Hey hun I hated exercise till I found that exercise is about what you enjoy doing, so I enjoy playing on my wii so I play tennis and do boxing and hula hooping and then I do zumba and absolutely love Just dance and have all 3 of them, but I do weights too cos without them i'd not tone up...so my stepson has shown me a few moves with kettlebells and hand held weights and they tone me up lovely and only take a few minutes...I do what I want for as long as I want as long as it makes my heart pump and makes me sweat, then the weight drops off, it's all about doing what suits you, now walking is something I struggle with as I have the psoriasis on my feet and because I have a bad back after an accident 15 years ago, but with the wii I can do however much i can do in one go, sit for a minute or 2 and then carry on and so on but my 2 hours session usually takes me about 3 hours cos of the sitting in between lol...but as I was about to say, if I was able to walk I would carry weights in my pockets and stride it out with arms swinging again building up a sweat, but to be honest all you really need to do is 30 minutes exercise that builds a sweat about 5 times a week...I just choose to do more ........hahahaha look at me the almost 20st expert lol ...:hmm: well I was 31 and half stone so guess I am an expert really lol...
Ohhh and good diea about green days to maintain with, that's def something to look forward to
xxx
Oh and I nearly forgot I started kettleworks, dropped a 7.5kg kettlebell on my foot and broke a bone in the side of my foot and never did it again :giggle: lol xxxx
You ARE an expert! You're also right......choosing exercise we like makes all the difference
I forgot about the Wii - I play tennis on that, do the kung foo thing, rythym boxing, jogging on the spot thing.....I do work a sweat up! lol Thing is I don't have much spare time during the week so the Wii waits until the weekend. My 2 long walks (1 hour each) with the dogs are brisk walks and I do get out of puff - we go up hills and stuff.... AND Millie, my smallest dog often goes on strike on the way back - she sits down and refuses to walk one step more cos she's buggered! lol So, technically, I'm doing weights by carrying her the rest of the way back!! :8855: She only weighs about 15lb, but I'm counting it! :giggle:
Anyway, after all that blethering, what I meant to say is........I think I'll enjoy kettle work, so have decided to buy some and maybe a DVD to teach me some useful moves?
lol
What weight weighs (lol) do you think I should get?
your diary has just given me a good giggle
i actually forgot to weigh myself this week too
a couple of months ago i was never off the scales and this week i forgot
so glad its not just me
be warned Lily is responsible for my sudden enjoyment of exercise, so i have gone from none to at least 10 hours a week
3 gym sessions a week, walking at least a mile a day some zumba and wii sessions and i actually asked for a kettle bell for christmas
she has powers you know:vibes:, you have been warned:giggle::giggle::giggle:
This whole forum gives me a good :giggle: on a daily basis Mandy. I've even been known to spit my drink out laughing
lol
0 - 10 hours exercise
:wow: That Lily certainly worked her magic on you! lol
Ahhhh you have kettlebells
I'm gonna get some! I've just been looking online, but an confused by all the different weights! How heavy are yours Mandy? Hey, there's nothing wrong with asking for some for xmas either. Pratical presents - especially the ones that save us money, are fab!
I've been known to ask for........a hammer drill in the past
along with a host of other DIY blokey stuff
At least your kettlebell request wasn't blokey!! :8855:
You made me laugh with your reference to a kettle bell as I've just been on amazon looking at kettlebell workouts and on youtube looking at how the exercise is done................thinking of investing myself...........I already do zumba and love it.
she has a lot to answer to that Lily...........................in a good way I hasten to add xxxxx
Ahhhhh that's what I should do! Look on Youtube! :8855:
