times on each leg. Start with the right leg. Ready? 1 2 3 4 5 Now, the left one. Ready? 1 2 3 4 5, hey, you’re doing great.
Day six – exercise number one – isometric squat with toe taps. Silver-Fagan calls it the booty burn because of the muscles are as tight as possible. Set your feet a little wider than shoulder-width apart. Squat with your knees and feet in the same line. Stretch your right leg to the right, keeping it straight. Repeat on the other side. Five times on each leg is your goal, so let’s start with the right leg. Ready? 1 2 3 4 5 Okay, let’s go to the left one. Ready? 1 2 3 4 5, all right, good going. Exercise number two – pop squat. All right, set your feet a little wider than shoulder-width apart, imagine you’re sitting down on a chair, with your knees and feet in the same line. Strain your buttocks, bring your feet together while standing up and move your straight hands back. You should do it only ten times. So here we go. Ready? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 and 10 Hey, you’re doing super great. Day seven – exercise number one – sumo squat. Set your legs wide apart with your toes outward.
Pull your hips back a bit, and squat until your knees are bent at a right angle. It looks easy, doesn’t it? These squats strengthen both your torso and buttocks. Let’s repeat the exercise ten times. Ready? 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Well done. Exercise number two – oblique squat. Set your legs wide apart with your toes outward. Pull your hips back a bit, and squat until your knees are bent at a right angle. Strain your buttocks, and lift your left knee towards your left elbow. Repeat on the other side. You should do five times on each leg. So, a total of ten. Ready? Let’s start with the left leg. Here we go. 1 2 3 4 5 All righty.
Now, the right one. Ready? 1 2 3 4 5, all right, well done. If you perform the exercises correctly, you will notice changes in your body within a week.
