It's the end of the challenge and today felt like some sort of holiday. I am glad this holiday was on a Saturday because it gave me a reason to do general cleaning and laundry. At the same time, I had enough rest. I stepped out in the evening to allow the sunset to touch me a bit. I returned home to lie down and feel a rush of gratitude for how everything turned out.
Apart from the feeling of observing a holiday, there is this feeling of a new beginning forming in my heart. I feel as though something new is about to happen and that I have been preparing all along for its occurrence. I feel prepared, overly prepared if I must add. I have no idea what it is going to be but I am optimistic it will turn out for the best.
My friend @b0s had already asked that I stick to the exercise routine to maintain my new body. And I told him it was part of the plan. Of course, I mentioned right before the end of the challenge that I have fallen in love with the fitness routine and I ain't planning to stop.
Someone I hadn't seen for 100 days or so, saw me recently and exclaimed that I had added weight. I smiled because I wasn't adding weight, I was only using the challenge to work my muscles. And what I noticed is that if I stopped, my body returns to its original form and I have no idea why. This is one of the reasons I do not want to stop.
It's worthy of note that this happened when I was concentrating on the butt exercise alone. The moment I changed to the full-body exercise, I noticed, that I still maintained my original shape. I haven't tried stopping the exercise for one week like we did the last time though. So, I can't tell if the whole body exercise helps maintain my figure with or without the routine.
It's okay though. Maybe, as I progress, I'll try a one-week-no exercise, and see. There is one other exercise that has been added to the routine, it's brisk walking. This one I can only do with my new friend, who isn't available at the moment. Once he returns, I'll convince him to let us have a routine.
Again, he knows how to swim and I don't. Apart from the fun, this is part of another exercise routine. If I am not mistaken it's supposed to help with the abs. For someone who desires a permanent flat tummy, I would jump at the offer to learn to swim. I'll talk about this one with him as well.
All in all, "health is wealth", this has been my favorite quote and it hasn't changed. Everyone should be aware that they wouldn't be able to enjoy the fruits of their labor if their health isn't a priority. And exercising is one of the ways to improve one's health. But then @saun is right about exercising with moderation
Analysis shows that even moderate exercise throughout the day has several healthful benefits. If you can’t appear to induce impelled to exercise daily, you must notice a less intense, however physical, activity you get pleasure from many times per week. Effect of exercise on your body temperature will shock you!
I have been here and I remember how I couldn't lift my body for a few days because I was super excited about the app. And I ended up overdoing it, it was too intense for my body who was just starting on the usage of that app.
Whatever routine you choose, be careful about being intense at the beginning. Give yourself time to get accustomed to the workout and you'll have your body thank you for it. Happy weekend.

Oh wow
Now this is what gets me buzzing. I'm going to try out this app ASAP. I think I'm bored with mine. Is that possible? To be bored with your workout app? 😂
😂😂😂😂😂 this girl I didn't want to reply to comments yet on this post but I couldn't by pass your response 😅😅😅
I know I have been bored with mine more times than you could possibly imagine. What I do is I switch the routine 😅😅
Hehe. I'm honored. You switch routine with the app? I just downloaded it. Trying to understand how it works. Deleted my previous app. Been four years together with that thing. And it was a nasty breakup...
Oh jeez... This girl and the way she forms relationship with objects and characters 😂😂
Sorry about your break up ooo, I hope you are done crying 😅
I change routine.... I mean change the workouts... Like I started with the full body exercise when I got the app, got bored along the way, I changed it to abs workout, then switch back to the full body when I got my energy back. I have been alternating it like that.
This week, I am thinking I'll do the butt work out since that's exclusively for butt. And it's not because I am bored with the other ones, it's only because my tummy is almost gone, and I need to maintain or probably increase my butt muscles somehow.
Ahhh. I do them all respectively 😂
Since i give myself about two hours in workout... Sha. These days it's in the evenings
Hehehehe.... More grace to you babe... 😂😂
I usually feel one part will suffer if I suddenly dump it for the next.... I don't even know how to balance it yet 😩🤦
wow!
so good to see and read this, so much effort in here. I do hope to begin a workout session so I could loose my tummy fat and get back that my flat tummy I had before becoming a mum but i trust to abide to your warnings of not over-doing it.
I wish you the best ma'am. Please take care of your body... It's important. Say me well to your family ❤️❤️
can we start counting down to the loading incoming summer body? 🙃
Hahaha... Surely you should 😂
Its a countdown already ! 😁😁
And she's on it, ASAP. 😉
I best believe that .

If you were working out to reduce weight, why that someone said that you have added the wait.
I also worked out for a month but then i quit because of Ramadan. I hope I will start doing it again.
I was also thinking of someone to partner me while I jog, but that someone won't ever be ready. He would like to sleep at that time as he already has enough running and walk during his work hours. Lol. So I cannot think of going out of the premises of my home. Our environment is not very much welcoming for such activities for women( I mean joggin on the streets), and there is no park near by.
Well, I am so proud of you, Iska. You never leave the things incomplete and that's the quality of a successful peson.
God bless you 💖
No Amber, I wasn't trying to reduce weight. As a matter of fact I love my present body. I only worked out first for health benefits and secondly to tone some muscles in areas like my arms, legs, butt, abs, etc.
Hahaha.... Sorry about your workout partner... That's why I wanted to partner with my new friend too.... My area is not safe for women too so his presence will take a bit of the fears away.
Here she goes again with her motivating, encouraging, inspiring, and flattering words🥺 ..... Thanks alot ma'am 🙈❤️❤️
flattering......! 😲😯
Ooooohh! So you want to take a look of action movies heroines....! Hmmmmmm! 🤔😂😂
🤣🤣🤣. Yeeeeesssssss..... I'm I going too far 🥺
Yes of course. ☺️☺️
This girl is letting me cry 😥😭😜😛
