<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-10134" src="https://konniemoments.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/de67ea_3587f3dd4e364785b101c59f76077826.jpg" alt="de67ea_3587f3dd4e364785b101c59f76077826" width="290" height="215" /></p>
<p><b><span style="color:#0000ff;">Mental focus and discipline is our goal. One day at a time.</span></b></p>
<h3><span style="color:#993366;"><i>&#8220;&#8230;focusing on the fact that there is no replacement for a broken body, so we will concentrate on fixing what is broken and preventing further deterioration, finding balance and joy in the simple things of life.&#8221;</i></span></h3>
<h2> Confession is good for the soul, so here goes</h2>
<p>Not an SME (subject matter expert), not a fitness expert neither am I a dietitian. I&#8217;m still trying to work through the snares of food and not being consistent exercising and the resultant effect. Just using common sense and research. I love food and love exercising after I get over the initial bumps, aches of exercising after long lay off.<br />
This should be an interesting journey hopefully with you &#8216;ll by my side working at it and providing the necessary support, feedback, recipes &#8230;.<br />
As mentioned inthe post for day 1, we will be documenting our activities and uploading &#8230;&#8230;<br />
The food factor: Exercising is good but watching and cleaning up and food intake is 80% of the work.<br />
Today&#8217;s suggestion, weight training for 30 mins. This quickens the process dramatically.<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-10131" src="https://konniemoments.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/img_1997.jpg" alt="img_1997" width="680" height="510" /></p>
<h2>Do NOT skip this section!</h2>
<p>Before you start the beginner strength training workouts, you need to know a few important things first.</p>
<p>Don’t Get Too Sore. Some soreness is okay, and likely to occur. Don&#8217;t go too hard early. Get Stronger. Want to lose fat and keep it off and build a “toned” body? Fantastic! But to ensure that happens you need to improve your performance (i.e. get stronger) each time you repeat a workout (this should lead to quick results)<br />
Take small steps and check in here every day. Move at your pace and take things 30mins a time each day. We will do a check on days 15, 21 the 30.<br />
This is not a lecture so we&#8217;ll stop here. Work out with weights every other day. Have replenishing meal or drink right after your work out. Below is a suggested schedule for working out with weights.<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-10133" src="https://konniemoments.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/beachbody-blog-which-better-diet-exercise.jpg" alt="beachbody-blog-which-better-diet-exercise" width="680" height="340" /></p>
<p>Week 1<br />
Monday – Workout 1<br />
Wednesday – Workout 2<br />
Friday – Workout 1<br />
Week 2<br />
Monday – Workout 2<br />
Wednesday – Workout 1<br />
Friday – Workout 2<br />
If you don&#8217;t have weight&#8217;s use two make shift items from you pantry of equal weight to simulate dumb bells. They will still work<br />
Today workout with weights, no weight? No problem. Go for a walk</p>
<p><i><strong>See ya tomorrow&#8230;</strong><br />
