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!

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

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

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 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!

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!

Di had some how managed to convince me that RPM was a great form of exercise, so I trusted her and booked in after Body Jam. Sunday mornings are tough, not only do I have to wake up, but I also have to go work out. Sunday Morning Body Jam is usually pretty full too, so doing backwards barrell turns are usually a no no for me. Causing people injury by barrell turn isnt something I wish to do. Anyway, more new bopping tunes from Di, and it was time to prepare for RPM.

Crapping my pants really does not come close! Di helped me out with my bike settings and was really good, as she could see I had not been anywhere near a bike for a good few years! The hour was intense, much water and towel dabbing were required as you really work it. But BOY OH BOY does it hurt your ass! Talk about bruising! It felt like I had been kicked up the backside b a size 20 steel boot! Sitting down became quite sore! I can see how RPM would work for you, but I just could not get comfortable, and yes, I know that is the point! I will give RPM another go, once I can sit down properly again!
