Fitness post part 4!!

Hi Guys and Gals,
I feel like i haven't posted in ages and i don't like this feeling at all!, 
Finally posting another fitness post although it will be pretty boring because i have literally just been doing cardio all week as one of the instructors who does the classes is off on holiday. Hopefully she is back next week so i can book into some classes and be able to have a more detailed post for you with some exercises you can try out.  It might be a bit of a short fitness section but i will still have a smoothie and meal recipe for you at the end, i did want to upload this on Friday but i had a children's party i had to attend with my eldest and we didn't get home till 8:15pm!!!! (i really need to drive) ← random fact about me there!.😅 

Monday
Cardio...... basically just went on the cross trainer for today's session to get back into things.

Tuesday
Cardio......... today i went on the treadmill and the exercise bike to burn off some of those stubborn calories 😂

Wednesday
Yet more cardio, cross trainer paired with the treadmill and a cheeky go of the weighted hula hoop just to finish off

Thursday
Cardio..... exercise bike and cross trainer today for me, my legs are not my friend 😐

Friday
Would of been cardio but didn't get to go because one of my girls had a bit of tummy ache so was off school and children aren't allowed in the gym unfortunately!

Now for the meal and smoothie recipes, if any of you use these please leave a comment below and tell me what you thought of them, would really like to hear from you guys.

2nd Fitness post!!

Hi all, first off i have to say i'm sorry this post is late, only by a day though so better late the never eh!. I got back late Sunday night from a weekends away and one of my girls is a little under the weather so this is the first chance i have to post.

So this is the 2nd Fitness post i am about to upload, i am doing one every week about what i have got up to fitness wise the following week. As you all know last week was the first week of the two week Easter break and because i have my two beautiful girls with me for two whole weeks instead of being in school i cant get to the gym so have to find a different way of keeping up with the exercises, so this may be a short post ha ha, Any way i will get on with is so check out my week below! 👇😊

Monday
So i started out with the squat challenge, this time my girls had the pleasure of joining in with me, they loved it one was counting along as we did each squat 😄. We did plenty of walking and i did some exercises using an app i have on my mobile called workouts. On the app you can choose from Ab, Arm, Butt, Cardio, Leg or Full Body, workouts then the program will ask you to choose between a 5,8 or 10 minute workout, once chosen desired time it will play different exercises for you to do non- stop till the time is up. I currently have an iphone so if you want to check this app out type in workouts to the app store, the app cover is a white square with a blue jogging lady in a blue circle, there is also another good app i also use called simply yoga that is again a white square with a pink woman doing a yoga pose in a pink circle, check them out, pretty good if you cant get to the gym.

Tuesday
Today was rest day for the squat challenge so i didn't have to do that ha ha, Today i spent the whole day doing the garden, digging it over and my gosh it was such hard work!,i  feel that was a good enough work out, sweated so much and my whole body ached especially my arms!.

Wednesday
Started with squat challenge again with the girls, enjoyed a lovely meal at my aunties house then walked to my mums, got some lovely scenery picks from the hill walk, unfortunately because the sun was shining they are a little dark, i also did another work out using the workouts app.

Thursday
Literally did the same as i did yesterday except for the hill walk, Just squat challenge and home workout.

Friday
had time to fit in the squat challenge before i went away for the weekend to visit family

Saturday
family time, missed the squat challenge today but did go on a lovely walk on the beach with the families dogs in Redcar and also visited Whitby and walked round the town sightseeing.

Sunday 
Visited a gym in Middlesborough to get a quick session in, we got in free because it was the first time we had been. It was called the lifestyle fitness, and is honestly the best gym i have ever visited hands down, It was huge they had two floors and every single machine/piece of equipment you could think of even monkey bars and Olympic rings, it also had a ladies only room with cardio and weight sections, as well as a fully stocked health bar and they even sold fitness products like protein powder, shakes etc, i wish they had that gym where i lived. So had a fab early morning work out there.

I did have some pictures to post in this post but it wont let me for some reason so i will post them in the next post, smoothie recipe below. 👇
