So yesterday, I went to the gym and I worked out for an hour and a half, instead of just an hour. I dedicated one hour of that to pure cardio work, and the the last thirty minutes to weight lifting. For the girls who are trying to lose weight or get into shape, the key is when doing cardio, trick your body. Don’t go at one pace, switch it up. For example, on the exercise bikes, I start off at a nice easy pase, and ten minutes later I kick it up to a more intense pace, and so on. In doing this, your body won’t get adjusted to the speed, and it will be more effective. Also, don’t be afraid to lift weights. We are not men, so we won’t look bulky and mad scary, it will only sculpt our bodies.
And don’t be afraid to eat, I used to not eat that much, probably ate less than 1500 calories. Which sure, you’re eating less, and might lose weight. But if you want to feel great about yourself, and be healthy, eat regularly. Make sure you’re eating the right foods, and staying within your 2000-2500 calories. Also, don’t be afraid to indulge yourself into a dessert, I mean fit girls burn more than they consume. That’s all you have to do :]
And today, my legs are sore from the working out. Not because I over did it, but I can feel the results. My legs are feeling a little tighter, and although they’re not incredibly firm and athletic since it’s only been the second day, I can definitely feel a difference already.
And question for the readers, although I’m not confident about my body because I have a lot of effort to put into myself. For those on a weightloss journey as well, would it help if I took pictures of my target areas and show the progress? Yes, no? Let me know :]
