Going to do my 2 minute plank at the gym later!

Everyone who's doing the 30DS what is it like in terms of results? I don't really want muscles... just to lose some flab

Hello, I am new to this...actually, I lie, I used to run with my husband, felt good afterwards, but motivating myself to get up was the main issue.

Anyways, just started a routine I hope to keep. Here's the weekly plan;

Do 45mins of insanity with my friend on Weds evenings and Saturday mornings

BLT class with the girls at my local gym on Sunday mornings

Mons- 15mins of hula hoops in the morning and another 15mins in the evening

45mins of insanity/davina by myself on tues mornings

Do 45mins of insanity with my friend on Weds evenings

Thurs -rest day

Fri- 15mins of hula hoops in the morning and another 15mins in the evening

Do 45mins of insanity with my friend on Saturday mornings


So far started this week and I have done;

Sun - 10 mins of WATCHING insanity as BLT class was cancelled..LOL
Tues -45mins of insanity in the morning and another 45mins in the evenings
Wed (yday)-45mins insanity work with my friend and 5mins of weighted hula hooping

Note: INSANITY is INSANE.

Plan to mix it a bit more, may add spinning classes to my routine, as I used to love that a while ago.


My aim is to be fit in general, lose inches and lose 5-7 kg and stay there.

Also food wise, for the last few months now, been trying to eat healthier, no carbs after 6pm, so dinner/tea is usually, carrots, broccoli/spinach and fish/chicken/lamb/beef, weekday is breakfast is usually a bowl of porridge/oats at work and lunch is the wild card, have anything I feel like. My main issue is stopping myself from eating the treats at work (biscuits, cakes etc)...I try, take nuts and grapes with me but it is hard....

I hope we encourage each other on our journeys....

love reading the thread. Will take part in the daily challenge, start off as a beginner...and can we put it at the beginning of the thread so it is easy to find.

Ok , my progress so far,

Last update stopped on wed

So Thurs 21st - rest day
Fri 22nd - felt lazy ha - should have done hula hoops
Sat 23rd morn- did 45mins of insane abs from the insanity dvd
Sunday 24th morning - BLT class at my local gym - for an hour

And joined the exercise classes for a year at the gym - aim to go fo the spinning/cycling class or body combat class tomorrow morning or evening.

Today - when I get home, do 30-45mins of insanity which will have more than 2 mins of plank -which is the daily challenge..so ha ha, 2 in 1!

Crikey everyones been busy!!! :eek: Well done though :T

The usual walking to and from work since I last posted

Saturday I spent about 4 hours cleaning the kitchen cupboards. Not a nice job but needs to be done! OH did admit they haven't been done since he first moved in 3 years ago :eek: Nice of him to leave the task to me, huh?!

Even after all that on Saturday, I managed to do this DVD aswell! Haven't done it in aaaaaages so was well pleased with myself for managing the whole thing!

Yesterday was a shockingly lazy day I'm sorry to say, but can still feel shoulders and tum sore from Sats workout so that's good!

Loving the idea of the daily challenge too Good thinking fairyclicks.

I think that challenge looks good the-mango Thanks for that. Will have to print that list out I think so it's easy to find again!

Plank today then!!

EDIT:
Oh! Explain tricep dips for me just!

So this morning before I left I did 1 min plank, 25 situps, 1 min plank and 60 stomach crunches (first set of situps near killed me!!) 6 pack coming my way!! woohooooooooooooo :rotfl:

Do I get a star for that?!

An hour a day for 2 months with 1 day off a week

Migraine had it's final kick last night - headlights hurt driving home and fell asleep almost as soon as I was in so no gym, no dance, and OH looking after me all night bless him.

Feeling much better today, just the vestiges of a headache, so back on it did a set of pushups, plank and lunges pre-bacon and eggs this morning!
