What Are You Doing To Get Fit?

im part of a team that plays a sport called camogie. its an irish sport and is the female version of hurling. (thats hurling, not curling!) training for it is very intensive, a lot of jogging (bout a mile and a half every session, to warm up) then lots of drills and more running. its the fastest ball game in the world so u need to be fit and quick and last year i was neither! this year i hope to be more of an impact and on the field more than im on the bench!

Wow! Camogie - class -you're gonna be superfit! SOme of those girls ar like big gorgeous amazons - Id love to be able to play a team sport(have never been able to -too afraid of gettin hit! lol)

I'm walkin to and from places as much as possible now, and I've started having a wee crazy dance session at home. It sounds a bit wick I know but I get the kids up and we all fall down sweating and laughin so its good. I'm joing a boxing training class on the 28th jan and joining 'Curves' this week so I'm really trying to incorpprate exercise into my new lifestyle. Its not just about being skinny.

Good luck.

Playing on the WII!!!! I can't believe just how hot and sweaty you can be - obviously playing Sports games, rather than just sat on my backside. Last night played over and hour and a half playing tennis, and i was a right sweaty betty when I finished, red face too. From walking the dog to doing that is a good improvement I think!

Thinking of taking dance mat classes too - but not sure yet!

I have been exercising at home with my personal trainer. When he's not around he has set me walking targets to achieve on a daily basis. The weight is really coming off!

1. Trying to average 10,000 steps per day.

2. Trying to do three sessions of cardio of at least 50 minutes.

3. An additional two sessions of Body Pump if I can be bothered

I'm walking, doing some exercises at home and Yoga, which is helping me a lot. I fell more flexible and relaxed.....

 

[rowanx2]

walking and home exercise are coming out on top.
both free and both probably the best for all over too!
