Fat Kettle Belle

Today my routine was knocked out and instead of doing kettle bells as planned in my morning slot, I ended up doing weight training in the afternoon. I upped the weight from my little 3kg dumbbells to 4kg. After 8 bicep curls I thought I'd made a mistake as I really struggled. However, I told myself to stop being a big girl, carried on and eventually managed to do 12 reps and 3 sets of each exercise: 12 x 3 Bicep Curls 12 x 3 Dumbbell Bench Press (but I lie on the floor) 12 x 3 Hammer Curl 12 x 3 Shoulder Shrug 12 x 3 Calf Raise 50 Sit Ups on Abs Machine with bands 60 Leg Raises on Abs Machine 1 Long Stretch on Abs Machine I was convinced that the dumbbells were more than 4kg so I weighed them on the scales and they came out at 5.08kg so basically the bar is just over a kg. I can do this! Image Credit: Pixabay : AGuen

Fat Loss Not Weight Loss Notice I have changed my wording. This is to keep me motivated (which today I am not). I have put on 1lb, I think this was probably my Sunday dinner yesterday. But I am hopeful that muscle weighs more than fat and this 1lb is muscle. Who am I kidding? 😂 I am really not motivated today. I feel so tired. I did not sleep well. So, before my workout I looked for some inspirational images to get me going. My workout today was weight training and trying out my abs machine (more on that later). I have only targeted body areas that I don't think are covered fully in my Kettle Bell Workout or where I would like more improvement. This is personal to me and also depends on my own physical ability. My Beginners Weight Training Program 15 reps, 3 sets, 30 minutes with little stops in-between.

Planning and Week One I haven't changed one bit. I have decided to do this at home. No gym fees and cheaper. I already have some dumbbells that my partner bought me (well over 10 years ago and never used). They are 3lb each in weight. After researching on the internet I found an overall exercise plan that covered all the major muscle groups. A total workout plan. Actually, I did this exercise on the floor. I also ordered an Abs Warrior machine using my Christmas vouchers. My decision was to tone up my core area without having to lie down on the floor. I find this really uncomfortable, can't really do them and it strains my neck. I am hoping the Abs Warrior machine will support my back and give me some resistance to get me back up again. I also bought it to do leg curls and also there seems to be a nice stretch that it does. Anything else, I'm not really interested in. (Cost £30 sale) I did a couple of days using the total workout plan with my dumbbells and foun...

New Year and New Me Seriously? I'm not uploading a picture of me yet. So basically, this is a blog about body transformation. I'm hoping it will keep me inspired to carry on and also, I couldn't find what I needed on the internet for an average person like me. I am not a fitness fanatic. I have tried loads of forms of aerobic type exercises and have stuck to none of them. I have joined classes and dropped out. I have bought loads of home gym machines (and sold them again). I have bought fat loss tablets and patches. I have even bought an electrical device that freezes fat that is also sitting in a box under my bed. The list goes on. I am pre-menopausal, have dodgy knees, a dodgy ankle, a dodgy shoulder, a dodgy hip, low blood pressure and IBS, BUT, I have a little determination and will try to find an easy way to shed pounds that doesn't cost the earth, take loads of time and stops me from enjoying the foods I like. Really? Does this even exist? I really hope so ...
