I need to tone up before I get married in the summer, plus need to get fitter. I get bouts of 'I'm going to get fit' for a couple of weeks and then it all goes to pot especially with this freezing cold weather. So ive decided to make this a challenge and see how many weeks of the year i can keep this up for. Anyone who wants to join in is welcome. I am counting weeks starting from Sunday and will record the weeks completed next to your names.

Count me in. Went for a lovely walk down canal today in snow with ds1 & ds2 & dog. Been doing my wii fit (xmas pressie) and just got wii dance delivered today. This will be the year I get fit.

I know i was supposed to go to a circuit training class yesterday but it was freezing. Instead did my workout dvd. I do the Joanna Hall 28 Day Total Body Plan DVD. Have had it for a few years now but its pretty good. What do you use?MFW 2016 No 68 £1300/£8500 No new toiletries Cook sth different0 -
I have Vicky Binns (Corrie actress) dvd, it's quite good and dancey. Considering going for a run tomorrow in the snow, fingers crossed I'll stay upright!* Save £s - Lose lbs *

Can I join Skaps?
Great idea and I find that I'm far more likely to do something if I've promised and then got to report failure/sucess! Am overweight (again) and have naturally high cholesterol so fitness isn't something I should be lazy about
Not sure what my 3 lots of exercise are going to be yet. Do have membership for a local swimming pool but am in the process of giving it up as the only 'adult' time is before work (therefore getting up an hour earlier) and I know I'm a wuss but try as I may I just can't do it in the cold dark winter and then drive to work with long wet hair. Yuk. So giving up membership but still intend to go the odd time on a pay-as-you-go basis.
I used to love Yoga and do upto 2 hours a day! So perhaps will try getting into that again
I spent 30mins shovelling snow this morning and broke out into a sweat - am sure that counts0 -
LOL course you can join will add you to the list. This week i have done toning exercises one day and yesterday i did 20 mins of my dvd. I'm planning on going jogging on the weekends as i never can do it on the weekdays but due to the expected snow don't know if this will happen. Maybe i'll just do the dvd instead.MFW 2016 No 68 £1300/£8500 No new toiletries Cook sth different0
