Measurements and wobbly bits!

So here it is as promised… A blog (literally) bearing all! I am putting my measurements out there along with a few photos to give me the incentive to finish the programme!

I am on day 3 so far and there are two words that could probably sum up the last couple of days. HARD & SORE. The workouts are extreme (yes, I know it says it on the tin!) Day 1 saw us taking on ‘Cross Core Combat.’ 45 minutes worth of kicks, punches, rolls, planks (a lot of planks!) and exercises with the resistance bands. It was hard and it was a shock. Afterwards, I thought I would feel great but I actually felt like I just wanted to cry. What had I taken on? A couple of hours afterwards though I felt good about myself and wished that I had tried harder (although I was convinced I absolutely could not at the time!) There were a couple of exercises that I didn’t do towards the end as we worked out on the carpet due to forgetting to pick up exercise mats the day before. The only thing you get from exercising on the carpet are burns! During the workout, the Boyfriend had to shout at me a few times and pull me up off the floor once too – I swore at him in return!

Day 2 saw us doing a mammoth 70 minute work out. I could have sworn that it only said 45 minutes a day on the advert? We did 55 minutes of ‘Strength & Force Upper’ and then 15 minutes of ‘Ultimate Abs.’The workouts were made harder by the fact that under my arms and all down my sides ached so much from the day before. Once we got going though, time seemed to go so fast. There were a lot of push ups this time and a lot of work on the resistance bands (you MUST wear trainers as I didn’t and have a blister now from the bands.) On a positive note though, we picked up the exercise mats so no more carpet burns. I only managed girly press ups on my knees but hopefully I will be doing full on manly ones by the time we finish!  After the workout, I felt great and felt even better when I filled up on a post workout smoothie of Chocolate Soya Milk, Peanut Butter and a Banana (something I found on Pinterest – I knew it would come in handy!)

Today, we have ‘Plyo XT’ and then I am off to play netball (I must be mad!)  I had a cheeky little weigh in this morning…. I know I shouldn’t have, but I have lost 2lbs in 2 days so something must be working!

Anyway, I digress… Here are the measurements and some (pretty awful!) photos of me before we started the workout. I would like to point out the shorts are too small for me. I am hoping by day 90 both me and the Boyfriend will fit into them… at the same time!!

 

Until next time…
