CARDIO - Exercise Bike - 550 cals burned.
Find a distraction when working with the exercise bike, I have found that watching television or playing music really helps in the gym, in no time I had burned 550 cals. To date I have lost 8lbs in two weeks. Now I have raised the amount of cardio to 550 cals.
Two exercises in one
Try multi-tasking - While using the exercise bike, keep cycling and grab the weights, try thirty hammer curls each arm, that will keep your mind off watching the clock and will also give you a great workout.
Have a break then onto the next exercise for the day, approx one hour after your meal.

For today's training I mostly worked on my calfs, abs ,thighs, buns and biceps.
1. 40 - Calf Raises
2. 40 - Crunches
3. 100 cals burned - Exercise bike
4. 40 - Lunges with Dumbbells - 10kg
5. 10 x 2 sets 10kg - Hammer Curls.
Break
6. Gunnar Peterson's Workout with the gym ball.
Some people have already noticed a difference but have asked me why they are not losing weight, I have to admit that it's tough going all through the week with no rest and the dieting too. Lay off the suger, no soda, no chocolate, no cookies or crisps (potato chips) Stick to chicken, salmon,tuna,cod and turkey and 2 cups green veg or some brown rice and yams, that with a portein drink and water and you should see a difference. Of cause you can always have an orange which is a good fat burner and a great snack.
You're not going to see great results in weeks maybe months, so I've been told!
Keep training and dieting and think of that little dress you've had your eye on for the summer. (That's what keeps me going) - Take care. - Debs.

BUNS OF STEEL
Lunges.
These are done with holding a dumbbell in each hand. Place your feet approximately shoulder width apart. Hold your head up straight and keep your back straight. Step forward with one foot and bend that leg down until the thigh is parallel to the floor (in other words, the knee should stop short a few inches from touching the floor). Some people then step forward with the other foot, so that they are thus moving forward with giant strides. Other people first step back in a reverse move before stepping out with the other foot.

Exercise bike - 360cals burned (approx 1 hr with rests)
Elliptical trainer - 40cal burned (approx 10 mins)
Standing Calf Raise
Stand in a standing Calf Raise machine on the balls of your feet at a comfortable separation with your shoulders under the pads and your toes pointing forward.
Start with your heels down as far as possible in a good stretch. Keep your knees straight and stiff but not locked. Rise up onto the balls of your feet and squeeze, moving only at the ankles.
If you don't have access to or don't wish to use a calf machine for various reasons, calf raises can be done freestanding on just about anything raised up (e.g. stairs, blocks, books, etc.) or even from the floor.
They can be done one leg at a time as well. This is better if you are just starting out with calf work as you will be able to focus on working one leg at a time rather than both.
 
Don't forget, a slight burning is okay, if it hurts STOP!
Take care and have a great day! - Debs

What is a target heart rate?
Measuring your heart rate (beats per minute) can tell you how hard your heart is working. You can check your heart rate by counting your pulse for 15 seconds and multiplying the beats by 4.
The chart to the right shows the target heart rates for people of different ages. When you're just beginning an exercise program, shoot for the lower target heart rate (60%). As your fitness improves, you can exercise harder to get your heart rate closer to the top number (85%).
