Day 1

Finally got to open this app and Lord! I thought I would pass out! I am at the most out-of-shape that I have ever been.

From the first workout, 30-second jumping jacks, I was panting like someone that just ran a marathon. Felt like the rest times weren’t long enough for my lazy bones… 😁😁

My body still hates crunches, my thighs were protesting and my heart was riding wildly in my chest. I was also out of breath a lot!

The good thing is;

It only took 19 minutes
I had ample rest time
It ended with some stretching poses
It also has some yoga poses.

Bad things or (not so bad things);

I sooo wanted to quit, ergo, lazy bones!🙊
I had to be my own motivation. (The robotic text-to-speech was pissing me off but is needed for the timer)

Next update coming up soon!

Day 2

Woke up with slight pain in my abdomen region. Those horrible crunches are just out to get me! So, started with the workout and I’m still out of breath.

I noticed that I can keep up with the exercises a little better now but I feel dizzy and have to close my eyes to do some workouts. I also pulled my left calf. Will find something to soothe the pain.

Exercises that are out to get me;

Clapping crunches
Reclined oblique twists

Who knows what my belly will feel like tomorrow?

Day 3

Had to drag myself off the bed and give myself good reasons why not quitting the workout is a good idea (I will finally be able to rock that crop top), I just wanted to get some shut eye. Anyway, I found out, today, that I am getting better with the crunches. At least the bicycle crunches are not so evil.

My breath… slightly better than it was. I still struggle with a few of the exercises. The upper part of my abdomen seems to be getting its workout but the lower part… I dunno yet. Well, this is just day 3 so we still have a lot of time to work out those issues.

I also learnt that learning how to properly do these exercises or take some positions makes it easier and safer. Doing it wrongly or putting too much pressure on a wrong part of your body can lead to very serious pain.

Tomorrow is rest day so I’d have the day off. See you on day 5!

Day 5

Today was quite rejuvenating seeing as I had the whole of yesterday as a rest day. The exercises became easier to keep up with and there were some new ones like the dead bug. I also found out that I am one side dominant.

What this means is that when doing alternating exercises { your right hand and left leg in a pair and vice versa}, I find it very easy to do one side than to do the other. Maybe its just a me thing or maybe it is everybody.

I also found out that I am doing some of the exercises wrong and had to adjust it. On to the next day!

Day 6

People, welcome to another day of me cursing clapping crunches. I really cannot kill myself. I don’t think I presently hate any exercise more than the clapping crunches. I am even more comfortable with the long arm crunches than the clapping crunches.

One more thing. For your sanity and body happiness, get a yoga mat for all the floor exercises as doing it on the hard, cold, and unyielding ground early in the morning is not funny. There was this new exercise on the app today. The side leg raises. It felt like my bones were being punished because as I raised my legs, they were being continuously pushed and moved against the ground.

Why didn’t I buy one before starting? Well, it is because I couldn’t afford it (plain broke) and also didn’t want to give myself any excuses not to start. I also did not think I would need it seeing as the exercises were supposed to be possible without equipment. I had already postponed working out due to sheer laziness for the longest time. I eventually learnt that if you want to start something, whether working out or a business, all the conditions are rarely ever in place. So you can and should start today. See you tomorrow!

Day 7

Hey guys. Its been a whole week working out and nothing felt like today. Maybe except the first day, but today felt like I was really working out my abdomen to the fullest. My exercises were combinations of flutter kicks, leg raises and lower abdomen-focused workouts and I absolutely loved it. Yeeah… Maybe not total love, more of a love/hate relationship but it was great.

Tomorrow is another rest day but with today’s workout, it felt like I was finally getting into the workout. The week was probably spent trying to loosen me up and get my very erratic breathing under as much control as it can be but it worked out.

I am so psyched for the new week and can’t wait to get started. I would love for my pooch to finally start reducing.

See everyone in Week 2!
