Describe your daily diet…
I’m quite a healthy eater, so for breakfast I’ll
have avocado on crackers with poached egg.
I don’t like to feel too full at lunch, so I’ll have a
light dish like a tuna salad. For dinner, I’ll cook
something that will last a few nights, like a

under and tense your core then lift
your left leg up and bend at the knee,
bringing to across the centre of your
body. As you do this, crunch your right

PLANK REACHES
Start on the floor then plant your hands directly under your
shoulders, palms down, and tuck your toes under, bringing
your body off the floor and into a high plank position. From

your knees so your legs are in a “table top” position. Make sure
your pelvis is tucked under so your lower back is pushed into
the floor and your core is engaged. From here, lift both arms so
they are pointing to the ceiling. Now, with control, drop your
left arm back behind your head in a straight line while, at the
same time, straightening your right leg and lowering it down till
it nearly touches the floor. Then, with control, bring back to the
start position and repeat on the opposite side.
