Evening everyone!
I am buzzing!! I finally believe I can do this!!
Had an AWESOME session @ the gym with my personal trainer!! She is fab! Totally understanding, on the same level as me and knows exactly what I want to achieve!!
She's working on weight loss, improving fitness levels and toning up with me. She's leaving my diet alone at the moment as I've told her what I'm "supposed" to be eating whilst taking my Xenical (protein and carbs, and low fat, calorie controlled). She asked how many calories I've been eating and I said around 1500-1600cals - she told me that's good, and she would have to refuse to train me if I was gonna have below 1500cals. So it's nice to know I'm on the right track!
She weighed me and measured me, and is aiming for 2-3lbs a week, every week, to begin with and we've set 2 goals so far:
*Me completing a "body pump" class (the one with aerobic exercise combined with weights) by week 4
*2.5 stone lighter by Christmas.
My workout for the next 2 weeks is:
*Mon, Tues and Thurs nights:
Mon and Thurs nights:
10mins on the cross trainer or bike to warm up, row 200m on the rower in the quickest possible time (quickest tonight was 200m in 1.02secs) 60 seconds rest, then 10mins on the hill level on the cross trainer - keeping the speed above 8.5, 60 seconds rest, row 200m on the rower in the quickest possible time - trying to beat previous times, 60 secs rest, 10mins on the bike trying to go further than 3km in the 10mins, 60 secs rest, 200m on the rower, 60 secs rest. Then weights stations. She's starting working the biggest muscle groups for me for the first 2 weeks, so i'm turning these from fat-to-muscle, coz when i'm building up muscle I'll be burning more fat/cals. So I do this: working pec muscles -3 sets of 12 reps with 3kg weights with a rest inbetween each set. Then work my shoulder muscles on the pull down bar - 3 sets of 12 reps. Then the leg press extender working thighs and calves, 3 sets of 12 reps. Stretches and then a 20min swim and use the hydro-therapy pool to soothe my muscles.
Was red faced and dripping in sweat but I loved it!
Took about an hour for the cardio and weights session.
On a Tues I'll just be doing cardio - rower-bike-cross trainer!
Shattered now! so off to bed!
Speak soon! Keep you updated! I'm going there tomorrow to "practise" my workout and use the pool xx
