Hello chiefs! Just wanted to say - I spent quite a bit of time at the weekend arduously trawling through youtube for workout clips etc, seems the Shred and something called 'Insanity' are the well known go to's for shaping up.
That's cool, but I have noticed that most of the moves in these workouts are basic, old school, high impact aerobics with some toning work added in. I get a full hour of this by doing Body Attack at the gym - and the motivation is done for me, as there's a huge mirror, very loud music, and a fit bird shouting at us to go harder and faster!
I totally get why people (especially mothers of small kids) want to work out at home - there are a million reasons why a gym is not possible or desirable. But if you have the option and you fancy it - do gym classes. I push myself so much further in a class than I would if I was at home.
Body Attack burns up to about 800 calories I think, and leaves me a broken woman every time.
Oh and the pound shop have got Ryvita multigrain, only 40 cals a slice and deeeelicious.
I've got a stone to lose for health, and ideally a further half a stone for vanity. This year is the year. Oh yes!
