Slimways Journey ...UPDATE after 4 weeks

Hi guys, so as you know if you follow me on facebook I have been attending Slimways for the last 4 weeks. This has been a long time coming because if  I am totally honest I haven't been happy with my body for a long time.
I had 2 pregnancies back to back..both of which were very difficult pregnancies and after delivery I started to comfort eat. This was something I couldn't do during pregnancy as I suffered badly with Hyperemisis Gravidarum which meant I lost 3 stone while pregnant. This quickly piled back on after birth along with some extra lbs which led me to where I was a month ago.
I was the biggest I had ever been and I was not happy. I had finally reached a point where I needed to make some changes and this is where slimways comes into it.
As I mentioned in a previous blog they do Slimways Assembly Line Training (S.A.L.T)  which incorporates  High Intensity Interval Training (HIITS)
This is a new concept for aerobic exercise classes. This is a new facility with a fresh approach. It’s a full 60 minute class with a proven program of cardio, strength, spin and stretching, so it is suitable for women of all shapes, sizes and ages. There is no choice, you have to do it all, in one hour – four studios, four trainers and four different workouts, 12 minutes of High Intensity Interval Training (4 x HIITS) in each studio. It’s a complete workout and it’s different every time you come as the combination of trainers and classes is constantly changing.
I absolutely love this idea...I hate the gym I hate the idea of an hour looking at the same face making me do something I don't enjoy and pushing me for 60 mins. That doesn't happen at Slimways. You are in 4 different rooms for 15 mins with different trainers. For me this is a huge thing as i really push myself because its only 15 mins. However even though its ONLY 15 mins you really feel it ..I frequently leave each room feeling half dead yet get rejuvenated in the next room by a fresh workout. It turns out I actually love spinning and the weights ..who knew??
 My worst room is room one which is cardio,mainly because i have no coordination....I also cant jump. YES you read the correctly..I cannot put my two feet together and jump up onto a step,I don't know why but this white woman cant jump.
I am working on it though. I also couldn't plank when I started now I can and you know I'm bloody proud of myself. Am I grace full and coordinated....HELL NO... but am I doing it and giving it my all.....HELL YES.
If I can do this guys seriously anyone can...and I for one am telling everyone I know all about this program

I am delighted with the changes in my body after such a short space of time and the muscle tone and definition i am seeing already especially in my legs is unreal and very exciting for me as i never had it before.

My Fitness Challenge with Slimways

Hey guys,so if you follow my facebook,twitter,snapchat you will know that i have stared on a fitness challenge with Slimways.  It has been my desire to get fit for quite a while now but my head wasn't really in the right place to go about it until now. I had never been to a gym,or to fitness classes as such for a number of reasons. When i was younger I didn't need it..I was fit and active. As i got older i went to the odd aerobics class in a community hall..that kind of thing.However after 2 back to back pregnancies both of which were very difficult and took a long while to recover from i needed to get fit. I was overweight for my frame and miserable in my own skin. I just wasn't happy with my body and got to the stage where things needed to change. This change started 2 weeks ago with Slimways. I am training there twice a week at the moment but will be going 3 times a week from next week. What appealed to me about Slimways was the fact that they do what is called Slimways Assembly Line Training. (S.A.L.T.) This brand new aerobic programme  focuses on HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) and is guaranteed to offer constantly changing and challenging routines.It is 15 mins in 4 specially designed rooms that varies from circuits to weights to spinning and then stretching and cool down. You have a different trainer in each room as well and I really like that. I'm the kind of person who if i had to spin for an hour I wouldn't push myself early on because i have the rest of the hour to go. So i love the fact that its only 15 mins..i can push myself totally and commit to the 15 mins because i know its gonna end really quickly and we will move on to something else. The trainers are fantastic ..they really explain everything and make sure your posture is correct for the squats and weight lifting.I will be doing regular blog updates here as well as little snippets on my facebook page Lipglossaddictcork
I am also doing snaps of my journey on snapchat   (USERNAME lipglossaddictc)   as well as instagram and twitter and i would love you all to follow my journey.
