@melissa1989 I went downstairs and did it! Actually did extra…I asked myself what my least favorite exercise was and made myself do 3 sets! (Along with my usual leg stuff). Super happy now! I’ll refer to your post on lazy days!
Thanks!!
@nedlm10 Legs are the biggest muscles in your body, therefore they burn more calories when you move them. Burning more calories probably means more fat loss!
@nedlm10 Now I’m curious why you hate leg day, which is my favorite? I struggle to motivate for the other days!
Just remember that work-outs don’t have to be all or nothing. We’re human; life gets in the way sometimes & our energy fluctuates. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Anything you do is better than nothing- maybe you’ll just do a light day with some stretches today, and that’s OK!
@ghex Umm, I guess I hate leg day is because I feel like my abs, shoulders and back are so strong and look good; I get discouraged when I’m not getting the same result with my legs… I’ve come a loooog way in the past year, and I’m proud of myself, I’ll keep working on them!!
@sanj79 Yes, I’m using 15 pound weights and doing goblet squats and Bulgarian split squats. I follow some people on TikTok that have been really helpful.
@nedlm10 That makes sense bc I’m the opposite. I’ve been trying to improve in my ab/stomach/waist area, so if you have any tips, please share
I see from your other comments that you did it. Good on you! Your post actually motivated ME - I hate cardio & made myself go to the gym & did 35 minutes. Thanks!
@ghex 2 major things helped me immensely; doing the 3/12/30 treadmill workouts 3 times a week (sometimes 4 times a week). Speed on 3, 12 incline, for 30 minutes. I had to work my way up to it, I’d just lower the incline for a few minutes then climb it back up.
Second thing, kettlebell workouts for your core. You can find all kinds on TikTok or Facebook Reels. Now I mainly use 15 pound dumbbells and do core workouts.
I find everything on TikTok! (I never do old fashioned crunches- too hard on my back!
