Exercise Tips: Fifteen Top Tips For Running For Rubbish Runners

September 6, 2011

Last week I blogged about what a rubbish runner I am and how its to my advantage when I'm trying to lose or maintain my weight.  There are tonnes of tips out there from good runners, but hows about some tips from a rubbish runner?  After all, I know how tough it can be, whereas a good runner has probably taken it all for granted! If I'm a rubbish runner, you might wonder why I do it?  Well apart from it being great for my weight, it is also 30 minutes with no kids, dogs, or husband,...

Exercise Tips: Why It’s Great If You Are A Rubbish Runner

August 26, 2011

Having been tricked into a competition to see if I could lick my elbow by the cruel MADs Blog Awards organiser Sally Whittle (check it out, because you can get a ticket to the awards ceremony or a goodie bag if you pick how many people managed the challenge), she cruelly described me thus ... "Lisa, from the Mummy Whisperer, has failed to submit any moments of athletic glory. Draw your own conclusions from this!" Sadly, it's true.  My athletic qualifications were always a bit rubbish....

Weight Loss: Exercise

July 4, 2011

Ok, so if you haven't added exercise into your weight loss regime yet, then now is definitely time for it.  But what I suggest might not be what you expect, bearing in mind I'm aiming for HEALTHY, FIT and SLIMMER (with a dash of sexier!) The thing is I'm over 40, the body is doing really well after 2 kids, but it isn't quite what it was.  Plus I watched my mother spend the last 5yrs of her life in a wheel chair, not because of an accident or illness, but because she didn't 'use it', she ...

Exercise Tips

These are the blog posts that initially birthed the free chapter on how to lose weight in my sparkling book, which due to it’s popularity I realised should be a book in it’s own right.  Feel free to check them out.  They will be more polished in the book and there will be extra bits, but I’ll also be adding new tips or clever products in my blog that help when I find them.

A few months into my weight loss, I decided to up the anti and add some exercise.

Remember my priority is first to be healthy, then fit, and only then slimmer.

So as it’s slightly different and I plan on trying all sorts of exercises, then I thought I would add a specific page to record all the blog posts.

But first my rules!

1) Don’t exercise too soon after giving birth – I’m talking at least 6 weeks, and only then with help.  Probably more like a few months, unless you are just looking at light walking.  Maybe even longer if you had a caesarian.  Get a doctors or professionals opinion.

2) Don’t do too much jumping up and down stuff when you are pregnant (get advice).  Think of your insides like a plastic bag with tins in it; bang them up and down too much and the bag breaks, and your bladder gets affected!

3) Stop freaking out about the baby weight!  It will go, but sometimes there are more important things in life, or you are just too exhausted for it to really matter.

4) Don’t run if you are overweight, that is what walking is for.  It’ll just be a couple of months of waiting.

5) Remember that when you are old and grey it is your ability to stand up straight, walk, and be flexible that will determine how fit you are.  So if you do nothing else consider these exercises first:

  1. Dancing
  2. Walking
  3. Swimming
  4. Yoga
  5. Pilates
6) Mix types of exercise.  That way you will reduce the likelihood of injury.  Sticking to just one form will not get you the balanced health and fitness I’m after for you.
.
7) ALWAYS warm up and cool down with no exception
.
8) ENJOY it.  There is too little time in this world to be doing something you hate!
