I've had a real busy couple of days, and I haven't been to the gym shamelessly in the last 2 days, which is why I've come up with an exercise routine which I can do at home for those rest days and those days that are too busy to fit into my day. It does happen sometimes and in my eyes there is very little point in feeling bad about it, that is the easiest way to a downward spiral.
So my friend told me about a fitness lady who runs the BBG programme, Kayla. The home workouts she promotes are 28 minutes long: 7 minutes of constant excersise, minute break then onto the next routine. So I've formulated 2 routines:
1. Bums
- 20 squats
- 20 pulse squats
- 10 pulse ski squats
- 10 ski squats
- 10 high kick squats
2. Abs
- 40 bicycle crunches
- 20 heel taps
- 10 roll ups
- 20 v-ups
I've downloaded an app, which has the stop watch running for 7 minutes, and then starts again and it allows me to track which days I've done the routines etc. The bottom half routine allows me to go through the routine 3 times with about 50 seconds to go, and due to my irritable OCD I can't bring myself to start again and not finish, so I do arm circles to finish, which totally kills, but as I haven't set an arm routine yet I like adding a little arms in there. The abs workout allows me to complete it 4 times and again with the remanding 40 seconds I do some more arm circles. Each routine is done 2x to make a 28 minute workout and honestly, I sometimes get more sweaty than when I'm at the gym.
Anyway, I'm going out for dinner tonight, it's my boyfriends, Dads, birthday and we are going to Pea Porridge, a fine dining restaurant. I have been a little apprehensive as I've done so well for my first week but you have to enjoy yourself in order to keep up the motivation and keep that goal in sight! I know I'm going to have 3 course and wine, but it's ok because I think I've earnt it!
