I get a lot of requests for more cardio, and I know my followers are at many different levels of fitness, so here’s another leveled workout like the first one I did. The workouts get more intense as the level goes up, so find one you can do and move up as they get easier for you. Make sure you keep water nearby!

Would be great to try and do all of them if I have a free hour or two.

Weight loss is a weird thing, because when your goal weight is far away you have this model mentality about being skinny, and then once you get there, you’ve still got the same body type you had before, its just…smaller.

The further I get from the biggest I was, its harder to remember how far I’ve come, and therefore easier to get discouraged about my shape, if that makes any sense. Not to say I don’t think I’m a total babe at least like, 95% of the time, but occasionally I fall victim to the constant onslaught of images of tiny tiny women that we’re all subjected to daily.

Maintenance is a weird place to be in, because even though I could go down a bit, and could tone up a bit (and am hoping to do so) not much is going to change from here as far as overall size and shape goes. Which is weird and hard to wrap my brain around. It’s not always the easiest to feel 100% okay with being on the curvier end of healthy. 

I’ve spent this morning looking at old photos of myself, there arent a ton of me at my biggest (because I was the saddest ever and avoided cameras like the plague) but I scrounged up some before and after pictures, and I’m gonna post em here, because I think its good to remind myself of where I’ve been, and how far I’ve come, especially on days where I’m feeling a bit discouraged. Because at the end of the day, I’m healthier and happier than ever, and a few photos of skinny ladies on tumblr shouldnt take that away from me.  

“Weight loss is a weird thing, because when your goal weight is far away you have this model mentality about being skinny, and then once you get there, you’ve still got the same body type you had before, its just…smaller.”

Yes, this so much! You get this picture of what you want to be, thinking weight loss will yield results similar to it, only you end up looking just like you did before, only smaller. Where my fat is distributed is still the same. The proportions are the same. It takes a lot of mental strength to tell yourself to be rational. 

Unrelated, but you are a fox.

Inspiring. Both of you :3

Get Fit With Me: "Unleash The BEAST" 1000 Rep Weekend Workout Challenge

fitvillains:

Weekend Workout! Unleash The Beast - 1000 rep challenge!

This is a serious fat burning workout, and it’s MUCH tougher than it looks! The exercises are fairly basic, but you should perform them as quickly and deeply as possible. Do not sacrifice proper form for speed.

lets-do-this:

When performing any abdominal exercise, always remember: quality over quantity!!!
In a standard crunch, don’t just bob your head up and down a hundred times.. lift your shoulder blades off the ground, your head and chest moving up and forward slightly so that your abs literally CRUNCH together. Squeeze HARD at the top, making sure to exhale on each rep. They should BURN by 15 reps.. if they don’t.. you are either doing them wrong or you need to add resistance. Keep them SLOW and CONTROLLED.

Hallelujah, amen.

Great tip!!
