I've been popping into Asda after Saturday gym training, as it's just around the corner and the Cream Slices are so tempting the way they squeeze together with that lovely cream going all over my fingers. I'm getting quite excited.... but no I want to attack the muffin top. If only I knew how to reduce my bodyfat percentage (suspect its in double figures)

Supposedly some sort of high impact training does the job. It was on Horizon or some such not too long ago. I gave it a try for a couple of weeks and mixed it with some weights. I did star jumps. They use pretty much all your muscles and get your heart going. It seemed to be working. But then I got major munches and an obsession with home made rice pudding made with extra thick double cream. Which I can testify definitely makes you gain weight.

So are your fingers sticky now?

Just had a great long weekend.
Saturday was my daughter's third birthday party and with 13 happy kids running round our garden it went really well. Fun was had.
Next day we had a nice picnic in a local park with games and lots of running around paying silly buggers.
Next day a trip to a local farm shop/kiddies zoo with an easter egg hunt, feeding the pigs, go-carts and trampolines.



Back to work today.

RDLs and good mornings have made it into my routine, unfortunately my shoulder isn't up for bent pressing or windmills just yet.

Oh, and getting your mum to do kettlebells is very cool!

i'm actually using the bent press to re-stabilize my shoulder, though. since the KB has the weight on top of my forearm extensors, it increases involvement of whichever muscles pull my arm in the opposite direction to the one in which the shoulder subluxes. might be worth looking into, even if only with really light weight at first. you can also use just the basic motion of the high windmill but without weight, since for hamstring stretching you just need the hip joint angle (which would make it a dynamic stretch). or you could do low windmills, but those have reduced range of motion and are therefore fail.

At the moment they take my shoulder through the 'EEK' point ROM - clicking, twinges and pain - so I'm avoiding the weighted version, I may think about the unweighted version in my next workout plan (possibly on conditioning days).

It's funny you say that as I was sipping a cup of tea around 7pm I looked out my living room window and wondered what a group in white hoodies were doing in the small park just opposite me. The view is obscured by trees but after a while I could see a group of women doing KB swings (and a bunch of other exercises). Dunno if part of some fitness group or just friends, the matching tops was a bit odd though. I'm not saying I'm a trendsetter or anything but last year I occasionally went out into that park and did an assortment of KB exercises
