"I crack the whip, and you skip" - 10 / 10 Boot Camp

940 replies

FrannyandZooey · 20/08/2007 08:24

For anyone who wants a boost to their general health. The suggested goals are:

EAT 10 PORTIONS OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLES EVERY DAY - if you don't usually eat much fruit and veg I would build up gradually or you could upset your digestion.

DO (AT LEAST) 10 MINUTES OF EXERCISE EVERY DAY - can be yoga, stretching or something more energetic. The plan is that the idea of doing 10 minutes is not too daunting, and having started you may well find you want to do more.

There are no restrictions on what you eat so long as you get your 10 fruit and veg as well. The focus is not on weight loss but on improving our energy levels and hopefully our general mood and well-being. Sign up below and post here to tell us how you're getting on and how you are feeling.

Basic guidance on what constitutes a portion of fruit and veg here and you can download more detailed information by following the link at the very bottom of the page

MrsCarrot · 20/08/2007 17:44

kebabs?

BBBee · 20/08/2007 17:44

Nicola is good for greeny and Anna for 100 is a good effort but all the others were rubbish and didn't fit at all. Sorry.

Tranquila · 20/08/2007 17:44

Clara now...

i am getting quite posh names from some... except greeny who called me common boring old claire... [muses pointlessly]

BBBee · 20/08/2007 17:45

MrsC I had you as Catherine - that's good isn't it.

Peppers - really good in a bean salad

Tranquila · 20/08/2007 17:45

yes, i suppose... will have o go out for more ingredients i feel. green pepper kebabs sound a bit dull

BBBee · 20/08/2007 17:46

have you got tinned tomatoes - it would make a nice sweet pepper sauce for pasta

MrsCarrot · 20/08/2007 17:46

not even a to lighten that damning blow, BBBee?

I have others talk about the potted potter btw, that sounds good. Oh, and my dc's are 9 5 and seven months.
