Intake Lifestyle I myself was 15kg overweight, with high cholesterol, blood pressure, and pre-diabetic. I woke up daily with headaches and no energy?

So I decided to fix myself by taking inflammatory foods out of my diet, want to know how?

So 3 weeks into my skipping challenge I hit a roadblock with pulling my Achilles 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️
And on top of that to get the boxer steps and moves you need someone with you to train with as it’s not as easy as the ‘pros’ make it look!
So will re-visit in the spring once I’ve found the coach and it’s warmer in the morning to do a proper stretch and warm up before I start 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️🙌🙌

As part of my ambition to move everyday, I’ve decided to challenge myself on learning to skip aka ‘jump-rope’ properly boxer style with some “moves”🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Life is about setting yourself challenges and trying to improve and push yourself to try and learn new skills!

I can jump skip a bit, hence the pic, but I want to learn to do it properly!

Follow my progress (hopefully) on stories.

I’m publicly putting myself out there to keep me focused and accountable so I can’t back down or give up!

Everyone sometimes need an accountability partner to keep them “keen”!!😳

When in position with whatever you are leaning on, have your feet away from yourself and weight in your heels.

Keeping your elbows and arms tucked in by the side of your body.

Lower your body down smoothly keeping your upper body straight bending to 90o at the elbow.

Breathe in on the way down

Once you have reached the low point, engage the core, exhale and push up from the triceps.

Remember TUT time-under-tension.

Make the movement smooth and continuous to keep the triceps holding the weight on the way down and extending when pushing back up.

Once completed repeat for 30 seconds then move to next exercise

Once stronger move onto 1 minute sets and then move onto the next exercise.

Again like all these exercises this is a whole body workout with a ‘focus’ on the triceps.
As we get older our triceps become more and more important to us as these muscles enable us to push our body weight up, from chairs, tables or the floor.

There is so much focus on the ‘guns’ or the biceps, but it’s the triceps that give our arms shape and they are used in far more functions in mobility than the biceps

So we need to strengthen them and keep them strong.

Find yourself a ‘prop’ and lean back against it.
Here I’m using 2 chairs, which is a position when you have already built some strength.

You could have your feet on the floor and just use 1 chair.

Use a worktop in your kitchen

Your office desk

Your sofa?

Some stairs?

Anything where you can lean back and again use gravity ans your body weight as your resistance tool.

Our bodies were designed to MOVE everyday.

We need to find the time to do it.

So I’ve put together 6 compound exercises which work the whole body whilst focusing on a specific body part.

6 exercises

6 minutes

DONE✅

Find a ‘habit’ everyday to associate your exercise with, be it waiting for the shower, waiting for a kettle to boil, whilst the kids are eating breakfast?

Find the daily habit, give yourself 6 minutes and link your exercise to that habit , and do it everyday👊

There are many different ways to “advance” your plank.

Here is a 1 arm version whilst also incorporating an ‘exhaling’ exercise.
So as I exhale I engage the core and lift the trunk, trying to expel every last breath from your lungs you can feel your Abs crunching🙌🙌🙌

Amazing little extra push to work that core 👊

Planks are an amazing core exercise that also works the whole body 🙌

Start in a basic ‘push up’ position and lower down onto your elbows with your forearms out in front.

Your body weight is supported by your toes and your elbows and engage the core to ‘hold’ your bum and torso in a good straight line position.

No sagging towards the floor! 🤷‍♂️

And no bums in the air! 🤷‍♂️

Engage the abs and suck your tummy in and hold the alignment for 30 seconds.

If this is too hard at first drop the knees down and hold.

But keep the hips straight and hold the position.

Once stronger move to 1 minute and then onto next exercise.
