Expending all this energy you need to make sure you're intaking your necessary vitamins and minerals. This is where the juicing comes in as well as taking a multivitamin. I take my multivitamin in powder form and drink it at least 30 minutes before my morning workout. The brand I use for multi-vitamin is "ALL-ONE". Water intake is important because you'll need it to make sure you are hydrated properly for the treadmill and especially the spin class days (I drink gatorade during spin class). I would suggest at most 4 normal sized bottles per day (16 oz).
An easy thing to eliminate is soda. Also try to minimize your dairy intake. Collard greens are a good source of calcium - on par with milk so that why when I juice I add the collard greens. Collard greens are also a good source of magnesium which is essential for a healthy heart. I personally also eat all bran in the morning so my mid morning snack usually ends up being oatmeal.
Another dietary essential that I adopted in 1994 was I cut out cooking with vegetable oil and switched over to extra virgin olive oil.
To help minimize my dairy I switched over to soy milk but if you don't like the taste 1% cows milk would be a good idea.
Just thought of another snack idea - hard shelled nuts (almonds, walnuts, cashews, etc.)
I think that covers my basic philosophy. Hope it helps and I will remember to look for a good description of some ab excercises for you.
