Wow littlemiss...thats a lot! How do you fit it all in? I work 4 days a week and have dd on the other day, plus have a three hours commute at least 3 days a week so struggle to fit it in what I do.

bloody hell littlemiss. Are you Madonna?
Aren't you meant to have rest days?

i do have rest days, usually do 2 or 3 classes back to back. wish i had nmadonnas bod! still a 12 virgin has a creche that you pay 12 per month for, they get 2 hours per day, so ds 1 and 2 go in there 3 times per week. other times go at night, take turns with hubby.
feel more toned but havnt lost much weight, but body sahpe has changed.

can you take my body down there please? I don't have either time or money being a carer n all but if you could pop my tummy along that would be great

needmorecoffee you can do tummy exercises at home

the worst two to do,and seem to be the best for tummys are

plank - lie on tummy, then step up on toes and on forearms and hold tummy in - try and hold in that posistion for 30 secs then increae to aminute

tip toe - lay on bank,lift legs up, knees bent and hold tummy in and tap toes down alturnity(sp)

it seems easy but you can really feel it work your tummy muscles

I do bugger all actual exercise - but I do walk the dog every day for 2 - 3 hours, which keeps me generally sort of fit. I lost 5 kilos over about 6 months just doing this and not changing anything else ie what I eat (which is rather a lot - plus I love baking too). I'm about 2 kilos off what my ideal weight would be, but I can live with that!

Hate, hate, HATE sports of any kind and would rather cut off right arm than join a gym However, I think I'd enjoy doing something like yoga or pilates, but really don't know much about either...

bloody hell 2/3 hrs walking a day
