Need to shift Lockdown Blubber

7 replies

Don't own any scales but have developed a nice roll of jiggly belly fat that I need to get rid of Confused used to swim three times a week and work was physical but that's all stopped but my eating hasn't !
I'm crap at exercise late forties and with what my mother calls a 'sturdy figure' , I walk the dogs twice a day , couldn't start running as I sweat like I've just stepped out of the shower (and don't own a pair of trainers or a sports bra ) what exercises can I do at home (early morning before rest of house gets in the way ) that are simple .. or a YouTube workout ?
Help !

Joe wicks 15 minute hit workout is a bit brutal (for me) but it certainly made me ache

Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred is on YouTube.

I'd invest in trainers and a sports bra if you can though, I'd find most land based exercise without either. I suppose Pilates/yoga could be done without but they aren't typically aerobic exercise.

Right so it needs to be (hard) aerobic exercise to shift it rather than yoga and Pilates type Confused(I thought so , was just in denial ) I'll have a look at Joe and the Shred - I'll need a kind online instructor though a shouty one will just get me sulking - I have a kettlebell thing in my Amazon basket but might have to use tins of beans until then
I was going to cut back on the thick white toast and lurpack/chain tea drinking/sitting around on Mumsnet too
It's always easy to gain it isn't it !!

I’ve been doing Lucy Wyndham-Ford on YouTube, following recommendations on here, and they make me feel better, even if I don’t look it!

It’s the food that will make the difference.

Yeah it's your food intake that's the best thing to concentrate on, rather than doing additional exercise, especially as you're already walking twice a day. I'd track calories and work out what you need to be on to be in a calorie deficit - this James Smith academy calculator is really good based on your present weight, and activity level.
