Try googling "Fit Yummy Mummy" - her interval and strength training routines are great. 15 minutes a day.

Hi,

What is the circuit training like, please? Is it like the traditional method where you rush from one station to another to work different body parts without rest in between?

75 mins of circuit training sounds frightening!!

Hello, all!


After hitting my thirties, even looking at food makes me gain weight. Bah. i decided to start exercising again cos the kids keep bugging me to make pizza, pineapple tarts and other yummy-yums, so I gained TONS of weight cos I had to 'taste-test'. ha ha

Anyway, because I have no helper and there's still a baby at home, I can't really hit the gym or go for exercise classes, as much as I would like to. So, I wake up at around 545am to do this exercise programme called T-Tapp. (http://www.t-tapp.com) It is an exercise DVD that you can order from America (I am totally not involved in the company at all!). I like it as I can do it at home and have a choice of a 15-min, 30-min or 45-min workout. Trust me- it is really pretty strenuous as the point of that system is the 'push yourself to the max'. So far, I've lost 1.5kg in about 3 weeks. Woo hoo!

It's good for people who want to rehabilitate their knees and spine, too. It doesn't involve the use of weights as it uses the body as a weight-bearing mechanism instead, so that means that all one needs is a pair of sports shoes and a bit of living-room space to get started! My friend bought the dvd after hearing me rave about it and we both agree that it really changed our body shape; leaner and more toned! Busy mummies and daddies can check it out.

Brisk walking 5 times a week is a good and easy way to lose fats. But you have to do for duration of at least 30mins each time.

1 hour 15 mins is the total time I spend in gym.

My typical routine begins with pre-exercise stretching, warm up on either stationary exercise bike or elliptical trainer, then circuit training (yes, from one station to another station), follow by dumb bells & finally cool down by doing floor stretching exercises on mat.

Another quotable quote from a friend.

\"Once you hit middle age, you can get fat by just drinking water.\" :evil:

So true!

I expanded side way (in lightning speed!) over a few months period last year, no matter what I dont eat or dont drink. A rude wake up call for me to leave my couch LOL

I thought it was... \"just by breathing air\"? :faint:
