A Quick Circuit Workout and Healthy Cornmeal Pancake Breakfast



It looks so nice outside right now, the trees still look green and I can feel the cool breeze coming through my window. The sun is very bright, actually, and the fresh air smell like hibiscus. Truthfully, this atmosphere is calling me out right now, so I won't write here for too long, because I have to go do my quick 1o -15 minutes, body weight circuit work out right in the park in the picture above. It's just a couple of blocks away from where I live.

Before I tell you exactly what I'm going to do and how you may benefit from it if you chose to. I have to tell you about this healthy breakfast recipe I had this morning. It was something new, tasty, and yummy. Variety is important, not just for exercise but for healthy food choices as well. This time my amazing girlfriend made it. She's becoming a healthy, holistic, nutrition addict. Alright! this is the healthy breakfast she made, and it's called:

Cornmeal Pancake:

1 cup of egg beaters (3 whole brown eggs)
2 teaspoon of olive oil
1 small or medium cup of red onion, yellow pepper, and fresh tomatoes (all chopped)
1/2 cup of very thin cornmeal
1 dash = little bit) of basil
1 dash oregano
1 dash cayenne pepper
1 dash of salt
1 dash of maggi polo (you can get this ingredient at any Hispanics, Greek, Asian, or Caribbean food store/market)

Okay! let me give you and idea of the nutrient content this healthy breakfast has in it. It has about: 330 calories, 34 grams of carb, 32 grams of protein, 8.6 gram of fat, and 5 gram of fiber. By the way, I had a medium cup green tea with that, some healthy supplements (omega 3's, calcium, vitamin) and a huge glass of water. I still feel so energize for my work out. Alright here's what I'm going to do in the park right now. Yeah I didn't chose the gym today.

1) Walk up the stairs, it's a little hilly, 3 times, and run up and down on it three times,
2) Step ups on the bench and lunges on the ground (3 sets)
3) Variety of ground push ups, to failure, (3 sets)
4) The ultimate upper body work PULL UPS, a variety of it (3 -4 sets). If you have never done pull ups or not good at it, keep practicing, and gain more strength, you'll be glad you did.
5) A few variety of ab exercise for real six packs abs and beautiful obliques.

If you commit yourself to exercise at least 3 times a week and you couple that with good eating strategies. It could be in the gym, the park or your home, you'll start seeing changes in your body and your health. Word of caution: Don't do any of these exercises if you have any serious medical problems.
