3-Day Designer Wellness Weight Management Boost

3-Day Designer Wellness Weight Management Boost

Posted by Matt Grimm on

Happy 2023! The power of mentally moving into a new year helps us focus on creating a fresh start on the life we want and bringing it to fruition. We are the creators of our life, and the root of our ability to make positive changes and creations comes from nourishing our minds and bodies. Designer Wellness is devoted to providing high-end products made with quality ingredients that help you do just that. To help kick start your New Year, we've created a three-day kick starter plan, including products to help nourish your body and mind.

Before diving into the 3-Day Food Plan, it's crucial to establish a morning routine to set the tone of your day. We highly recommend trying the two physical and mental exercises below during this three-day plan and beyond to provide a whole-body approach to a healthier year.

Mindfulness exercise: Stress wreaks havoc on our entire body and can slow our progress toward healthy outcomes. Mindfulness breath work helps calm the mind, oxygenate the body, and relax the vagus nerve, which helps stabilize the nervous system.

5-minute alternate nose breath work:

  • Close the left nostril.
  • Breathe in for 10 seconds.
  • Hold for 10 seconds.
  • Breathe out of the right nostril for 10 seconds.
  • Now breathe in from the right nostril. Hold for 10 seconds.
  •  Breathe out for 10 seconds from the left.
  • Repeat the cycle for 5 minutes.

Physical Exercise: Including a minimum of 30 minutes of exercise help boost your focus and metabolism. Engaging in interval training for these 30 minutes can give you additional metabolic and health benefits. Interval training involves bursts of exercise, think rapid speed walking/running/jumping jacks with moderate exercise like walking or jogging. Interval exercises have been shown to help target fat, increase metabolic burn, improve cardiovascular health, improve blood pressure and increase energy,

  •  Example 30-minute HIIT workout is as follows:
    5-minute warmup
  • High-Intensity Interval  circuit:

○       intense exercise for 30 seconds (jog in place)

○       rest or  30 seconds of squats

○       intense exercise for 30 seconds (jumping jacks)

○       rest  or 30 seconds of bicep curls

○       intense exercise for 30 seconds (burpees)

○       rest or 30 seconds of triceps kickbacks

○       intense exercise for 30 seconds (jog in place)

○       rest 30 seconds or lunges

○       intense exercise for 30 seconds (jumps)

○       rest 30 seconds or push-ups

  • Repeat this circuit three more times
  • 5-minute stretching session to cool down
