what excercise do you do?

[Blondeshavemorefun]

I try and go to the gym 3 times a week

I do a class called body combat - basically an exercise class which is also self defense

and if I am being very good I try and go for a 3 mile walk every other week with my friend - we both push a buggy

I do
dance areobics twice a week
Body pump (aka 'The Crippler') once or twice a week
Sometimes if the suns out I'll go for a gossip walk with a friend.

Also do Power Ball class if I can be bothered to go to the gym at 8.30pm

i used to do body pump - but after i did my back in,physio told me not to go anymore

i like the gossip walk - we do that

I power walk 3 -4 times a week, couple of miles at a time, plis walk on all the school runs.
I also do stretches/weights and tummy excercises at least every other day.
I only started doing this at the end of August, after I saw some bank holiday photos of me.
My body shape is definetly changing and I have lost nearly a stone. At least I had til I got to mums and she has been feeding me up.

you have lost a stone?

well done

yup, in 2 months. I have been drinking lots of water, and being careful what I eat, also cut out alcohol. Although I have been drinking this week cos I am at my mums and need some treats!
I don't want to weigh myself when I get home though, been so bad this week and we have all had heavy colds so I have not been out this week to counter act all the food and drink!

Well done msl. It's the booze that does it for me. If I cut it out then I lose weight.

I run and go to the gym. Usually 4 times a week, and I work hard when I'm there, not fannying about not breaking sweat and then complaining that it's doing no good

Swimming mainly, bit of body pump, walking, roller blading, ice skating and dry-skiing when I can fit it in.

Oh, and horse-riding

In summer I like surfing & sailing.

as applicable

Pilates and a couple of session at the gym on the cross trainer each week.

2-3 gym sessions a week and dance mat class with dc.

normally in a week

body pump
swimming (50 ish lengths)
bums and tums class
spin

I walk about 5 miles a week with the buggy, but this will drop off now that its cold.

Still not losing the baby weight but I eat a lot of carbs!

V. impressed by posts here

Well done mankyscotslass - I managed 7 kilos last year but have been back-sliding since and am trying to get back on track

I try and walk 10,000 steps a day and on top of that do power walking x 3 a week

• agree that cutting out alcohol is essential

Am searching for pilates or yoga class that fits in with other commitments

I just wish there were more family exercise classes available where you could all go together, or at least I could go with my five-year old dd - but you all manage and I only have one child so I am quite obviously just making excuses!!

PAMELAT

i eat a lot of carbs - i lost 4 stone a few years ago, and i had pasta every day for either lunch or tea

so you can lose weight eating pasta- its what you put with it

ie cheese sauce instead of low fat tomarto/garlic etc

Thanks! I agree, the cutting out alchohol definetely is a biggy. I have been so bad this week at mums, all sorts of rubbish, plus some red wine and the occasional beer! Not to mention the chocolate.
So I am starting again on Monday, but I am really reluctant to go near the scales, I know I will have put on at least a couple of pounds because I have not been out walking ot on the school run.
Oh well, target is 9st 3 or 4 before Christmas now.

oh to be 9 stone

oh to be 10 stone

im gen 11 stone but too much naughty stuff on holiday=porky me

need to shift almost a stone

pilates twice a week , salsa aerobics and the occasional bums n tums. i play on the wii fit but tend to spend most time on the yoga!

hi-impact aerobics three times a week, the bare minimum to keep my weight balanced!

Blondes... I used to go to Body pump all the time and loved it...but then I too did my back in about 8 weeks ago and haven't ben back since, although my back is much better - pretty much back to normal. My osteopath says I should be able to go back but I haven't yet as I am still a bit nervous about my back - but I really miss it. Anyone got any advice on this?

moulesfrites

how did you do your back in?

my physio told me not to do pump again as i will end up damaging myself again

i do miss it, was a good exercise and toned me up

i apparently have a slightly weak back, and when it does click out of place always goes in same place - slightly left of the bum crack

i plan to start lifting small weights in gym but not using on pump lift over shoulder bar

does anyone know how many steps a day you should be doing to loose weight? I have just found a pedometer (tidying up a drawer.......). I have a feeling that anything over 2000 steps is considered good? Is this right?

thought it was 10 000

oh bugger............really?! Not surprising I am a bit porky!

blondeshavemorefun, you are right.......just looked it up on the web.....i'm off for a walk...........
