getting fit again

Once again, 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Much better than nothing. Good on you 👌🏻😊♥️

I also started the 55 squat challenge on Monday for National Breast Cancer. Three days down, only 28 to go! I have only raised $72 but it is better than nothing.

@FLClover Thank you. I would never get my workouts done if I had to dress for them. I do them in my jammies. Only after my coffee though.

Wow @Blossom1961 woohoo!! 🥳🎉👏🏻👏🏻 

Seven weeks down. Has anyone joined me? I have completed at least one workout everyday and I feel fantastic. My body is starting to tone up but no weight loss as I struggle to diet. I love my food. The extra bonus is that I am getting my confidence back and the main workout instructor I follow encourages us to 'get your sexy on' and so I have been doing all kinds of sexy moves and it is confidence building and fun! 

24 days down and I don't want to stop. For those of you considering this, I will let you know some of the challenges I faced and what I did to beat them.
1. Determine a time and stick to it. Morning is best for me otherwise I find excuses. My workout is anytime before 8am.
2. Too tired. Had this one many times. I make myself get on the app and do the most gentle stretch exercises I can find. Feels so good but no energy is required. This means you don't break your routine.
3. Workout too strenuous. It is my choice. If I don't like the class I simply press the x button. So easy. That x button gets a lot of use.
4. The daily recommended class doesn't interest me. It rarely does, I scroll through the huge list and choose which one I feel like for the day. If I choose one that is over the top, the x button.
5. I love the class but the workout is too hard. I adapt many of the moves so that it is MY WORKOUT.
6. It is too fast. Slow the moves down. Do half as much.
7. Hard to follow. I do have preferred trainers that I check out their classes before anyone elses as these are the ones that I find easiest to follow.
My moves are uncoordinated but no one can see me at home so I just go for it. I even add in extra wiggles just for the fun of it. Enjoy!

I love dairy too @Blossom1961, but when I cut it out I feel much better. Less bloating and fewer pimples, no stomach pain etc. So I drink only rice or almond milk, and hardly have cheese. 

Seventeen days straight and I feel great. Admittedly, at least half of those I did the stretch exercises. Doesn't matter, I feel good. Now to start tackling my diet. I love dairy but it encourages breast cysts. Dr says it can't cause cysts but when I have dairy in my diet I get cysts, when I take dairy out for more than two weeks, my cysts go. Soooo.......
Anyway, today I am starting my healthy diet. Not too strict but baby steps. I will also start doing a little more of the dance sessions on the app, but may have to do them a bit later in the morning when my feet don't ache.

Oh that’s awesome @Blossom1961!!! I’m so glad you tried it again and loved it!! 😃🤩. Zumba can be intimidating in a class where the instructor goes too fast. The steps are quite hard to learn, and it’s too fast to give you a chance to get them. So it needs to be slow for starters. But once you get it, it’s sooooooo much fun!! Basically the point is to move as much as possible to get the exercise factor out of it, but to have fun at the same time. And gettting the steps right certainly increases the fun factor 😜. Very happy you’re doing it 👏🏻😊. 

@FLClover I did the Zumba intro session this morning on the app. Eleven minutes of wiggling. Loved it. I even did the sound effects much to my hubby's amusement. Certainly got the heart pumping.
