Okay, so I was going to put up a photo of my current weight but I couldn't get up the stairs after doing my first night of my new work out plan. But I will soon I promise. Now, a lot of people say I shouldn't be unhappy with my weight, but I am, simple. It has nothing to do with what other people say, I just feel like I could look a hell of a lot better. Every month I will be changing my work out plan so I don't hit the wall, but this is the first month!
Can I just add, while I am writing this I am slowly sipping a glass of room temperature water and I am sweating to death. When I am done I will somehow go upstairs. Okay so this months work out plan is a mix of my own history of exercise which has worked before and also a work out plan called 'Beach Babes' from a Youtube channel called ToneItUpcom (http://www.youtube.com/user/ToneItUpcom) who are amazing.
So I am going to take you guys through it step by step! Let me know if it works for you or if yours is different let me know what you are doing! I also apologize for how I described some of the exercises, some of them are difficult to explain.
-20 Frog Jumps: Stand with your legs at shoulder width and use this first stance as your starting and finishing point. Jump forwards, your legs still apart at the same width and then do a squat. Jump back to the original place and squat. Repeat.
-30 Side Lunges: Same stance as before lean to the right till your in a position your knee closer to the ground. Instead of returning to the original stance, keep going past the stance and twist your body, right knee connecting with left elbow. Then return to original stance. (See what I mean about bad description). Do this 30 reps for each side.
-5 Walk out Push Ups. Stand toes together. Go down as if you were going to touch your toes but as your do move your hands out till the are a step ahead, then keep moving outwards till your body is stretched out. Follow with one push up. Then use your hands to 'crawl' back up till you are standing. (I am only starting with 5 because I am terrible at push ups. I will increase by 5 each week).
-High Knees. Stand with feet about a foot apart. Join your hands together and keep them at chest height. Jog on the spot but bring your knees upwards to meet your hands which will go from side to side as you swing your arms. (I do this till I feel like I can't physically cannot do anymore).
-20 Waistline Crunches: Stand as if you are going to do a star jump. Legs apart but with only one arm in the air, the other on your hip. Start with the right side. Bring your arm down till it is bent and the elbow is about waist height. Bring the knee up to meet it. Return to starting position. Do this 20 reps for each side.
-Figure 8's- Stand with your feet and knees at shoulder width or feet together. Twist your hips so they looks like they are drawing an '8'. Swing your arms in a salsa style. Do this for about a minute or so.
-20 toe touches- I am starting this in the easy position. My legs slightly spread, arms straight in the air. Bring your arms down in a swinging motion to touch the space between your legs. Then bring back up to starting position. Rep 20 times. Once your flexibility increased, try with your legs together, or legs further apart.
-20 mixed toe touches- Repeat the above exercise but when returning to starting position bend slightly backwards. Do 20 reps.
-20 balances. With feet together take your right foot in your right hand. Lean forward and let your arm stretch out in front of you. Hold for five seconds then return to holding your foot. Repeat 20 times on each leg.
-20 Sit Ups- Start by laying back on your back and your knees bent. Bring yourself up till you are mid way between your knees. Then return back to position.
- Meditation- Sit with legs crossed and just relax. Let yourself slow your breathing.
For the first week I am only doing these exercises once. Each week I will step it up another rep. I will also be going for a jog most morning which before I will be doing 20 sit ups and some stretches and a little yoga.
To really make sure I am doing this right I will be eating what I want but in small proportions. I generally eat pretty healthy. But I will also be drinking more water.
Let's see if this works and let's get fit!
Keep Healthy!
