Having a blast!

Having fun in Weston Supermare. 

Don't get me wrong had a really tough start to this morning, woke up nice and early.. 

Ok, had a bit of a lie in. 


Had my Vi Shake, then headed out to the Gym.

Went to the gym worked out for about an hour doing a mixture of power plates (those things are tough believe me, was only on it for 20 minutes, but felt the effects!) and spent over 15 minutes doing stomach crunches and floor work
Must have easily used up over 280 calories if not more. 

Chilled out in the Sauna and Steam room for an hour. This was heaven, I love the steam room, I could live in it.  It's great for the pores and for breathingSpent some time in the Jacuzzi before getting ready to go out and about to the beach at Weston Supermare.  

Did loads of walking about, saw some great shops (no shoes though :()

Topped off the day with a lovely Chinese meal.  

My point is?


Put walking and exercising in your daily routine where ever you can.  Sometimes you just have to force yourself to make time.  
We all lead busy lives, but really no exercise is no excuse. 

Just 30 minutes walking or exercising a day, getting your cardio up will help to maintain a healthy heart. 

Heart disease, high blood pressure are among some of the illnesses caused by lack of exercise and bad diets.  Just by changing a few things could help improve the length and qaulity of your life.

Exercises You Should Not Do To Lose Weight




Mistake #1: Doing isolated exercises

Doing isolated exercises like bicep curls and tricep kick-backs will not get you any significant results. These one-muscle-at-a-time moves simply don't stimulate enough muscle fibers to build lean muscle or expend enough energy to maximize your calorie burn.

If you want to build lean muscle while burning fat so you can get serious definition, you need to perform exercises that stimulate as many muscles and expend as much energy as possible at the same time. Using these types of exercises (which I'll reveal on the next page) will dramatically accelerate your results.


Mistake #2: Working out with machines

Fancy machines may make the gym look high-end, but truthfully, about the only thing they're good for is for sitting down while you tie your shoes or catch your breath! The problem is this: Machines alter the way your body naturally moves and restrict your range of motion. This severely limits your ability to fully activate all of your muscles fibers -- that means less fat burning and less muscle definition. Worse yet, machines can cause excessive strain on your joints, leading to nagging injuries down the road.

If you want fast results, it's critical that you incorporate exercises that allow your body to move naturally with full range of motion so you can skyrocket your metabolism and tone your entire physique.


Mistake #3: Doing long bouts of cardio

Look, you need to do cardio if you want to lose weight and burn fat...BUT there's a right way and a wrong way to do your cardio workouts. If you've been pounding the pavement or the treadmill with nothing to show for it (except sore joints and a pair of stinky worn out sneakers), you already know it takes a lot of effort to get minimal results.

In this article, I'm going to reveal the most effective way to pump up your cardio routine that will get you insane results in half the time of your regular cardio workout -- without causing unnecessary stress on your joints. Seriously, don't skip this article because once you learn this simple trick, you'll kick yourself for not doing it all along.


Mistake #4: Doing crunches and sit-ups to get 6-pack abs

If you want washboard abs, doing traditional ab exercises like crunches and sit-ups WILL NOT get you a six pack. In fact, doing any exercises that target your abs won't get you a six pack either! These so-called "ab" exercises are a complete waste of time. They don't make your abs get any more defined and they definitely don't burn any fat.

The key to getting sculpted abs is to burn off that stubborn layer of belly fat that's hiding them!


Mistake #5: Repeating the same workout routines over and over

Repeating the same workouts over and over is a surefire way to STOP getting results. We're creatures of habit and we tend to stick to things we're familiar with and good at. But when it comes to your workouts, if you want to keep making progress and keep seeing changes in your body, you've got to start switching things up.

You see, your body has an amazingly ability to adapt quickly and when it does, that's when you hit the dreaded plateau and you stop making progress.


Mistake #6: Doing long workouts

Longer workouts do NOT equal better or faster results. If you've been slaving away at the gym and your body isn't visibly changing, you can't do more of the same thing and expect a different result.

When it comes to getting lean and fit, your body responds to quality over quantity. I'm going to tell you the #1 way to super-charge your workouts -- this simple, yet overlooked method is the single fastest way to getting lean and ripped while cutting your workout time almost in half. No joke - this technique will open up a can of whoop-ass on your workout!

10 Benefits of Regular Exercise By Mary Ponce



We should all have a regular physical exercise regime, even if it is only half an hour each day for an energetic walk. The benefits of frequent exercise are enormous, these are ten real advantages that can be derived from physical activity.

1. Increasing your metabolic rate.


This is particularly helpful to people who want to lose weight. Your metabolic rate is the one at which your body burn off calories and therefore fat when it is at rest. Regular exercise increases your metabolic rate and it helps to increase weight loss.

2. Improves cardiovascular health.

Cardiovascular exercise, or cardio as it is often referred to, is the exercise that works the heart and lungs. Regular exercise includes such things as: swimming and cycling. These exercises can also be described as aerobic. They exercise the heart and lungs making them much stronger and healthier organs.

3. Stronger bones.

Regular weight bearing aerobic exercises such as: walking, jogging, aerobics classes, and dancing. All help to strengthen your bones.

4. Healthier skin.

Because cardiovascular exercise raises your heartbeat and gets your lungs working harder, this improves your circulation. Which in turn leads to an improved supply of essential nutrients to your skin, helping to detox your body and promoting healthy skin. Exercise also delivers more oxygen to the skin which helps it to fill out and promotes a healthier skin color.

5. Reduces stress.


The stress is caused by the presence of certain hormones in the bloodstream. Regular physical exercise helps to remove these hormones consequently reducing the levels of stress.

6. Improves mood.

Mood swings are governed by hormones called endorphins that are found in the brain. When our endorphin levels are low, we experience feelings of depression. It is proven that exercise increases endorphin levels thereby helping to reduce or alleviate feelings of depression. A survey has revealed that people who perform regular exercise are as much as 50% less prone to depression than people who do not exercise. It is also known that work outs promotes the production of the serotonin. Serotonin has been associated with calmness, therefore creates feelings of increased calmness.

7. Increased brainpower.


The brain, through its ability to stimulate increased blood flow, also facilitates a healthier and more active brain with exercise.

8. Improved immune system.

Regular physical exercise has also been linked with beefing up the immune system so that simple infections such and colds and flu are contracted less often.

9. Keeps you looking more youthful.

As mentioned earlier, habitual exercise also increases the blood supply and aids circulation. This helps to reduce the amount of fine wrinkles. This weight loss will also maintain you to looking and feeling younger.

10. A more flexible body.

If we do not exercise our joints and muscles tend to seize up. Regular exercise helps to keep our bodies more fluid, which facilitates our body's agility and mobility.

It can clearly be seen just how good and also how important regular physical exercise is for us. It not only keeps us fit, but it helps us to lose weight, it improves our mood. It also prolongs our life by promoting a strong healthy heart and it allow us to look and feel younger too.
