Gym Workout for women :) A brilliant workout to get you started.

Image
Hello and how are you all today? Today I am going to be posting the workout I do in the Gym. Please remember  I have only been at the gym for one month now, so maybe this workout will be easy for some of you. This workout is prefect for newbies. My gym uses the TECHNOGYM machines which have a key system that can have a pre designed workout on them so you know exactly what to do :) Now before we start please remember that I strongly recommend that you consult with your physician before beginning any exercise program. I do 3 different workouts at the Gym - This is my ALL OVER workout 1. Treadmill      - 3 mins at 6.0 Km/h                              1 min   at 8.0 Km/h                              1 min   at 6.0 Km/h                              1 min   at 8.0 Km/h                              1 min   at 6.0 Km/h                              1 min   at 8.0 Km/h                              1 min   at 6.0 Km/h                              1 min   at 8.0 Km/h

Hello and welcome to my first ever :                                       FOLLOW ME THURSDAY So, ever Thursday I will write about what I did and what I ate. This morning I was at the gym at 6.30 AM and did my "FULL BODY" workout ( I will be posting specific details of what I actually do in the Gym for my workouts) My FULL BODY workout last about 45 mins. I have to keep my workouts short as I have a busy little family to look after too :) After my workout I walked home and by the time I got there it was 8AM. Then I poured myself a Skinny Tea from Teami using my lovely purple Teami mug. I don't particularly like herbal tea but I am hoping that I will see the benefits from drinking it. After I finished my tea at about 9.10 I had breakfast :) Breakfast was oatmeal?porridge made with almond milk. On top I sprinkled some coconut sugar and cinnamon and added some yummy dates. Then at about 11 AM I had a little snack of about a handful of t

Hı Everyone, How are things going with all of you? Today I am going to show you some OPI polish.   As you can see from the picture I got the OPI mini nail polish sets from the 'Germany Collection' and the 'Skyfall 007' collection. Also there is a Hula Hoop in the picture - I am so excited about it. Lets start with the Germany Collection. The minis come with 4 colours from the collection. We have 'Don't Pretzel My Buttons'. 'Nein! Nein! Nein! OK Fine' , 'Unfor-greta-bly Blue' and 'Suzi & the 7 Dusseldorfs'. I love the names :) I will describe the colours of the four polishes in the picture from left to right.
