Extra Easy Body Magic

[nattynoo22]

Thought i'd start a thread for people to report what body magic they have done and their thoughts and feelings on it. thought it may give people some ideas on what activities to do to help lose weight??

I started slimming world yesterday weighing in at 14st 5 lb :sigh: but im determined to stick at this this time! so after class i did 30 mins swimming lengths managed 22 lengths in total! today i have done 20 mins EA fitness on high level and burt 330 cals! whopee. I've even started parking the furthest away at super markets! saves my car from trolly dents and also my waistline!!

Good thread hun, excellent parking further away and walking, and swimming is an excellent form of excersise. Keep up the good work. Target here you come.

I took up karate/kick boxing as well as my 3 gym sessions a week and random hill walking sessions! It really gets all my frustration out and I'm totally shattered afterwards.

I do a gym session on Saturday morning. I also do various activities with the U3A - line dancing twice a month, a seated exercise class twice a month (sounds lazy, but you'd be surprised!) and we have just started Tai Chi.

Also, when I go to U3A meetings in Reading, or go shopping, I always walk there (about 25 minutes brisk walk at least twice a week) although I do get the bus back if I have anything heavy to carry!

Tai chi is that a bit like yoga? wouldnt mind doing something like that supposed to be really good for you

i do divina the power of three - hard work but excellent results

 

[nattynoo22]

i was debating a fitness dvd it was either divina or the biggest loser 1, i love that program when it was on and can imagine the dvd being the same if anyone has bought it let me know what its like!

davina is excellent, fun but hard work also davina shows its difficult which make it more relaistic. i have thought it great it works on legs + bum, upper body and stomach honestly work it, tones you up (might not lose as much) but your body shape will be more tonned and when you reach your goal at least wont be all lose i have lost 10lb so far and have really noticed a difference in my clothes and the way they fit. I got my dvd off ebay for like 8pound plus p&p well worth the money and never looked back since

 

[nattynoo22]

i could test a fitness dvd each week to see what difference it makes on our weight loss. so this week i will test davinas power of three, 3 times in a week, i get weighed on a thurs so can compare results. I'll get it today!

 

[ilovelife]

ok good luck and report back the results

There are seated exercise routines which might help. Try asking your local authority (or Age Concern if you are older) - in Reading the council and Age Concern are working together to provide exercise opportunities for the over-50s (no idea how old you are - not meaning to be rude!!).

If you Google "seated exercise" (restrict the search to the UK) you will find plenty of information.
