Hi guys! I hope you all had a wonderful Halloween and enjoyed your awesomely fit bodies by wearing crazy costumes you wouldn't have dared to wear last year.
I personally didn't go to a party but to the restaurant with my man and my family for an awesome cheat meal which was very well deserved since it had been a month since I last indulged in such a treat and since I literally killed my legs on Wednesday. Believe me when I tell you that it hurt yesterday but it hurts even more today (I did workout both days though...I told you: no excuses!) I actually can't sit - it looks more like I'm letting myself fall - or go down the stairs - I seriously wish I had one of my granny's automatic chairs to do that.
I went from this:
To this:
So for those of you who really are after a great burn and a possible awesome future bum I thought I'd share my leg session with you.
A. Plyo Squats (Jump squats)
B. 16kg Pop squats
C. Half burpees (no push ups)
D. Jumping lunges (knee to floor as much as possible)
Do 5 rounds as follows: 1st round = 50/50/15/50
2nd round = 40/40/15/40
3rd round = 30/30/15/30
4th round = 20/20/15/20
5th round = 10/10/15/10
I'm now going to wish you luck, go cook a yummy healthy dinner and I'll speak to you soon! Don't forget to comment and even share the blog if you like it. Thanks a lot for the support and the love guys! Mwah from Robocop!!!
I'm here to share a new workout with you. This one doesn't require any specific items and it really makes you sweat and makes your heart rate shoot up.
This workout is made of 6 moves that you perform for 20sec each and after the circuit (so 20sec*6) you have a 45sec rest. The moves are:
Squats jumps (go down in the squat position and then jump to face the other side of the room)
Lunges (this time you jump to change leg)
Side to side rope jumps
Burpees
Moving push ups
Jack knives
It is very important not to stop moving during your rest and to keep the form right. Do not do crazy or weird moves just to keep going. It will be way more efficient to do each move correctly then to do all of them wrong - plus you might end up hurting yourself more than anything else.
If you're not sure about the moves then go check them out on youtube or on bodybuilding.com
Complete this circuit 5 to 7 times and don't forget to stretch well and drink loads afterwards! I'll speak to you soon!! Don't forget to comment, share etc if you liked the article.
P.S. I don't know if it would be motivating for you guys to see some of my before/after and progress pics. So let me know in the comments section!
I know it's been a while since I last posted something here but since I'm not one to give up that easily or forget my promises here is the first routine I can offer you guys. It doesn't require much - you can even do it with water bottles if you don't have weights at home - and it's not very long but it will get your sweat on and give you that oh so loved burn!
Do each move for 1 minute with 10 seconds rest between each move. Repeat this circuit 4 times with 30 seconds rest between each complete circuit. Just so it gives you some information I burnt between 200 and 250 calories doing this and it lasts around 30 minutes. Have fun!! Newt post and yummy recipe coming soon!
Hi guys!! I'm sorry it's taken me so long to write and put this article together but as you'll get to know me you'll probably realise that I am a complete moron when it comes to computers and new technologies. It thus took me a few days to fully grasp the concept of iMovie -I told you I was a moron! But there we are so I might as well get started and tell you how I went from thin but wobbly to thin AND firm.
Seriously who'd want to look like the one on the left when you can get the results on the right through hard work?!?
I then decided to put myself through hell - yeah I really wanted that - since I had already paid for a gym membership but that never got me very far and moreover it didn't prevent me from ending up fat. So one day while I was very focused on looking for a great fitness programme at before/after pictures I found one that led me to a website called beachbody on which they have loads of programmes but a special one caught my eye: The Insanity 60 days workout -I know what you're thinking: maybe I just felt attracted by the name since I am fairly famous for being a complete nutter. Well you're probably right BUT the problem my friends was that beachbody do not ship to some countries (probably because we're considered retarded by most of the world) like France. But "impossible n'est pas français" so I found a way to get Insanity - eBay - and a few weeks later I got this in the mail:
I was really scared by the packaging but very excited at the same time. You get 13 DVDs, a workout calendar and some nutrition guide I never read because it mentionned counting calories at the very beginning and I can accept going through hell while I workout but not when it comes to cooking.
Insanity is a very intense workout that combines cardio and strength exercises for which you do not need anything but your bodyweight - let me tell you that it is more than enough. It lasts 60 days and you have to workout 6 days a week. For the first month the workouts last about 40/45 mins then there's a recovery week during which you do the same workout for 6 days and then the second month which actually gets harder - even though you think it means you're going to die on the spot- and during which the workouts last about 1h up to 1h30.
I don't really know what else to say apart from the fact that for the first two weeks my body ached all over and I discovered lots of new muscles I didn't even know were there to begin with. I also discovered that I was a fighter since I had absolutely no idea I could push so hard and stand up again when I thought I couldn't move anymore. I also learnt that I love feeling the burn while I workout and being sore the next morning - I told you I was a nutter!
Enough chitchat let's show you some progress pics:
Here's my progress after one month of insanity ( I started eating really clean after that but cleaneating will be the subject of another post).
I went from 56 to 52kg doing insanity and I really got more muscle definition and a firm body.
Now for those of you who'd want to A) check out an insanity workout
B) make fun of my weird faces and grunts when I workout
