Workout Update!
This week myself and my training buddies have upped our game. We began a new training program which is definitely more intense. We are pushing ourselves extremely hard and putting 100% into every session.
This week i have seen amazing improvements, my sport was running and I love it however I decided I wanted a new challenge. I wanted to improve my strength and go for the physique I had always wanted, 6 weeks ago I had absolutely zero upper body strength i am now able to lift my own body weight in a chin up and I am ecstatic!!! My body is changing and I am extremely happy with my results so far! My body fat has dropped and I am now currently at 11.8%
Today was a back and shoulder session, heres a pic from todays session :)

LEG DAY!
Yesterday was one of my favorite days of the week...LEG DAY!
I have been seeing some real improvements lately, weights are increasing and I'm feeling strong. I'm putting everything into every training session and I am really seeing the benefits both physically, mentally and in the amount I can lift...this makes me a happy Becky! :)
Yesterdays leg session consisted of:-
Squat Rack
Lying Hamstring Curl
Leg Press 30 REP DROP SET TO FINISH - THIS WAS A KILLER!!!
Seated Leg Curl
Leg extension
Romanian Deadlift with Dumbbell
Hack Squat Punishment!!!
Never forget to put your weights away in the gym, keep your gyms nice and tidy otherwise your training buddies might do to you what mine did to me and made me finish on a 50 rep hack squat!!! This was disgusting after a 30 rep drop set leg press. Needless to say i will not forget to put anything ever again!
Beginning a new program as of today, today is chest and arms...looking forward to it!

REST DAY...YOGA DAY
Today is a day of rest for me from Training but I'm the not the type of person who can just sit around and do nothing (I'm sure many of you are the same), so I decided I would take myself along to a Hot Yoga class...yes i said HOT YOGA!
Hot yoga is great to improve flexibility, co-ordination, balance and mental strength. It relieves stress and helps you sleep.
I've always enjoyed a good Yoga or Pilates class to clear the mind, have a good stretch and focus on some core strength and Hot Yoga is AMAZING for this! Its definitely something that should be tried. The room is heated to 105-110 degrees which is great for making us more supple to get into the positions and push the boundaries of flexibility. Also ladies its great for your skin. You will come out feeling relaxed, fresh and revitalized!
Why not check out where your local Hot Yoga Rooms are and give it a go?

Sunday Fun! Moel Famau Run
Now the weather is picking up and the sun is shining, why not take to exercising outdoors?
Sunday was a great day, the sun was out and so myself and some friends (and the dogs) planned to run up Moel Famau in North Wales. It was hard but thoroughly enjoyable, the views from the top of the Mountain were beautiful and definitely worth the hard work we put in to run up the top. There was some nice muddy spots - well its just no fun without any mud is it?!?!
Exercise shouldn't be a chore, it should be fun. Don't waste your Sunday sitting on the couch!!! Get out and enjoy some of the local attractions, you may not feel that running is your thing but a walk outside is better than not doing anything with your day and it will make you feel great.
People generally "fall off the wagon" as they say when it comes to the weekends, they over indulge and lose the motivation to either train or be active. By planning activities in advance this will stop you from falling into this situation and you will be ahead of the game!
So the point of this post was to encourage people make Sundays FUN DAYS!
I will always plan to train on the weekend to help me keep focused and plan something fun for the Sunday, why don't you give it a try...you could go for a bike ride or try mountain climbing at a local centre, there is loads to do, use your imagination and enjoy yourselves.
Be Active, Have Fun, LIVE!!!
