20 mins of "pilates for dummies"

Hello!

I'm new here. I'm from Spain.

I love the way you exercise day after day, I mean, I'd like to have the motivation you've to do it.

I want to start a working-out plan, to lose weight and tonificate.


It will be very lovely if you can help me.

I'm looking for a not hard working-out, because I haven't work out for a long time, and my muscles are not prepared for a lot of exercise.


Thank you in advance.



(I'm sorry, my English is quite bad.. )

Went on a very fast paced walk for about 6 miles. Wasn't very successful and I was wearing the wrong shoes so my feet hurt. However I felt a lot slimmer after, my skin glowed, I even got a few cat calls. From losers. I wanted to punch them.

^ Urgh I hate when people do that while you are walking. I like to relax on my walk not feel like a piece of meat. I suppose at least it lets you know the walking is making your body look hot!

Yesterday: 50 mins crosstrainer, 10 mins skipping
Today: 20 mins crosstrainer, 10 mins rower
Ive been going a little crosstrainer crazy lately but loving it none the less

 

[Dizzydi]

I've been walking 8 miles today...does that count?

 

[reba]

lots of running lately:
Saturday: 1h10
Sunday: 45min
Today I'm taking a break

funny thing is that i can see an improvement mostly in my upper body. of course my lower body is a lot tighter now that i'm working out more, but not leaner yet. hopefully it'll soon show on my entire body!

Nobody can help me...?

Well because you want to loose weight and tone, but you don't excercise alot, you don't want to go jogging 7 miles a day like most of the people here because your muscles and heart will go into shock. If you have access to a treadmill , walk on it at about a 2-3 rpm speed on a stiff incline. do this for 30 mins to an hour, this way you get your heart working so you are burning calories and the incline is great for toning .
I don't have access to a gym, so I walk every evening for 4o minutes and jog or sprint for 10. When I get home I 100 crunches, 25 on each side, 30 sit-ups. I do 40 lunges around the house and only 25 squats because i don't want a nice round bum, I like to keep it flat
I finish with 20 pushups, wish helps tone the arms, that's not enough to build muscle.
This is my regime I do seeing as I was exacly like you and my results have been amazing.
You must strech alot afterwards, to creat lean muscles
Don't forget to eat well And you will feel pain after the first few days, so its good to take a day off so your muscles can stretch.

Oh and I have a pilates dvd called Crunch workout, I hope you have it in spain!. Its a 40 minute workout which involves most of those excercises.

 

[Kate_Moore]

Thanks a lot, Carrme.

I think it's really interesting what you'd written to me.

Those last days I've been working out a little; for example, I've started to do the 20 minutes (or 25, I can't remember well) Windsor Pilates Work-Out. I think it's so "funny" and so easy to do it..

I've been in the static-bike for 30minutes or 10 (lately).

And I think it will be good if I keep doing that, and practising what you've said.

I will write every day to explain what I've done and so, perhaps you could say if it's OK, or if it's not.


Thanks again!

Great I'm no certified professional, but I did have one year as a member with a "work out " class and we had a great teacher. I was the only girl so he was able to spend alot of time with me. And I am a ritual work-out magazine reader.
And your exercises are great too. The best thing is to mix up the workout. The things I wrote are half of what I do !.




Today : walk 20 mins
40 minute pilates
100 crunches
50 bicycle move
20 situps
20 pushups

 

[AriellaV]

I do speed-walking cardio for 30 minutes and stretches, situps, and lunges before I go to bed; I do both everyday @.@

 

[kirreway]

50 min cycle class this morning
It definitely woke me up and got the engine revving

Yesterday : I'd a bad day, I was not feeling right.. So, I worked out for only 15minutes on the 'indoor bicycle'.



I started the Montignac Diet last week, and during it I lost a lot of weight -well, not a lot, but I felt the difference so quickly. I mean, I was very rounded and inflated.. And, on Saturday or Sunday I started to look less round and more fit.. But, I think this week I'm looking fat again..

I think it's because I started the diet so 'strong', and now I'm eating some things I can eat.. But, not A LOT of things I cannot eat.. For example, a little piece of chocolate or some sweets..

I'm starting to worry about this because I can't understand why my body changes so fast..


Well,

by night I will post what I'm going to do during the afternoon. B)


Greetings!

I usually do this every single day...

A full hour of dance
1,000 sit-ups
I walk lots, I have no idea how much but for sure LOTS.
I also walk lots of flights of stairs

Which dance do you practise?

Last year I used to have dance lessons twice a week, it was so good for my body but the teacher wasn't enough good and I'd to left the lessons..

I'm looking for a Dance School this year, but I haven't find a good one yet..
