My Fitness Guide!

Hello!

As most of you have gathered I have been in the gym a lot since I started my membership in March. So I thought I'd write a guide on everything I do in the gym from what I do to what I wear! So here we go:

Classes

Body Pump - Body pump is a high energy class which uses weight and includes a lot of lunges! I've only done the class a few times but I love it. The coach is amazing, she motivates you which I find helps me because it pushes me to do better and not give up! 

Dance Fit - I have attended this since the day I joined and I love it! As you all know I'm a keen dancer and this is a aerobic like dance class, and it's very similar to zumba. The class has several routines which focus on different parts of the body. There is cardio, upper body, lower body and core. The instructor knows I suffer with bad knees so she always put alternatives in place for me which still exercise the same body parts as the squats!

Gym Workouts!

I go to the gym 2-3 times a week and after a few weeks of going I've had a 5 week programme put in place to help me shed the weight and tone the wobbly bits! Within 2 weeks I started to see the difference in my body, I feel so much more toned already. I still have 2 weeks left though so fingers crossed!

Workout Programme

I asked for a programme to help me focus on certain body parts and so I had a structure to follow while I was in the gym. So I thought I'd share my programme with you!

Workout Clothing

Having the correct clothing is so important when working out, especially footwear.
