Last Week In Pictures

Happy Monday!

I think I'll start doing this once in a while, - I'm quite active on Instagram and sometimes duplicate the pictures and posts here.

Other times, I don't think they're good enough to be stand-alone blog posts so grouping a week's worth of post should work better.

MONDAY
I posted this on Monday, full of positivity for the week... if you know me personally, you should know I'm a cynic *sigh* but that's a story for another day (or never). But last week, I woke up inspired and ready to make changes that I'd been procrastinating about. We keep saying we'll make changes but "life gets in the way"(my most common excuse)... I didn't want to do the same last week so starting the week by declaring to the world (okay people who follow me on IG, Twitter and Facebook) it was going to be GREAT, helped me believe it more.



TUESDAY
On Tuesday, I took part in the 7am Fitter London class (I actually did a blog post on this HERE) and I haven't done any kind of running in AGES. We started off with a 5-10 minute jog, then did many sets of sprints, before jogging back to the gym. We finished off with heavy kettlebell drills. I wasn't very excited about jogging or sprinting before we started but after the class, I was so glad I did. It's so funny (bearing in mind my cynic status) but this inspired me to post the above, and also be a little more daring and a few hours later, I had the idea for my new class (see below).

Re: your healthy goals, both exercise and diet, if you've been doing the same thing for a while and are either bored or not seeing as much progress as you used to, it's time to make a change. Try cutting down (or out) something that you've been advised to but just don't want to. Or do exercise that's way out of your comfort zone eg sprints because there's nothing like HIIT (high intensity interval training) to help burn fat! Strength training, a spin class, *wink*
WEDNESDAY
Yep! Inspired by how my week started, I decided to put this out there no matter how nervous I was. I'm glad I did! This class officially starts on Saturday (although I did a test run over the weekend!) 10th August, and if you haven't registered, do that NOW.
THURSDAY
August 1st! Inspired by the week's progress and my challenge in May (-->READ HERE<--), I decided to set myself a few challenges which I'll start posting this week :) It's going to be a GREAT month!

On FRIDAY, I posted an InstaVideo from my Fitter London 7am class, watch it HERE.

SUNDAY
Saturday was a very long day so I forgot to post! Sunday's post was actually Saturday's, the test run of my new class went well and I had a green smoothie (chia seeds, spinach, cucumber, banana, lemon and a slice of lemon, with the skin) post workout.

I didn't post this on IG but I did on my Facebook page, and had to share it with here too... still on the positive and inspired train:


One more thing, the Get Trimmer Challenge starts in exactly one week.
It is an online program, so it's available anywhere. If you're having difficulty paying via Paypal, send me an email :)

Have a great week and if you're on Instagram, follow me: @Adura_O.

Wow, you are super fit. This has spurred me to get my running shoes on.
