Day 6 – Week 1 – 1 minute
Well – I did get myself up at 6.00am after a night of fine red wine and conversation, but I decided it wasn’t really the done thing to be rummaging around in my host’s kitchen looking for a big tin of fruit to lift above my head.
So – I resorted to doing a minute of squats instead. Squats are very portable exercises and don’t take up much space. I highly recommend them for overnight trips outside of your own home.
And I have to say, my thighs are beginning to feel a little firmer. This is probably not due to the squats, but it is possible the tiny bouts on the bosu are beginning to have an effect. Or perhaps it was the hour and a half I spent on the back of a motorbike last night, as we drove through the rain to Whitstable. I’m kind of new to being a biker chick, and I may have been gripping the bike a little harder than is really required to stay onboard!
Anyway – main thing is – I managed to do my minute while away from my home comforts. That deserves a drink in itself!
Tomorrow – the last day of the one minutes. It gets tougher on Monday!
Enjoy your Saturday night,
Suzi

Day 2 – Week 1 – 1 minute
Harder to get out of bed this morning. Isn’t that crazy? I only have to get up and do one minute, yet still there is resistance. But after 15 minutes of arguing with myself, I managed to get myself into the bathroom, weighed myself (146 pounds, 66 kgs) and got changed.
Today I did one minute of arm work, with a small medicine ball.
The plan is to alternate between cardio one day, and other stuff (like push ups, abs, arm and leg strengthening, squats etc) on the next. That way we get a good balance.
Then in the shower, and back into bed with breakfast and a cup of tea feeling virtuous. Who knew just one minute could bring such pleasure!
