Workouts

My fiance has decided that he too wants to lose some weight, which is awesome because it means I don't have to do this on my own anymore :D

Now, he could totally do some of the workouts that I do, but he's a bloke and he's 6 feet and rather broad, so really he needed workouts that would push him a bit harder and will help him build more muscle. Same when it comes to the food he'll be eating. I've been feeding him, because otherwise he'd just forget bless him, and I've been making sure what he's eating is healthy, but he wants to fit into this suit for 3 weeks time. So I've come up with a 'diet plan' too, so hopefully he'll succeed :).

Both of these workouts are perfect for us, as there's no jumping about included, which when you live on a top floor flat is just want you need. But they're also strenuous, make sure to use a weight that pushes you (women ~ 2-5kg, men ~ >5) but doesn't make you hurt.

Use weights from the weighted sit ups down

Lunchtime Exercise

Okay, so I finally got out of bed after completing my Community Placement 2 Task 1 write up, and I'm doing some Blogilates.

For those of you who don't know, Blogilates is this amazing site run by the ever brilliant Cassey Ho. I found her videos on youtube like....a year ago, maybe, and she completely changed my life - that's not an exaggeration.
I've had quite a few injuries over the years, I used to horse ride as a child and do judo. I've dislocated my knee, I don't know how many times, and sprained my ankle twice. As such I find it difficult to do high impact exercises - I still can't run on the treadmill after dislocating my knee 3 months ago. Pilates is perfect for me.
It's low impact, but high reward, which is just what I need.
I try to do some at least once a day, and Cassey Ho helps with that. Her videos are between 5-20 minutes in length, so I can mix it up.

This is what I've done today:







I'll admit, I did have to stop in some of them. But I'm done!! I am sooooo tired. My arms and my abs and my legs are killing me. But I feel good!

Time for lunchtime smoothie I think :)
