Thanks guys
I'm glad its a motivator! I'm a really big believer in anyone can do it (especially if I can lol :P)
Slai - my stomach isnt naturally flat either, I actually have a really sway back which pushes it right out, and i'm prone to bloating :P core work helped pull it in a bit but I still have that "pooch" but on the lower tummy. I have decided I like it, it's feminine lol. (and if you can't get rid of something you may as well make peace with it! hehe)
aneleh - Its been about building muscle tone, I actually dropped down to 112 pounds at one time and STILL looked untoned with a podgy round stomach. Weights are a girls best friend
crcossel - Yeah, it does seem a fair bit, and it probably is but exercise is my hobby so I love to just jump in and do it. I like to keep it varied so I dont get bored either. My schedule though looks a little like this:
Monday - Dragonboat practice (1 - 1.5hr on water with land warm up) - I will also sometimes do a spin class with short warm up run in the morning (if I can drag my butt out of bed early enough! :P)
Tuesday - at the moment its treadmill run (30 mins) and weights (sometimes a spin class as well... like this evening). I'll be starting a Zumba class with a friend though in Feb and it'll be Tuesday evenings. There is also a land session for dragonboating in the morning which I sometimes go to (it's like bootcamp)
Wednesday - same as monday
Thursday - gym with a friend, I do a 30 minute run on the treadmill and then a spin class and afterward we do a good stretch session
Friday - run and weights
Saturday - dragonboat practice in the AM (water session - 1 - 1.5hr and then sometimes a land session as well)
Sunday - run and weights.
NOW - I dont do this every week. I DO have days off when I feel like it and if my body feels tired I dont push it. I like exercise, but I dont want to hurt myself :P and I try and walk as much as I can rather than take the car (i.e. to the gym...but I am lucky in the the gym is only a couple of kms away).
...and yes, I do have a full time job :P
Thanks for the motivation! I would love to look like you do right now!
