I'm really trying to get back in shape.

I'm really not happy with the way I look currently. Sooo..

I have been doing some workouts, focusing on body weight exercises done via the circuit training method. Body weight exercises are literally what they sound like, using your own body weight as resistance in your training. Circuit training is having different sub-sections to a workout, so one circuit to me is one type of exercise movement.

So onto the exercises in my workout

1. Squats/ Sumo squats (whichever you prefer).

2. Calf Raises.

3. Lunges.

4. Jump Squats.

5. Toe Touches.

So my cardio is terrible!

Therefore one of my current aims is to improve it & get my resting heart rate down.

The way I intend to do this is by using a treadmill.

One because British weather is shit & two because running on the road is too hard on my shins.

So I thought why not share my treadmill routine with you guys.  By treadmill routine I mean the workout programme I intend to use to improve my cardio.


So the first thing I'm going to do, as I do with any work out, is to stretch out first. This is to reduce the risk of me pulling any muscles whilst doing my work out. This is a must before doing any exercise!
I do a few different stretches for both the legs & arms (you do move your arms when you run).


Now onto the workout!
Firstly, I start by walking at what I consider my average walking pace. I also like to have some incline, even if it's just level 1. I actually find it easier to run on an incline.
I then gradually increase the speed to a light jog, maintaining this pace for approximately 3 minutes (so after this point I am 5 minutes into the workout).

After this I then start my faster intervals. I like interval training as a whole, as it's not as tedious due to the changes of pace/ exercises (in this case pace). So by interval training I mean, running at a faster pace (about level 7.5 on my treadmill) for as long as I can or a set time limit then slow my pace, then repeat.
This is the whole principle of my treadmill workouts at the moment.

It's a great way to train as the short breaks (rest periods) allow you to recover to some degree, which means you can exercise for longer & push yourself further.
Don't over do it though & never push yourself too far to quickly!

So I hope this has helped some of you.

By no means am I saying don't exercise, because the benefits can be amazing (when done properly & affectively). However I just find these days that I don't have the time to commit to the gym everyday.

In fact I don't really want to look quite as athletic as I used to want to.

However I do still have so much respect for anyone who achieves their body goals.

I personally feel for me a balance of work, fitness & fun is the lifestyle that suits me & my needs.
I still think fitness is super important, however at the moment some health issues I'm dealing with need sorting befire I set any intense work out schedules.

How do you guys feel about this trend?
Are you into it or do you feel like it adds to the many pressures women face today?

We all have those moments when we really don't feel motivated.

Especially when it comes to getting up & going to the gym!

I find Instagram & Twitter to be a great apps to help motivate myself.
