Obviously want to keep you all up to date on my health and fitness progress and I am happy to announce I worked out 4 times this week and ate very healthily (minus one dinner out for a friends birthday... and a brownie I just had for lunch!) You have to reward yourselves sometimes in order to keep your diet sustainable otherwise when you go back to regular food you'll just instantly pile on the pounds!
My usual gym routine is fast paced walking on the treadmill on a high incline (makes your butt really feel the burn) for 40 mins, which for me is about 400 calories. I then go on the cross trainer for another 20-25 mins, which is another 200 calories. I am also getting to terms with the fact that if I want to raise my metabolism and burn more calories I need to use the weights too. My favorite is the thigh adductor machine which really works your inner/outer thighs, which I desperately need help with because "hello cellulite central!"
My next challenge will be working out my arms. I am always jealous of those women who have incredible arms (not saying I want muscle mania arms, but Michelle Obama's will do!)
I found the below to be quite helpful/interesting and in order to find the full work out plans here's the link > http://www.womenshealthmag.com/fitness/best-workout-for-your-body-type
