Week Two

Week two has been interesting and annoying. Monday: W2 legs and cardio: was quite happy with this got through each circuit 1 and 1/2 times. Tuesday: swim interval training Wednesday: ended up going up north with work and didn't come home till late on Friday evening. So that was rather annoying. While there we did approximately between 8-10 mile orienteering team building thing. Up and down stupid hills in 23C heat. I'm telling you now, was fun at the time and my body has not stopped aching all day today. Therefore I've decided I'm gonna re-do week 2 next week. Think that is the fairest and best thing. I want to do this properly. Hopefully no more long work trips get in the way for the next 11 weeks.

Week One

Sorry I haven’t written…. Been super busy

So I did W1 Monday nights legs and cardio and this is what happened….

Circuit 1 completed in 3mins. Circuit 2 completed in 3mins. Session 2 of both circuits repeated in 3mins each. I completed the 28 minute routine in 12minutes!!

I said my fitness had gone up!

Realised that this might happened with the other days workout and spoke to my trainer about what I should do instead. We agreed do the circuit 1… And then repeat it as many times as possible in 7 minutes. Therefore I will do 28 minutes but just intensify it for me.

Tuesday: Zumba Wednesday: resistance training with my trainer.

Thursday: Wednesday W1 arms and abs: it was horrific. I didn’t realise how weak my abs were and how much my arms struggled. However got through each circuit 1 and ½ times. Pretty chuffed at that.

Not gonna lie I sweated like a b!tch.

Friday: Friday W1 full body: my abs still hurt from the day before’s session that this was a struggle. But I got through each circuit twice. Happy with that too.

All in all W1 wasn’t too bad.

I may have an issue on week 2 but I'll work it out I'll try and post twice a week. Pictures soon to follow

Bikini Body Guide

Hi all, Welcome to my BBG account! So to give you some background I have never been small. All of my fat is stored around my middle and has been since I was 11. I'm between a 10/12 dress size with average sized boobs, a bum and a flabby tummy. I hate it. My exercise history consists of ballet when I was little but by the time I hit 11 years old I gave up. In 2011 I gave the Duran diet a go and I actually lost a fair amount of weight. However 8 months later I piled all the weight back on and realised that the diet and lack of energy was not a sustainable lifestyle at all. Since then my habits towards exercise have completely changed. I now actually enjoy exercise! In an average week I probably exercise between 3/4 times which will make 3 hours. On a Tuesday I go to Zumba, Thursday I have a personal trainer where we do cardio and resistance training and then the rest of the time I'll either swim or go on the stationary bike. Since this has happened my fitness levels are beyond better than I ever imagined. However I am just not toning the places on my body I want to. Weight isn't an issue I simply want to reshape my body. I came across BBG after following a fitness Instagram account called 'Kayla Itsines'. Then watching body transformation after body transformation roll into her account I felt inspired to give something else a go. The BBG challenge to shock my body and routine into intense and yet simplified exercises. And so I started today....
