I'm a personal trainer fyi :)

@chickypow Erin - You are awesome!! I just started the 21 Day Fix again today. I did it last summer for 3 rounds and lost right around 20 pounds and I don't remember how many inches. I felt awesome. And then I just stopped!! It was so hard to get up earlier once school started and I had to drive my daughter to school. I'd say I'd do it in the evening and I did every so often but then that stopped too. And then I started making poor eating decisions. And now I've gained back about 13 pounds and yuck!! I really want to start running but I have had bronchitis every winter for the last three or four years and I think my lungs are damaged. Any cardio just kills me!! How do I learn to breathe correctly when running??

 

I appreciate the advice. TY!

 

Do you have any recommendation for any iPhone apps (preferably Apple watch compatible) that have gym workout plans so that you have a "to do list" when you head into the gym?

 

I'm going to try your "basic plan." Maybe this will get me moving.

 

Thanks Erin!!

 

Erin - I really appreciated your messages and I finally came off that plateau Mountain I was on and am 4 pounds away from onederland which I have not been at for at least 15 years.

 

Erin @chickypow - how sweet it this from you to offer help!

I gave birth to my second child last August and I still can't get rid off those kilograms I gained during pregnancy.. I am a sweets addict but I try to avoid them now, I drink more, eat more often and I started to walk 5k to 13k a day, it depends on the program I have . that is the only acceptable excersize for me at the moment.. I don't have time to excersize regularly and I guess I don't have a strong will.. I always start something but it won't last long.. Is walking enough, as an excersize if I need to take off some weight? and if I actually would want to work out, how many times a week and how long? I'd need to strenghten the body for sure..

thank you so much in avdance..

 

that would be great! you're awesome Erin, thank you ♥

thank you so much Erin! I already downloaded this and will check it out

 

Thanks for all the tips! I don't have any questions as such, but I've had a read of this thread and found it very useful I have struggled with my weight since I gave up smoking 12 years ago. I've yo- yoed a bit since then, but I am now at my heaviest ever so I have bought myself a cross trainer, which is arriving on Thursday! I'm planning to use it every day, but I shall take your advice and start slowly

Thanks again.

 

@chickypow Ooh, I just saw this thread, thank you for this.
I am only 1 week post partum but thinking ahead. What do you recommend for toning up all the muscles? Especially abs, I want to lose most of the weight first though. Also any other exercises I can do that are good. I am totally clueless! Thank you!
