I know you are probably delighted to spend more time with your kids but it must be a killer not being able to go to the gym if you want.:(

What kind of equipment do you have at home?

ha, ha, yeah ...not that much time
I have a mat , a reistance band (for pilates dvd/wii fit) and these dumbells

I have <ahem> acquired Chalean Extreme and I'm planning to do that - the programme is 5 times a week.

Sounds great! You'll have to post up a pic of your abs after it!:D

Dotcomdolly

I hope so too R.C!

I just updated my before & after photos to date

June 09 - 11'7
Today - 9'4

Inches lost off bust/waist/hips = 5/6/6

Goal is to get to 9stone, 1 inch off waist and 3% off bodyfat.

Friday 01/07

Chalean Extreme time!

The first monthly programme looks like this -

Day 1 - Burn Circuit 1
Day 2 - Rest
Day 3 - Burn Circuit 2
Day 4 - Burn Intervals & Ab Burner
Day 5 - Burn Circuit 3
Day 6 - Burn it off & Recharge
Day 7 - Rest

Did Burn circuit 1 this mroning - it's a good workout & would be one you could transcribe & bring to the gym too.
Negative point for me is that she chops & changes the wieghts she uses for each exercise, and as I have the adjustable york weights (link above) it's just not working out for me... I really need to have a set of different dumbells or one of those awesome dial-a-weights she uses. But I shall struggle on

Dotcomdolly

Burn circuit 2 today. I'm loving this workout so far, would get more out of it if I had the right weights. I paused and changed the dumbells today and it was a pita. She did a set of 3 different push ups that had me dripping on the mat!

Dotcomdolly

No Chaleaning today.
I looked at the plan & have sorted out which days I'll be doing it as from next week I'll be doing a pilates class on mondays & a zumba class on wednesdays. So I'll do those on my chalean rest days. Which means I'll be exercising 7 days a week. I'll have to see how it goes.....I may find it too much in which case I will drop one or both of the Chalean cardio days

So this evening I went to zumba as I can't go Wednesday.

So weekly plan looks like:

Monday - Pilates class
Tuesday - C.E Burn Circuit 1
Wednesday - Zumba class
Thursday - C.E Burn Circuit 2
Friday - C.E Burn Intervals & Ab Burner
Saturday - C.E Burn Circuit 3
Sunday - C.E Burn it off & Recharge

Dotcomdolly

Burn Circuit 1 done for the day.
Challenged myself a bit more on the weights and changed them about more so feel like a got a great workout & can see how it would yield great results (here's hoping!).

Dotcomdolly

Burn circuit 2 done and dusted. Hard work

Dotcomdolly

Chalean Intervals today, definitely the most intense and challenging one so far.Â*The plan says to do intervals PLUS abs sections but there's no way I could do more after that - time and energy wise- the intervals workout is 47 minutes as it is. If I feel very saintly later I might check out the abs bit.

G86

What exactly do the intervals involve in the new workout?

Pics look great, well done you!

She does a minute or so of high energy cardio, like pretend skipping, boxing, kicking etc. You are supposed to give it socks and get your heart rate up. Then she'll do a weights exercise (rows, bicep curls, squats) - rather than going heavy like in the previous workout you go lighter & do high reps. And repeat and repeat till you're a tremblling heap

Dotcomdolly

Chalean burn circuit 3 done
I am proud that I am almost finished week 1 and have worked out every morning despite having the kids under my feet. I am really enjoying this workout, just wish I had the right equipment as screwing on & off plates for each exercise is a pita.
Haven't lost any weight (have actually gained a tiny bit) but my stomach is looking flatter and am seeing some more muscle in my arms.

Dotcomdolly

Took yesterday off but just finished the cardio workout from chalean extreme "burn it off". Phew! Dripping!
Also a non scales victory - yesterday I bought s size 10 skirt, first time in 15+ years!

Dotcomdolly

Went for a run this morning
Distance: 5.02 km | Pace: 5'53"/km

Pilates this evening
eta - Oh lordy Pilates was HARD. My friend (who usually goes) told me today was the first class of the new course, but it was actually the last class of the previous one - she progresses as the course does so the last class of the course is always a doozy. I couldn't do stuff ! I hate that!!! My abs are going to be hurting tomorrow for sure.

Dotcomdolly

Abs are actually ok. Legs a bit sore & stiff from run & pilates

did C.E Burn Circuit 1 this morning

Dotcomdolly

Zumba class this evening. Lots of new FAST tracks. Good workout.

Dotcomdolly

CE Burn Circuit 2 done

Here's the workout sheet for my dvd - will give you an idea of the exercises I'm doing.

Feeling a bit fed up today. Know it's because my period is due but still fed up! Have worked my ass off exercise wise the last week but up again on the scales from last week, not much but 1lb up over the last fortnight. And no change on the tape. I got one of those safe food tape measures free from the chemist & I'm on the brink of overweight on it ffs. Stupid fat waist.
