Exercise... AND ALL THAT JAZZ!

So you're most probably thinking... 'Oh no the mainstream "HEY GUYS IT'S SUMMER TIME FOR THAT HOT BOD" No. This post is different. This post is about me, and why I have begun to exercise as well as how it's making me feel. The main and prime reason as to why I'm aiming to loose weight is because I want to as well as need too. I weigh _ _ kilo and for a female who is also eighteen it's overweight and unhealthy .__. as much as I love food I need to stop being careless and begin to "treat my body like a temple" As my best friend would say and to be quite honest I'm already quite composed in terms of friends, family and what I say and keep to myself. Therefore, if I keep a composed mentality and keep my thoughts clean why don't I do the same with my body?

It all started two weeks ago Tuesday the 22nd of April 2014 it was the week in which we all went back to college/ school etc. And I was all set and ready to go, I had my lunch packed my bag ready and clothes well you all know I'm not one to plan outfits I don't really care for what I wear... Anything comfortable will do. Basically what happened is that I caught food poisoning from some 'salami' my father brought home and I was so shocked because I was in absolute pain as well as constantly puking etc. Minor details, if you don't know the symptoms of food poisoning look it up. But yes, I was in absolute shock that something that can taste so good could be so bad for me and my body. So as my body went through the stages of clearing it all out I took it as an opportunity for myself to better my eating habits, what I put in and what I can get out of it. I began exercising regularly and watching what I eat. I no longer drink fizzy drinks (only water, and the occasional smoothie) haven't had a packet of crisps in what seems like forever and although I have smaller portions for lunch, breakfast and dinner it has stopped me from snacking- And if I ever do get peckish crips, chocolate, and biscuits have been replaced with bananas, apples and tangerines.

So if you follow me on twitter you'll know that Saturday 3rd May 2014 I began what I thought I would begin to regret the work out routine 'Insanity' BUM BUM BUM!!!! No but it's not as bad as I thought it would be... I say this now as I've only reached day 3 but I'm already seeing results although my legs ACHE it's worth it. There are no weights or equipment needed... "Your body is the equipment" as Shaun T the instructor of the course would say. It's funny because I did start 'Yoga Pilates' last year but I did not like the instructor because she was quite patronising as well as her voice being too soft instead of making me want to do it with her it instead made me want to sleep. Whereas Shaun T is noway near patronising he pushes you even when you feel like you can't go on his words of encouragement make you feel as though you can and will pull through. To be quite honest, I'm going on as if he's in the room with me but it feels that way some times. Honestly, he is quite brilliant; and his strategy is 3 minutes workout 15-30 seconds water break and straight back. It may sound horrible, but much more affective than working out for a long period of time then taking a 10-15 minute break. It keeps your heart race up and pushes you and your body to the limit - but if you struggle it is acceptable to take breaks and it helps too that the instructor himself can't cope nor the individuals in the video: making you feel as though you're apart of the team/ group.

Now I'm not advertising 'Insanity' as amazing as it is, but I'm just letting you all know what it is I've started and why and to be quite honest for anyone who is looking for something to do daily and to work everything on their body I would strongly recommend Insanity, it sounds insane but it's all logic and strength really. Just push yourself and you will persevere!

As always, peace & love
