Re: fight the flab
I've got a bad lower back bish so I've always avoided sit ups!thebish wrote:oooof - day one out of the way... it all looks fairly innocuous - but it's not! I'm gonna feel that tomorrow!!
all four exercises, 10reps per exercise, three sets - 90secs rest in between exercises...
I think the side-lunges stretched muscles I don't often stretch or use!!! I think I might alternate - aerobics on monday/wednesday/Friday and body-strength on Tuesdays/Thursdays/Saturdays - and Sundays off!
also - I abandoned the abs-machine and did the sit-ups sans-equipment... I discovered I can't do sit-ups with legs bent - but I can with legs straight... can't work out why, I assumed they might be easier with legs bent! shows how much I know!!
If you still want that range of motion, lie flat on the floor, roll up a small towel, put it under the small of your back, put your palms flat on the floor and slowly raise your legs up and down.
If that gets to easy, then try and pick something up between your feet while you do it. A bottle of water is great for this!
What a hero, What a man...... Ooooh, what a bad foul...

It's only a LAN cable, Hoboh. I thought H&S Nazi's would be at the top of your list, Mate.

Re: fight the flab
hmmmmm... weigh-day reveals that the festive damage is a 5lb gain!
I guess that will be the mahoosive quantities of cheese and rich christmas cake washed down with wine and accompanied by buckets of party buffet food and chocolate!
back in the saddle today - off out for a walk in the moors to blow away some of those cobwebs and burn off some of that new flab...

Haven't any of the usual Christmas fayre around the house, apart from a solitary box of mince pies. Otherwise I'd have stuffed my face and needed bigger pants probablythebish wrote:good job!!Abdoulaye's Twin wrote:According to my scales last night I've lost half a kilo this Christmas

Re: fight the flab
The Monday morning weigh-in reveals a Christmas week 1 lb gain for me. I was expecting worse, to be honest. Right. Off out for a frosty run then!

Re: fight the flab
Since it's the last day before resolutions, today I have been mostly scoffing Warby's toastie smothered in Lurpak. Umpteen slices of it too with accompanying brew and I've just polished off a fresh pork pie off Bury market .
Fruit & exercise back on the menu tomorrow

Re: fight the flab
After the seasonal blip, back on track with 3 lbs lost this week. That's 38.7lbs lost overall, apparently.

blimey Bruce - you've eclipsed me! that's heading pretty close to 3stone!Bruce Rioja wrote:After the seasonal blip, back on track with 3 lbs lost this week. That's 38.7lbs lost overall, apparently.
I've been off the wagon for three weeks now - we've had a very busy christmas and new year with endless guests coming and going - all of them seemingly determined to ply me with chocolate... Having boxes of chocolate lying around and a huge awesome christmas cake on the kitchen table whispering "eat me" is all it takes for me to crack (oh - and cheese - lots of cheese still in the fridge from Christmas!!) I've added about 3lbs over the three weeks - I suppose it could have been worse - I was certainly expecting to to be worse - I am still under 12st which was my original target...
what i'd like to do is get down to just below 11 and a half stone and then fluctuate a pound or two around 11.5stone with 11.5st as the fulcrum rather than with 12st as the fulcrum!
it's monday - the last guest has gone (a lad from Austria who bought armsfull of Austrian chocolate goods!) - and I'm back in the saddle!

Re: fight the flab
I was pleasantly surprised to see that i've managed to keep off 6 of the pounds that I lost last August/September time. I had deliberately avoided getting back onto the scales for fear of the truth. Turns out my fears were unfounded! I'm going to have some more biscuits to celebrate!
