Dieting, losing weight and getting fit at home doesn’t have to include eating just boiled chicken and veggies. This Healthy and Quick Cilantro Garlic Shrimp Recipe will allow you to both lose weight and enjoy your diet.
The best weight loss program combines both a healthy diet and an effective fitness program that not only works but fits into your lifestyle.
Make sure you’re following a workout program that combines both resistance training and cardio. If time is an issue, stick to using main exercises to tone like squats, jump rope, running, curls, push-ups, shoulder press, pull-ups (assisted) and so on… All these can be done at home with the right home workout. Oh yeah, don’t forget about boxing workouts as they can be done anywhere with or without a bag and use your entire body if done correctly. Plus, you get the benefits of stress relief (TheBlueDoveFoundation), coordination and stamina.
This cilantro garlic shrimp recipe is versatile as you could add chicken instead of shrimp or add organic chopped up mango if you want to add some sweetness. Eating healthy doesn’t have to be boring. Mix it up and work out….
