Hi! Yesterday morning I broke one of my own rules, which is to not do the same workout routine on consecutive days. I did this fabulous yoga workout from Boho Beautiful (love you guys!) on Tuesday and I almost managed to do it entirely. But not quite, I got stuck a bit on the plank. So to make things right I did it again and managed it in its entirety without pause. YOOHOO!!!! So that is worth a post I think. I have lost about 0,5kg up to 1 kg (hard to determine) of belly fat in about 8 months. I don't have a 6-pack yet, but I think if I keep going on I might get there. And this is how I did it: I get up every morning at 6 am, unless it is weekend or day off when I get up at 8 or even 8:30, and I do a 10 or in the weekend 15 minute workout. Often I use yoga because I have a painful back and  I feel it helps but it can also be a cardio workout, a full body workout, a core workout, Pilates workout or whatever I can find on Youtube.  If the Internet is down again I

Hi! Since about half a year ago I started working out every day, early in the morning on working days (6 am) and a little later during weekends (8:30-9 am). For me it feels very good and I have seen an impressive result in losing persistent belly fat. I don't have that much of it, and I am not overweight, but until recently I always looked, like, 3 months pregnant. I have always had this, by the way, since I was a teenager, but it has not improved after having 2 children and even at the time that I was most well-trained (that would be when I was doing kickboxing 3 times a week) I would have this persistent little belly. Even when I was at my lowest weight, 47 kg (way too thin for my1.80 m) I still had it! But now I have lost most of it thanks to my daily workout routine. I am convinced that the reason for this: 1. The intensity of the 10 minutes exercise; 2. The variation in exercise. Another reason for my results, I thought, was exercising early in the morning. Because ins

Hi! I am going to do some research on whether the time of day that you workout makes a difference. Since about half a year ago I do my workouts first thing in the morning and it has been very effective for me. Not only can I see a clear difference in my body, not just my abs and belly but also my arms are pretty muscular now (compared to before, at least :)) thanks to all the planks and pushups. But also that I am improving without (to me it seems) a great effort. I did this workout this morning: Fast & Furious Abs workout and the great thing is, I did it some weeks ago and thought it pretty challenging. I could not do the side plank crunch and had to do the modification on one knee. This time around it was an ok workout but I thought: "Was that all?" when it was over, was tempted to do some extra work but didn't have the time, and I had no problem at all with the side plank crunches. Now THAT makes me motivated to continue! Here are some more abs wor
