A New Year, A new weight loss program

Well once again the Christmas gorgery has let me down once again. I put on half a stone over Christmas and I expect there is more to come. I am not worried though. I have managed to lose weight from undertaking kettlebell training and it was the only thing that has ever worked for me.

Today marked the first day of the new regime. I started off lightly as my body needs to get used to the exercise again but hope to be back into full training within two weeks. I am starting off with 15 minutes workout twice a day for the first two days, followed by 15 minutes every day for the next five days; followed by full workouts. The schedule should look a little something like this:-

Day 1 = 2 x 15 minutes (morning and evening)

Day 2 = As above

Days 3 - 7 = 15 minutes each day in the evening.

Day 8 = Full workout 60 minutes

Days 9 - 11 = rest

Day 12 = Full workout 60 minutes

Days 13 and 14 = rest

Day 15 = start days 8 to 15 again.

The above schedule is designed to ease the body into the full workout. The schedule following that is full workouts three times a week. The beauty about this schedule is that whilst your body has a kick start on the first two days it is allowed to adjust to the exercise over a course of a week. The timings for the workouts include stretching and warming up exercises before exercise begins and the stretching exercises afterwards.

I am going to work out how many calories each workout burns. I will post the results soon.
