As a massive yoyo dieter the weekends normally spell trouble for me, and my body.
The weekends that hold the rubbish weather are even worse, stuck in the house with 2 bored kids, fed up of crafty stuff and painting for the day, don't want to watch telly nor play the xbox/ds, leads to a stressed out mummy and 2 grumpy kids.
With the kids not being at school i also have to find a daily workout that works with the kids, today it was a top to bottom clean of the house, literally.
The way i figure it is if I'm sweating I'm burning some flab!!
By evening I'm craving wine and munchies, this is not good not good at all :(
So what happened???..... when i felt like i was going to lose it i put on some music and did a workout - at 10pm at night..hahaha
So this is just a little input to some of my fav workout songs and some easy workouts you can do in the home at night without the need of much or any equipment!!
Okay so for £1 from home bargains or the pound store you can buy a skipping rope, mine is lethal!! (love you for buying it though Billy x) its wire wrapped plastic and if you miss, boy you get punished for it ;)
Skipping is sooo simple, but a 10 min skipping workout can equal an hour at the gym!! google it if you don't believe me!!
It can be more difficult than it sounds though, to begin with my stamina was 0 - so i could manage 1 min constant skipping MAX.
Now however its 5 mins, still working my way up to the 10 and i know i'll get there.
You can use skipping as a workout on its own, or as a warm up. I did some good old fasioned star jumps and star jumps with a sort of knee lift.
Dont ditch the good old fashioned workouts from long ago, they worked and as a home workout its free and there is so much you can do.
Star jumps, lunges, burpees, step ups, running on the spot (try this full pelt for 30 secs, it aint easy)
Sit ups, press ups.
These all can be done in a small enough area, with no equipment...bargain!!
I like to have my ipod for music, i like it nice and loud, for motivation and also so i cant hear myself dying (heehee)
So for tonight my workout was mainly to Deadmau5 and the album 4x4=12 - this dj is one of my up most favourites for pushing myself to, the "doof doof"music keeps me going, and when skipping its better for me to have an upbeat ...well beat to work too.
For my "kettle bell" workout ( i don't have a kettle bell, so i make do with 1 of Billy's free weights, with some of the lighter weights on) i was playing ACDC yes that's right..haha i love working out with them.
Again if you dont have weights, anything weighty (lol) will do, heck a tin of beans or a bag of sugar would work perfectly.
I kept with the ACDC for my tummy exercises also (mainly sit ups and sit up twists)
Then onto cool down my song for stretching and cooling down today was Domino and Laserlight by Jessie J - now sing along...yes i know what you are going to say, but singing concentrates your breaking getting it into a regular rhythm again...
Make sure you stretch, we all know the old no pain no gain, but trust me if you dont stretch you will regret it.
And that was it - remember!! WATER WATER WATER!! don't let yourself get dehydrated you will only end up feeling dizzy and sh*tty.
Once cool that's me shower jammies and bed... with laptop to update on here :)
as always feel free to comment.. x
