Seri...Hi Lilly ~ I love the Polar Bear shots :) :)<br /><br />Seriously.....(!)<br /><br />I don't go to the gym, until normal exercises arn't enough...so I'll do abdominal crunches, push-ups, spine flexibility, heel-raises, a little jogging (in the fresh air...not plodding along on a running machine, breathing in the rubbery smell of gym carpeting. Running up stairs. Hamstring stretches, etc etc. <br /><br />If I want to get REALLY fit, I will do about 6 weeks of the above and only then go to the gym. <br /><br />For me...going to the gym totally unfit is a waste of money.<br /><br />I'm the same weight as I was at around 25yrs...12 stone and 6' tall...and it's not because I'm naturally skinny...I was quite plump for a while when I went into an office.<br /><br />I don't eat much sweet stuff and tend to only eat the main meal on a menu...avoiding starters and puddings, sweets etc.<br /><br />Occastionally I binge on choccy biscuits and eat condensed milk from the can...but only when I feel I need it.<br /><br />Lots of fruit juices...especially Ribena (yes it HAS a lot of suger in it)<br /><br />For a good butt...leave your back heel on the ground a little longer when you walk..It makes the glutes flex really hard.<br /><br />On the other hand...If Kylie ran a gym.....(still green about Tony)<br /><br />xhsoulMerlinhttp://www.soulmerlin.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-70679382934742227402009-05-08T12:26:00.000+10:002009-05-08T12:26:00.000+10:00Sounds fun Kay, a bit country and wester but then ...Sounds fun Kay, a bit country and wester but then again I was born in the C&W capital of Australia.Lillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14597193176450931002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-59144322789174893912009-05-08T11:53:00.000+10:002009-05-08T11:53:00.000+10:00How about doing line dancing like me? :-)

Where my daughter lives is warm all year around. And I agree there is such a thing as seasonal disorder and people do get more depressed in colder weather.

If I didn't see the bear, For sure, I would have thought you were talking about your personal relationship with "you know who." Hehe.<br /><br />I hope that I'll be able to do some exercising soon.

I was bored with exercising and even more bored with the 5kg I didn't seem to be able to get to bugger off! <br /><br />I decided drastic action needed to be taken so I started with a personal trainer (I call him Captain Agony) who I see once a week. Best thing I could have done. I'm getting fitter, have lost a bit of weight, toning up and have my mojo back.<br /><br />Captain Agony recommends 3 sessions of exercise a week but at a high intensity. He also recommends a mixture of weights and cardio. I didn't realise how high the intensity needed to be until I saw him.<br /><br />Anyway, good luck with it. Hopefully you'll get some ideas from all the comments!Sami - Life, Laughs and Lemmingshttp://www.lifelaughsandlemmings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-6302594979412366842009-05-04T16:10:00.000+10:002009-05-04T16:10:00.000+10:00I do nothing, except go from bed, to the lounge to...I do nothing, except go from bed, to the lounge to the fridge.
