Going to try something a little different...
Crazy I know, again - I am blogging more than once in a day.
I've just come back for a run and thought I would update you...
Since my last post of today was pretty long I decided to add another, plus the viewings today are hitting the roof! Thanks, what a lovely bunch! Anyway...
Back in Summer I tried an extreme diet, just as an experiment as I've never really done one before. I eat a pretty healthy diet and exercise regularly, well I go through phases. Some weeks I exercise loads, others not at all, guess I have to be in the mood.
Now, the diet itself made me sick, it was horrible but after only 2 days of doing it, the pounds were really starting to drop off, quickly. I think I lost about 6lbs in 4 days, can't be healthy.
Anyway, the point being - the diet sucked but the exercises were genius so I shall share with you...
Tonight, I have been on a very quick run, 1 mile.
I like this though as it means I come home with a lot of energy and I've ran way faster than usual with it only taking up less than 10 mins of my day.
So here goes, after a run - try all/some of these out, you'll start to notice the difference in no time.
Ps. As one of my resolutions is to start saving and another, is getting fit - home exercises are the way forward, who needs a gym pass?
Bare in mind I have edited the below content to suit my fitness levels/wants.
Exercise Plan
Stage 1: morning cardio, first thing in the morning.
When?: Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings
- 3min brisk walking
- 2 min jog
- 1 min sprint
Repeat six times
5 minute cool down
Stage 2: fat burning circuits
When?: Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings
Monday: Complete each exercise, 45 second rest after each circuit- repeat until you have finished 3 circuits
- 10 push ups
- 10 squats (30 second hold
after last rep - thighs parallel
to ground)
- 10 squat jumps
- 10 tricep dips
- 10 lunges
- 10 split squat jumps,
10 on each leg
- 10 abdominal leg
lowerings
- 1 minute of jumping
jacks
Wednesday: Repeat the above only, this time it's 12 of everything, again with a 45 second rest after each circuit until you have completed 3 circuits. 2 minutes of jumping jacks.
Friday: Repeat the above, this time it's 15 of everything, again with a 45 second rest after each circuit until you have completed 3 circuits. 2 minutes of jumping jacks.
So there you go.
I figure you must now been thinking, what a complete idiot.
But no, if you're thinking new year, fresh start and you want to get fit... try it out.
I don't do it every week, I don't do it everyday, but I do take little bits and do them after exercise.
Even if you only do a few exercises per week, every little helps!
Hey girls, someday we may look like this...
Joking!!!

Haha love the pic at the end! Sexy! Great post, sounds like an awesome workout! I don't do gyms anymore, much more comfortable exercising at home. Thanks for this, will be introducing it into my routine as I get bored doing the same old things. I thought about doing a low carb diet but after seeing my bf so miserable and moody from it, I decided against it hehe.

Yeah the diet that goes with this is very hard... running on an empty stomach, drinking water and lemon and eating only chicken/egg whites and green veg! I wouldn't recommend, made me really ill but the exercises are really good! It's a pretty awesome way of exercising as I have no time for the gym! xx
