What kind of excersize for the active but unfit and fat???

[PinkChick]

am on the go all day every day as a childminder doing at least 2 school runs(there and back) and on 3 days 3 school runs..plus walks to groups, libraries, softplay, aprk,town and so on..

Started diet/cutting down alst week and have done well, but other than walking what else would help?, i dont get a lots of time i often work till8pm and start 6.30am..but need to do something to help with loss to tone up particulary arms, legs stomache?

Oh I'm with you there as a fellow childminder - trouble is the school run is pretty slow isn't it?! 5 year olds only walk so fast.

Will be watching thread...

Sit ups in the evening for the duration of one song. Get some weights and do arm raises and tricep exercises for the same duration.

Can you do a a plank? Thats a great exercise for toning stomach muscles, its a killer, Google it.

if you did short bursts of these evry single night I bet you'd see a difference in no time.

a plank??....off to google......

I go on my stepper, PC not tonight it is too hot

Plus by using low carb/SW red-type of diet I devised myself I have lost 35lbs since january.

Bloody hell Ju thats fantastic!...i tend to follow sw, but i prefer the green days am ALWAYS hungry on red...but thats amaising!..i have cindy crawford vid and ts fab, but wanted to try something new and effective?..dont have a stepper, would feel a div walking up and downs tairs

V V boring, ooh salad, with chicken, how yummy [sarcastic] but am going to a Posh Wedding next weekend, so had to do something.

Drink loads of water, use a small plate and good luck !

ah so thats why you asked about the tabs the other day!..i never imagined you as being overwieght!..quite tall, slim with glossy dark shoulder lengh hair for some reason????LOL..Youve done a fab job, just hope i can folow suit

plank away!!

ooh that looks good not too much huffing and puffing!, but lots of stamina...i could do one of those each time i get up off floor after changing one of the children..although theyd prob all jump on my back?

Pink if you look at the other Pilates moves on that Youtube link theres some good moves there.

thanks will check it out.........

For my upper body (which is very weak and feeble) my trainer makes me do modified push ups. Put your hands on the edge of the kitchen counter, move your feet a pace back (so that you are leaning forward to keep your hands on the counter). Keep your waist/back and legs straight, and bending your arms go forward until your chest touches the counter, then straighten your arms, let your elbows bend outwards rather than downwards. Do 3 sets of 15. It's a good one to do when you're waiting for the kettle to boil.

Hah ha ha
