Bek - it is a challenging DVD that one! I did it after DD and also struggled!
I have pilates with my physio tonight... so no PT and no treadmill time. I actually wouldn't mind a treadmill session though. Not sure if I'm looking forward to pilates or not. Haven't been for over a month due to physio being away... and not feeling particularly motivated tonight. I want to go to bed!
I did Body Balance this morning and ahhh the relief! My aching muscles feel all nicely stretched out now! YAY! I love the scorpion move with the pushups, I want to do that again!!!
I joined the gym today, signed up for 12 months so here comes the new, fit me!!
(And then I ruined it by eating chips because I didn't get a chance to eat a proper lunch & let myself get hungry - )
Hey guys, things are going well with me...I ran yesterday for the first time since my injury (3 months) which was amazing!! I forgot how much I love it! Then I did leg weights with my friend who is nasty...he kills me! Then taught last night and managed to do both sets of 16 single push ups on my toes for the conditioning track (yay me!).
Taught again this morning and was a no go on the push ups on toes - did the first set and second set I only got to 8 before I had to drop down...had better technique though!
Was supposed to do Pump tonight (and eye up this PT i've been flirt texting with!!!) at one of the city gyms but everyone bailed on me and I didn't want to turn up by myself (LAME)!!!
So now I don't know what to do...might go for a run!
CQ - awesome work with running - and your push up efforts were also golden - what an awesome start. Only 8 more on the toes till you complete the entire track .
BekZ - well done for getting up and doing something - that is a start in the right direction. The only way from here in on the up now sista! As for what exercise is best for your body shape / type - I would recommend (like I would for anyone else) 2 'weights' sessions (light weight with high reps - or a Body Pump class) and 2 -3 cardio sessions each week (try to aim for 300 mins a week in total). That is the new research fresh from the USA to lose weight. Cardio can be either a fitness class, on cardio equipmemt, brisk walking - anything that gets ya moving and your heart rate up.
Winter - glad you enjoyed Body Balance and signed up at the gym. Once again I feel terrible for not giving you the Pump advice earlier the other day .
MG - how did pilates go with the physio? Pilates can be gruelling at the best of times let alone one on one with a physio.
Hollo - you should give Combat a try. Heaps of people don't think its them until they experience it. Still a percentage after their first try don't gel with Combat, but they've given it a crack. I usually tell participants give it a few tries to get the hang of it and then make up your mind whether you want to come back or not .
AFM - gave the new RPM a crack yesterday - it was awesome, always great to hear new motivating music and choreography. I taught my first Balance class since having Blake last night and I didn't miss a beat and nailed the choreography. The class was a bit louder than I'd like participants to be during Balance, but I just went along with it and laughed along with them - fairly casual bunch, but great laughs were had by one and all!
Been following your thread for a couple of days - you made me miss doing the combat/jam/pump classes I used to do at the gym. Got me thinking about re-joining a gym to shift a bit of post baby weight. Now I've just got to check a new one out down the road a bit (to see if they do the Les Mills stuff) and see what they're like - they sound affordable at the moment. Not quite sure where I'm going to fit it in getting there though. (Already do pilates on Monday evenings - but we're on the Christmas break still until the end of the month)
