First Post
Hello all,
I hope this is ok to post here, I've read through a few threads and the info section and thought this might be the best place.
Basically:
I started following the s&s programme over a week ago with an 8kg (highest I currently have and getting a 12kg in the next couple of weeks). I follow the s&s routine every day. I also do 1 min 30 sec plank every day. sometimes do some pilates/yoga etc
A few weeks before I started I was able to travel to a kettlebell class and practice KB swings and my hip hinges etc and do Get ups with low weight with instructors to check my form.
I am able to do the 5 x 10 as one handed swings and the all the Get Ups with no wobbliness with the 8kg.
I'm wondering what other routines or moves, if any, would be recommended to add in to support increasing general fitness and weight loss, aside from simply progressing with the s& s routine?
I'm 39.
No medical conditions or injuries.
I'm 5ft 3 and just over 14st, but don't look it and much smaller in terms of physical size. it's just all compact but i want for health reasons to be fitter, stronger and slimmer than i am.. as optimally healthy as i can.
so i have a good few stones to lose at least. However it is the fat loss I'm more focused on as opposed to the scales. I recognise I have a lot of inches to lose around my waist and hips in particular.
I have always been strong, or sturdy and used to work outdoors but last few years have seen me pretty sedentary, still eating like i'm working outdoors.
I don't play any sport or take part in any competitions.
I have pared back my eating habits. Generally a fairly low carb plan with mostly clean eating as I usually cook from scratch.
Anything I do has to be based around home/garden environment (due to work, looking after children and living very rurally). I have my Kettlebells and a stationary exercise bike.
Would you recommend that I should be looking to incorporate another set of basic routines or a moves with Kettlebells?
or a different type of exercise entirely?
Any thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks for your time.
Kate
