How to work out regularly by chicki_deee

How I did it: I'd been attempting to do this for quite a while. The best I could manage to do was once or twice a week. I never really got into it, and it always felt like a chore.

Then this year I decided to lose weight, and exercise harder too, and although it was still a struggle, once I got used to doing some really difficult classes it all fell into place. I also found that having friends to go with also helped a lot.

I go now mostly on my own, and even get antsy when I miss a session. I'm regularly there three times a week, sometimes four.

Lessons & tips:

  • It's great if you can find friends to go with when you first start out.
  • Always keep in mind the reason why you're doing it. Because you think you should isn't good enough; give yourself a solid reason, which can be your target to work towards.
  • Eat well as well as exercise. If you're eating well, you're more inclined to do exercise as well, because you're putting yourself in the "be healthy" mentality.

Resources: Horley's Sculpt Protein drink. I'm still having it for breakfast, which was a struggle for the first few weeks, but now I don't like starting a day without it.

    onegirliknow is ready to start the next thing...

    Untitled 4 weeks ago

    The current schedule is:

    Monday/Wednesday: swimming
    Tuesday/Thursday: running

    My best friend and I decided to start working out together over the summer. I love to run but hate swimming, she loves to swim but hates running, so we’re doing a tradeoff. I’m kind of excited!

    I am in great shape BMI wise but i do want to get into the habit of this so as to make my bones stronger for the feature and reduce my chance of developing osteoporosis and other ailments that could have been suppressed by regular exercise

    Results of week one! 5 months ago

    It’s hard to believe it’s already been a week. I’m glad I stuck with it for this long. I’m so proud of myself. Now for the exciting news!

    Lost 3-5 pounds
    Lost 2 inches off hips
    Lost 1 inch off waist
    Lost 3 inches off thigh
    And 1 inch off upper arm.

    Yay! I’m so glad I didn’t give in to all those cravings for ice cream and chocolate. I’m very proud of myself and I’m so thrilled that all this happened in just ONE week! I can’t wait to see the results of next week!

    I meant to go more often this week, but family obligations kept popping up, which i do consider to be more important. also, it was finals week so school had to take the front seat on that one too. but now all my finals are over, and im spending some good quality time with the treadmill and free weights this afternoon =)

    Got back on track! 6 months ago

    As I said a few days ago, I gave in to a massive craving for some cookie cake. Well I decided it was just one day, one little slip up, and I shouldn’t let it faze me. So I’m back to my regular routine!

    I worked out for a half hour today and continued my eating healthy plan. It feels good to be back on the ball again
