For the next two weeks I'm following a low cal/low fat 'detox' programme (Fat Flush Plan, Phase 1), and strenuous exercise is not advised. In fact, apart from a brisk 20 minute walk 5 times a week, along with some daily rebounding, it is actively discouraged - though weight training is encouraged once you reach your goal.

However, there is no way I'm going to stick to just walking and rebounding. Apart from HIIT, I'm planning on carrying on as normal.

Apart from my usual power walking, I'm going to follow a Body Sculpting Bible FBWO twice a week, with a Body Pump class thrown in for good measure.

I've got a rebounder, so I'll bounce on that for five minutes a day as recommended. The brisk walk will be what I do when walking the dog, and I'm also going to be doing a Pilates class this week, and possibly a Yoga class.





So, today:

30 minutes power walking on treadmill, walking at 4mph using the Incline Interval Training Programme, alternating every two minutes between a slight incline and a steep one. Followed by a 5 minute cool down, plus stretching.

5 minutes on rebounder
Brisk walking with dog (approx 45 minutes)

I had planned a BSB FBWO today, but the weather is so good here today that it would have been a shame to spend inside in the gym!

Later: 5 minutes on rebounder

Hey galatia ... thanks for stopping by, and thanks also for your lovely comment about my avatar

As for the something new, well the plan was to do a Body Sculpting Bible FBWO twice a week, along with a coupel of Body Pump classes, but I'm afraid that it seems to have taken a back seat because of the weather.

However, I really MUST stop doing that and get back to some serious lifting. So, starting over the weekend, that's just what I intend to do!

OK, bad news .. no weight training for the time being!

Saw my doctor this morning because my left shoulder and wrist are still playing up, and I'm getting fed up with the constant pain.

I’m now not allowed to go anywhere near any weights, until this is sorted out. This also includes Body Pump classes, and anything else that involves putting stress on the shoulder or wrist.

In the meantime, I have to go back to see him next week for cortisone injections and he has referred me to a physio.

I have been meaning to start the Couch-to-5K running programme, so this might be a good time to go for it, while I rest my shoulder and wrist.

Hi Demi,

Don't be too disheartened. I know it feels good but sometimes your body just needs to rest and heal. Resting is great for your body too - good for you looking after it

I've been thinking about the C25K challenge too! But I've been procrastinating starting. Let us know how you go if you decide to do it

OK, I decided to start the C25K today!

For the time being, I will be doing my C25K workout on the treadmill, as it's easier to keep a track of timings etc.

C25K Week 1, WO 1

Brisk five-minute warmup walk. Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes.

My walking pace was 4mph and my running pace was 5mph, and I covered 1.75 miles (2.8km). I finished with a 5 minute cool down at 3mph, followed by a stretching session.


I'm happy with my walking pace being quite fast, as I'm used to going at quite a fast pace because of all the power walking I do. I've decided though, that I need to keep to a fairly slow running pace to start with.

I remember that the last time I tried the C25K challenge, I thought that my running pace should be faster because my walking pace was so fast, and tried running at 6+mph ... a complete disaster, which caused me to give up after a few weeks because I was finding it too tough and it was really hurting my shins.

Today was much easier at the slower pace ... but it could also be that I'm also a lot fitter this time around too!
