Had a bit of a naughty day again yday .. That's two days this week ... Oh gawd ... Back on the wagon today x
Waiting fir new washing machine to arrive and then I can get sine exercise done x
Not a lot of steps yday . Just 2000... A very lazy day. Having this fitbit really makes me aware of what I'm doing .. Or not doing as the case is lol

I understand about the fitbit. I always try for 5000 steps a day as that is half that the dietitian suggests for every day. I normally go out for a short walk or jog just to get my numbers up. I did my 27min jog yesterday then gym today. I find if I don't do a little every day I skip more then one day.

Thanks lol. I almost couldn't believe I lasted that long. I've always sucked at running even as a kid. Asthma always 'held me back' so I always got to sit out. At least this means while in America I don't need a gym membership I can jog and maybe buy some weights or make some for strength. Fun fun

Exactly. I was thinking of joining a marathon but not sure I could manage a half. Maybe next year.

Will defiantly look at weights in the US. I probably get what ever my lifting power is right before I go. I'm using mainly 4kg and 5kg for all my arm stuff. I can squat 30kg but I will just have to make do with squats. Now to look for weights hehe

Bloody Nora it looks like just to get 4 barbells that I'll have to fork out over 100 USD hmmm may need to rethink this plan.

I try to up my lifting on bar bells a kg a week so I keep gaining strength not just maintaining. Therrs lots of good programs out there but I find them daunting as they alway from the male perspective.

Well I did 7.5lb (3.5kg I think) on each side of barbell ... 3 sets of 15 reps of 6 different lifts .. Was a tad easy so at weekend ill go up to 10lbs (4.5kg) each side x thought I'd start lighter. X really loved it x

I love lifting don't forget to count the weight of your bar. If hollow its it will only be 2-5kg where if its Olympic standered (solid) it will be 20kg alone

Think my bar is hollow ..!!
I was just looking at a band ... For exercising .. Was thinking of you travelling .. You can get a good workout using one of those .. Your muscle fibres don't know whether its a barbells or a band .. nd you can perfect a routine .. Loads on line before yo go ..!! It's inexpensive and can travel x just a thought x

I'm actually feeling that I haven't done much now in terms of lifting ... Should have gone heavier .. Feel like all o have done is a warm up x

Don't worry just add weight as you go. If you go too heavy to quick you can hurt yourself. I'll look into the resistance band thanks hun.

 

[huwiesmummy]

Maybe this. It weighs just below 2kg for the package I may not take all of it too. Mmm nice to have at home too instead of weights what do you think me dear?

Haha I've had one snap once ouch! I'd rather but one that will last for awhile and gives me a work out that's as good as a gym (plus does more then those barbells plus cheaper)

What I hate is that in America the exact product is so much cheaper just because of the exchange rate
