Day 36 – Body Vive

I skipped Wednesdays classes due to excessive butt pain! ;)

Thursdays Body Vive was once again awesome. Di changed some of the routines around so a few of us went a little wrong, expecting to do the regular moves! Pesky Di! It was a good workout and I felt pumped ready for my first attempt at the treadmills!

I had intended to run on the treadmills however my self confidence got the better of me and I just could not build up the courage to actually run.
So instead I did a 35 minute walk covering 2.01 miles, av speed 3.6mph.
Then I thought it was best to get home. I enjoyed the walk but was really kicking myself that I didnt run! Stupid head!



The Gym Experiment 2

For my next experiment, I’m upping my game once more! I’ll never have time to eat/sleep at this rate but it is all for a good cause – returning to skinnyness!

So what will I be doing? I have decided to start *actually* using the gym, rather than just the classes, so ontop of my regular 10 classes a week, I will be doing some gym work. Bring on the treadmills!



The Gym Experiment – Week 4 Results

Here are the final results! I’m impressed, I think! It’s been tough! On to the next experiement…

Results Compared to week 3

Upper Arm (cm) – Same
Under Bust (cm) – -2cm
Bust (cm) – Same
Waist (cm) – -1cm
Hips (cm) – -Same
Thigh (cm) – Same
Calf (cm) – -1cm

I had expected less change as I haven’t been to the gym much this week! Added bonus!

Total Difference
Weight (kg) – -2kg
Upper Arm (cm) – -3cm
Under Bust (cm) – -5cm
Bust (cm) – Same

Just to be scientific, the measurements were taken with the same tape measure, in the same places on my body, and I used the same weighing scales (although I’m convinced they are broken!)

Day 35 – Aqua and Jam

Day 35 and yes, still sore from RPM, but I gave aqua a good go!

I arrived a little early so managed to catch 10 minutes in the sauna before heading into the pool, which due to sitting in the HEAT for 10 mins now felt F F F Freezing! Doh! I do that every time! Aqua was good, I gave it some welly! Due to my natural buoyancy it makes Aqua quite easy in some cases, but quite hard too. I’m very floaty so when trying to push weights underwater I can end up with my arse in the air, all very amusing to onlookers I’m sure!

Then up to Jam for some more sexy hip wiggling dance moves! My hips got a work out tonight!



Day 34 – Pump And Combat

My ass was still killing from the day before and the evil bike ass killing RPM machines. But I was brave and decided to head to my usual Monday combination of Pump and Combat. Pump was bad enough as I couldn’t squat or lunge properly due to the immense pain in my arse! I managed to struggle through before heading into Combat.

Well, it’s bloody typical isn’t it. My arse is throbbing and Di decides to do a load of arse tracks! Cheers Di! I can’t describe the sensations I felt, it was interesting to say the least! After 2 hours of hard work out I was feeling pumped and ready to sleep!
