30 Day Shake Challenge Posts Are Now In One Place

Find future posts involving my shake challenge, health and nutrition tips, fitness tips and healthy recipes at:

30 Day Shake Challenge

Five blogs with the same post and changing of the tags and categories for each one is getting a bit time consuming.
So, Day 19 to 21 and all future posts will now be posted to just one of the blogs. The link will be posted on all blogs as a last post, just incase anyones following them.

Notes:  
I was feeling a bit drained, hence the sleep in.  My Calves feel better now.  Still planning a workout tomorrow to replace Fridays missed session.  I think I slipped up today with what I ate.  I’ve not eaten chips or bread for 3 weeks and the other half comes in the door with my favourites of both – so I had a bit of each!  EEEK!  Wii Fit said my BMI was down more this morning so that’s probably been cancelled out now with todays binge lol.  We’ll see Tuesday, maybe I can turn it around by then!  Fingers crossed!  Wish me luck…

Thermo Bev x 2 250ml  
Tea 1 x cup  

Exercise:   
Walking 2 x 30 min
Wii Fit 23 min 181 cal
Davina’s Super Fit section – half of which was the low impact moves – 25 min
Davina’s Super Sculpt section – focused on the weights/arms, didn’t do the floor/mat work – 20 min

Notes:  
Workouts mentioning Davina were taken from her “Super Body Workout” DVD.  I think it’s safe to say I ache a little today, my aim was to focus on just my back and arms for this afternoons workout, as I worked on my legs yesterday… BUT I wanted to try out one of three of my “Davina” workout DVD’s – which FYI I’ve had for like a year and I’d not used them!  At least they all have the helpful “low impact” moves available for the same workout, so I didn’t work my legs too much.  I can’t imagine how sore my knees and ankles would be if I had done the regular or “advanced” moves… ouchie! lol :-)

I’m happy with the fact I made time for two separate workouts, and I know I’m going to feel it tomorrow! :-) I’ll just have to work on another are, probably arms and posture.  It was also my other half’s birthday, of which he just lounged around for most of the day – but I wouldn’t stoop to that! :-p He got his workout in during the evening, he’s just joined a “work" football team, so that will keep him busy twice a week.

Lucy Benjamin’s Dancercise - Workout DVD Review

LBDC

I’ve had this DVD for about 3 years and it is one of my favourite workouts.  I love the dance moves, and it’s broken down into three sections, to make it easier for beginners to get a hold on the moves.  Obviously, at the end, all three sections are put together. The warm-up section has some good moves too. 

This DVD, in my opinion, doesn’t include advanced moves, so anyone could include it into their workout schedule.  The music flows well, it’s not in your face dance music of today or stuck in the 80’s.  The moves include the grapevine, kick-ball-change, the mamba, the V-step and the cha cha cha.

I, personally, usually go for dance aerobic workout DVDs as I’m very much into dancing.  People who don’t like to dance or find it hard to get a “rhythm” going, it may take some getting use to.  On the other hand, non-dancers may want to try something more to their liking.
