10 Minute Trainer

A couple of weeks ago my husband ordered The Beach Body 10 Minute Trainer. It consists of five 10 minute workouts-cardio, yoga, lower body, total body and abs. All of the workouts were created by Tony Horton.

Today, I have officially started my exercise regime. I started out with the 10 minute cardio set while my 10 month old took his mid-day nap. I have to say it's a good workout if you haven't exercised in a long time. It did me good despite the fact that I fractured my femur a few months ago and am still limping. What I mean to say it's not a complicated routine but it is effective. I worked up quite a sweat during those 10 minutes. The cardio segment basically consists of 10 back to back exercises with no break in between. The program recommends that you do at least 3 different segments per day but, I plan to keep it down to one until I get the hang of things.

I plan to do 2 days straight of cardio followed by a day of total body and so forth. It's better than not doing anything at all :-). I still haven't taken my measurements but will do so this week along with the before pictures. Still thinking if I should post them. hmmm

Let's get fit and healthy :-)

If you just had a baby or have gained a few unwanted pounds and want to get back to being healthy and fit then this is the blog for you. I had a baby in March 2009 and I have to say I gained almost 50 lbs. After the first month I lost almost 30 lbs. between the baby, placenta, excess water and everything else that your body produces to help your baby during the pregnancy. But, I have to say these last 20 lbs. just don't want to budge.

Basically I'll be writing about how I will be trying to improve my eating habits; I'll be writing about my exercise regime and I'll also include helpful tips that I pick up along the way or read about.

I'd also like to use my blog as a way to meet people who also wish to do the same as me. This can be an exciting way to meet new people, give eachother support and learn from eachother. :-)

I'm no fitness or diet expert so don't take anything I say as a complete truth.

So join me and we can all get on the right track to saying farewell to the flab and hello to being healthy, fit and fabulous.
