So at the moment my arms and legs are aching soooo much, i have pushed myself more this week in terms of exercising and have done the gym Mon-Sat (maybe even do it tomorrow, sun, i'll decide when i wake up ha ha) and i have also tried eating more healthily, especially at lunchtimes before starting work. During the days i start by walking the girls to school, jumping on the bus to town, straight to the gym, after that i go to work, after work its back to town for dinner things, then back on the bus to collect the girls from school and the walk home from school. I will write a little description of what i have done each day in the gym now starting with Monday.
Monday
I wanted to start off the week with a little cardio, so once i got to the gym i put my stuff in my locker and headed to the cardio room. I started on the treadmill doing a fast walk, i then upped the pace into a slow jog, i only jogged for a couple of minutes then dropped it down to a fast walk and upped the climb to a steep hill walk, i did the hill walk (so sweaty ha ha). After the treadmill i went onto the cross trainer and chose difficulty 9 and whole body work out level, i did this for 10 minutes non-stop as fast as i could, every 10 calories i burned i would change from walking forwards to walking backwards, after another 10 were burned i would switch back to walking forwards, i carried on repeating this until i had done. After the cardio room i went into the circuit room and saw they had a 30 day squat challenge pinned up and luckily it was the first day so i decided to join in. I completed the squat challenge then did 50 crunches just to finish up.
Tuesday
Started with the Squat Challenge today this was my little Pre-workout before my class at 9:30-10:15. This is my favorite class its called Abs and Stretch class, we combine ab workouts with yoga stretches and play relaxing music and even light a Lavender smelling candle. Sounds relaxing but it does get your body worked out and still feel tired and sweaty after ha ha.
Wednesday
Started again with the squat challenge on day 3. I also did 50 crunches with my legs straight out and crossed over on the floor, 10 sit-up paired with an oblique twist using the kettle-bell, 50 crunches with knees bent and feet flat on the floor, 10 full sit ups touching toes with the kettle-bell, another 10 sit-up paired with an oblique twist using the kettle-bell. After this i got the weighted hoop out and did that for while.
Thursday
Today i started with a little 30 min pre-workout because it was 9:30 and my class didn't start until 10:00-10:45. The mini workout included the weighted hoop and some arm exercises using the dumbbells. Today was supposed to be the rest day for the squat challenge but oh no my trainer said we were not having a rest so we started the legs, bums and tums class doing squats (200+ legs were dead) The legs bums and tums class consisted of loads of different exercises including, squats, low squats, lunges, pulse lunges, dumbbell squats, staying in a squatting position and doing rainbow lifts with the dumbbells crunches, bicycle kicks, sit-ups and oblique twists and more!.
Friday
Just did a few different things today, started with my arms doing overhead lifts with dumbbells and a range of other normal lifts, squat challenge day 5, crunches with legs out and crossed over on the floor (didn't count how many just as many as i could in a certain time), 10 oblique twists and dumbbell lifts (lay flat holding dumbbells, do a full sit up, raise the dumbbells above your head for one lift the hold dumbbells out in front lean back about half way and twist one arm out to the side until dumbbell touches floor, bring back to middle and do other arm, keep staring forward, once done lay down fully and repeat) and finished on the weighted hoop.
Saturday
Did the squat challenge at home and got the kids involved ha ha, then headed to the gym. I started with a floor workout doing 10 oblique/dumbbell twists, 1 min 30sec crunches non stop legs out crossed over on floor, crunches legs bent feet flat on floor and crunches legs raised crossed over all for 1 min 30 sec, i then did the hoop cross trainer and the circuit (the circuit is a range or machines that work out your arms, legs and tummy, all arranged in a circle 8 in total a min on each one non-stop).
