And the 6 weeks begins....

So I had my appt with my personal trainer this morning (it was early, but i managed!). It all went well. First we did a fitness test (run for as long as you can on the treadmill). I probably could have gone for longer but I started getting really sore legs (shin splint style pain). I usually get it when i run on a treadmill (would prefer to be outside) and also think it may be due to sore legs from new netball shoes, as I also got the pain at netball training last night.

Next up we went through my program for the week. It's a circuit style program using kettlebells, medicine balls and some jumping up onto benches (the worst thing ever!!). I have to go through the circuit 3 times non stop, and time myself. Each session I have to aim to get faster and I have to do it twice more before I see her next wednesday.

I've done all the exercises before so getting them were no problem. Doing all of them in a row non-stop 3x was hard work but I got there in a time of 19.49. watch this space for an improvement!!

While I was there she also gave me my eating plan which looks pretty good :) For each meal I'm given 3 or 4 options as to what I can have and am allowed 2 cheat meals a week (where she said I can have WHATEVER i want!). theres a few things that we dont have in our cupboards so Im about to do some online shopping to stock up, then theres no excuses!!

The last thing she gave me was some homework for the week, and im going to challenge all my readers out there to do it with me! Week 1's homework is 1000 star jumps and 200 backward lunges, done at any stage during the week. so standing waiting for dinner to cook, do 20 star jumps. during the ad breaks on tv, 50 star jumps. add them up and let me know how you are going! ill be keeping a tally on my fb page, so make sure you post yours their as well, lets motivate each other!

i came across this pic and thought it appropriate for day 1 :)

i hope everyone is having a good week so far xx
