Confessions of a Sports hater..

As everybody knows, a big part of losing weight is exercising..

I know for most people its not the most fun part and it was surely never for me either.

I always said to everybody´ I hate sport!´ I don´t even want to walk the stairs!´ ( well to be honest with you I still don´t like stairs and if nobody is watching i sneak into that elevator if I get the chance..* busted* ) .

Many times I subscribed myself for the fitness school and being determined to do 3 gym session a week which existed mostly out of Zumba, Yoga and whatever fancy class they had. Every  time though after a month of 2 , I paid a shitload of money to sit on the sofa and making all kinds of excuses imaginable to not go to that dreaded class. Too tired ( classic!) , worked very hard, need to clean the house, will go 5 times next week etc..etc..

When my turning point came though where I was doing nothing else than sitting on the sofa in my spare time, I needed to make a decision..which I did as you can read in my first post.

My worry was still the exercise though, I mean what would I need to do to be successful and not giving up or getting bored?

With me working 9 to 18 on weekdays, I decided that I was going to try morning exercises before work.. I might feel tired the first week or so , but well get used to it eventually.. ( I am not a morning person, so was a hard decision to make).

Now we are 3 months further and I do my morning exercises 4 mornings on weekdays, do 1 hour of workout on Saturday and do between 10k and 16k powerwalk on most Sundays... And you know what? I absolutely love it and feel soooo much better and so much satisfaction and pride every day again! I love the feeling of muscle pain and love the feeling of muscles burning during the workout! And even the being up at 6 in the morning everyday is very easy to get used too..

As you might have guessed I don´t go to the gym, but my husband and I are doing all our exercises at home with Youtube or Les Mills/ Beachbody workouts. Also we have a Multigym at home now with weights and all sorts of equipment from Pilates Ball to Fusion bands and Ab weels! ( addicted much?)

Thinking of doing the same but dont know where to start? See below some links I started with: 

• When I first started, a friend of  mine advised me to start with Jessica Smith TV who does 10 minute workout videos ( and more)  and you can do 1 or 2 or as many as you want.. See here the link. Jessica is a previous Ballerina and now a certified personal trainer. See is amazing and very calm on her exercise regime.. No crazy regimes or fad diets for her!
• Now I am doing a lot of exercises with Fitness Blender with the link right here, Fitness blender are a great couple who are doing many workouts together or alone but in a very personal way.. 
• A good Pilates Ball workout I do a lot is this one or this one. They are beginner Pilates Ball workouts as I am not that balanced yet to take it any further.. 

When my husband is doing home workouts, he is mostly doing Beachbody T25  from Trainer Shaun T. Which is a 25 minute program but you will sweat like you never did before!!

In the weekends I am more into Les Mills Bodypump or Bodycombat and on Sunday I try to go outside for power walks or a cycle.

So thats it for now, I have to go to bed as otherwise I will have issues to get out to exercise in the morning!

Stay Strong and Night Night!!
