Ooh exercise : just getting ready to go to cavewoman training...god help me only done it the once a couple weeks back but couldn't walk for 2 days after. Loved it thou and wanted to go again but came down with this sickness bug that has had me feeling nauseous for weeks so this is the first time back. Planning on aerobics tomorrow and another session at the cave on Thursday. And as my loving husband has finally got around to fixing our shower tonight once it's dried and waterproof on Wednesday I can then start my Ripped DVD in the mornings before work etc

Hey
Cavewoman training is a 30 minute circuit exercise (although last night they kept going for 50mins I thought I was going to die haha) but u do stuff like lunges, crunches, and swats but with things like a 5kg bag of sand that u have to lift up and over your head or the one I struggled with was this metal frame with x2 20kg weights on that u had to push the length of the room which wasn't bad when it was waist Height but on the way back it u have to hold on at calf height...I couldn't push it haha it's a major far burned and claim that u can lose 500-700kcal on one session depending on how far u push yourself.
Thanks skrimpy back on it today and will have a good week.
Thank you all about the cupcakes they were delicious. The mother of my goddaughter asked me to make cupcakes for goddaughters bday party with a baby blue and baby green theme so excited I love baking x
