Grab Your Tuna!

I'm such a numpty... I thought I'd got a dodgy DVD or something because I didn't have half of the workouts you've all been doing! Didn't notice the "next" button at the bottom of the screen :o

I had to give my legs a break yesterday as the backs of my thighs and above my knees were absolutely killing me even to walk. Don't know if I'd done something wrong? I watched the tutorial as I found the lunges really awkward but I think I got it pretty close. Either that or I'm a total wuss!

Today I'm going to do Warm up, Tone & Sculpt and Total Stretch. Then I'll collapse in sweaty, painful heap I imagine :o

Just finished warm up, UF Burner, Fitness challenge, U abs and some stretch. I'm much more flexible around the hip/hamstring area.

Well done, Bags. It will get easier.

Warm up, ultimate legs & box fit done today. Feeling good.

I'll definitely be keeping at it, just need to build on the momentum every week or so but the 10 minutes will do me for now.

I bought myself a pair of proper workout 3/4 joggers (size 16!) and a workout top (size 14!) today along with a yoga mat so I'm all set. I look like a pack of sausages but heyho I was an XXL man the last time I bought joggers :o

I did the warm up and fat burner again today whilst DD napped, don't feel quite so jelly-ish.

shitebag as Amazon said, keep at it, you will very soon see the difference. Just make sure you do the stretch section to reduce the aching feeling.

A bit late posting, but this morning I did, warm up, 2 x UF burner, tone and burn and some stretch. 8 weeks until my holiday and i'm hoping to get 4 - 5lb off. I've told DH to tell me off when I'm mindlessly snacking on an evening.

Bags, keep at it, it will get easier. Even doing one session a day, honestly. When I first did my leg session my thighs killed me, they're now used to it.

Well done, keep coming back on here and sharing what you've done. It's a great motivator having others to share it with too.

Holy mother of god!

I only managed the warm up and the fat burner and my legs are like jelly, I'm out if breath and getting a slight sweat on! How the hell do you lot manage?!

I must admit I'm a bit un-cordinated and nearly fell over more than once doing those bloody low lunges :o

Nipers, this DVD Davina 7 minute fit! The leg session has started to tone my bottom especially, thighs are coming on slowly.

Today I've managed warm up, box fit and 40 lunges again. I'm kicking ass at those lunges now, I was a wobbly mess when I first started this journey as far as lunges were concerned! Love it!

hi, i am a first time poster in the exercise topic (long time mnetter tho!), and am after a bit of advice really. i don't specifically exercise but would like to firm up my middle region (tum, bum and top of thighs), can anyone recommend things to do at home, dvd or website with exercises on to try?

Back on my exercise bike this morning!

Ps forgot to say that I still really struggle with sit ups, crunches and press ups!

Hi everyone, I've been dipping in and out of this thread since the beginning, you're all helping me with my motivation so thanks to you all!
I've been Davina'ing 2/3 times a week. It does wonders for my mood as well as my body!
At the beginning I posted about my bum and lower back wobbling about, I was worried that I'd end up with my backside hanging down to my ankles! But yesterday I realised that I had no rear end jiggle anymore!
I've cut out crap food, and lost a stone woo hoo ??
Hopefully it's onwards and downwards for me and everyone else here

Welcome to shitebag. As the others have said, start with one section as well as the warmup and stretch and build yourself up from there. I don't do any of the specific leg sections because I cycle too and from work 4 days a week, so my legs get get a good enough workout already.

I had a break yesterday just to make sure I didn't over do myself with being grotty at the beginning of the week.

Today I did, warm up, fat burner, fitness challenge, abs and some stretch.

peace well done on the weight loss, I too wish I could lose 2lb per week, although ive only fot 2lb to go to take me back to a bmi of 25 and 6lb to get to my target weight. My eating is really good for a week or so then it goes abit awry. Its 8 weeks until my holiday and I'm really trying my best.

I've got some new exercise leggings from Tesco for £8 because my others fall down when I do the jogging bits, ive now got an exercise muffin top like I had 10 weeks or so ago when I started the dvd, but the difference is a size smaller leggings, so its not a bad thing. I don't know if im just destined to have some loose skin. I was very overweight in my twenties and lost 4 st, and then I was massive in my pregnancy, and lost the weight again, so I don't know if my 40 yr old skin just aint up to it anymore .

Anyway, my leggings look all jazzy (patterned) and I feel much better for doing it, so even if I have some loose skin, at least I know I'm more flexible and physically fit and strong.

And box fit tones shoulders, waist, bum and thighs. It's a great little all rounder.

*you're

Hello all!

Just managed to do warm up, box fit and 40 leg lunges last night (20 on each leg) Legs are feeling great, less sluggish.

Shitebag (I'm sure your not ) I focussed on the sessions which dealt with my problem areas. I only started with one session and just built up from there really. Always start with the warm up and then see where it takes you. I wanted to tone my bum and thighs more initially so I focussed on the leg session, then a few weeks later added another session. Box fit is a great workout, one of my favourites, gets your heart racing. It's addictive once you start and having this thread to come back to is an extra incentive.

Enjoy!

Yes baggy (hope you don't mind me calling you that!) starting with one section, getting all the timing and form right and keeping thatbup 6/7 days is a great way to start. Add a bit more as you feel like it. A little bit every day for months (years...the rest of your life, really) is the trick. A tiny adjustment is all it takes, repeated until it is a routine.

Hi everyone, after finding this thread I decided to order the DVD and it arrived today! I'm blitzing the house today so won't get a chance to watch/do it until this evening but looking forward to it.

I'm 3 stone overweight just now and do a lot of walking but fitness levels are hardly sky high so would you advise just starting out with one section and building it up?

Strangely excited by the prospect of something new :o

Well done everyone! I have cut back a bit on the exercise because I am losing 2lb a week.in weight on average and now eating a lot more than I used to (healthy breakfast, lunch with a pudding and a good dinner). Not feeling quite as strong as Iwas either, but that could be because I've been through the wringer just lately!

Hope all going well with lurkers and infrequent visitors.

Have not been on exercise bike for a few days but trying to walk to the office instead of getting the bus.

Good on you Velma for keeping the morning club going!

I've been slacking in the morning. Ds has this horrible tickly cough and for the past two weeks I've been up through the night with his inhaler so I'm bloody knackered, doesn't help that I'm going to bed at silly o'clock though!

Hope to do a session tonight.

Well done amazon

I didn't do anything yesterday I felt just a bit off and generally weak /unwell. I left work early and had an hours sleep, I then slept relatively ok last night with a 15 minute lie in, so I thought I'd have a go at something this morning.

I ended up doing warm up, box fit, fitness challenge and some stretch. Admittedly I wasn't as enthusiastic as I normally am, but at least i did something.

Hello all

Forgot to check in yesterday but I did do warm up, box fit & ultimate legs. Dp joined me for some of the ultimate legs but didn't finish because of his knee, he tells me his inner thighs are hurting today, this is from someone who uses weights regularly in the 'shed of dread'. Me, well no pain, just feeling more toned.

Just done warm up, box fit and 30 leg lunges, off to shower and get something to eat, it's been a busy day at work. Might get chance to start doing workouts again in the morning.

Warm up, fat burner, box fit, and 3/4 tone and burn done.

I didn't finish tone and burn and I didn't do any stretch because I started to feel really dizzy and really hot. I donated blood yeasterday so I don't know if that has any bearing on it? I ate well after donating and didn't exert myself so I'm not sure.

Anyway, I feel matally better for doing it and I will have another go tomorrow.
