Over the last few months, I have gained a little bit of weight. I normally weigh around 112 lbs but my weight fluctuated to around 120 lbs recently. Now, considering I am only 5'2", that is a little higher than usual and I have noticed the weight gain mainly in my stomach and thigh areas.
I have officially decided to start working out *YAY*
I don't really intend on working out to lose weight because if I lose too much weight, it will be unhealthy. I have decided on a simple workout regiment that will fit easily into my current schedule. I want to be healthier and to tone my body.
So right now, I plan on doing cardio about 2-3 times a week by going to 30 minute walks. I can either go by myself, with a friend or even by walking my dog! For toning, I plan on doing some sort of home workout video, such as Pilates, Tae-bo, or the Wii Fit. I want to do these types of workouts twice a week. Pilates is great for toning your core areas! Tae-bo is basically a form of kick-boxing that is a pretty intense workout. The Wii Fit could be for those days where I am feeling lazy and want to do something more simple.
If you have any suggestions on home workout videos, or any suggestions about my fitness routine, please leave them in the comments!

Look into the Jillian Michaels DVDs. I think 30 Day Shred would be good for you. Being super overweight it gets my heart going and even I can make it through the first workout at least (haven't tried the other two yet).
ReplyDeleteAnd if you get it, look for a couple of 3 pound hand weights - you'll need them.
ReplyDeleteI didn't even think about weights :) thanks!
ReplyDeleteSounds good! I am hopefully going to start pilates, not really sure what to expect lol xx
