Coaching Coach K: How Scary Is It? NO, I'm not talking about Tom Luna

The thought of Tom at the helm again is enough to make all of us quit, but the "scary" I'm talking about is Halloween scary. Pictures attached.

Recipe of the Day

DON'T FORGET.... 20-23grams of fiber needed every day! If you're a guy you need 30.
Great Sources of Fiber: Bran Cereals, Frosted Mini-Wheats, Apples, Pears, Fiber One Bars, Beans, Raspberries
120 Calorie Dessert w/fiber
I'm not usually a fan of sugar-free but honestly sugar-free angel food cake tastes the same to me as regular angel food cake. If you're looking for a low cal. dessert.... this is a great one to serve at dinner for your family or with guests. Just buy your sugar-free angelfood cake and frozen blackberries or raspberries (super source of fiber) and a tub of lite cool-whip. That's it. Cut the cake in 8 slices. Drizzle each slice with the berries AND JUICE from the berries and dab on some cool-whip. Don't get carried away with the cool whip or your calories go up. Guys can have a bigger dab because they get more calories per day than we do.
ADDING FIBER: Raspberries are very high in Fiber. Add them to everything! :D Fiber One Granola Cereal is great sprinkled in your yogurt and added with fresh berries! Canned Kidney beans (rinse first) added to your salad can double the fiber in your salad.
If you're not poohing 2-3 times a day.... you're not getting enough fiber.

Exercise/Activity For the Day!

Bedroom Workout:

- 10 walking lunges each leg (slow and steady)

- 10 standing squats (your knees shouldn't go past your toes)

- Open up your core (slowly and gracefully open arms to the left, to the right, over your head, then out to either side)

- 20 jumping jacks

- 20 slowly controlled forearm squeezes (hold hands up like you're going to put on operating gloves, squeeze together w/elbows and wrists touching in front of you)

-10 more controlled standing squats (more about depth and control than speed)

Finish the rest in bed lying down:

- 30-50 crunches laying down on your bed wrists crossed at chest, short consistent crunches

- Release stomach muscles by pulling knees to stomach for a bit

- 30 alternating elbow to knee (Right elbow to left knee, etc.)

- Stretch your calves and quads: gently and slowly use both hands to pull your right leg toward your face. Your leg should be straight and stiff (no bending) sticking straight up in the air. You pull gently toward you and stop when it feels tight. Hold a few seconds. Do the same with your left leg. Repeat 3X.

That's it. That's all I do. :D
