I've had a very bad internet connection these past few days so I wasn't able to post anything on here. Here it was bank holidays so I got to spend time with family and rested a lot. Tomorrow I'll be doing a cardio session to eliminate that week-end bloating of mine! Here are some pictures I didn't post before, from my last photo session with Solen

Strength session

Cardio session

Here are the total burned cals for both my session of yesterday. For the strength part I really had a lot of fun and I did a circuit because once you wrote it down you can completely focus on muscles instad of guessing what you'll do next. So it went like this:

Squats / 12kg / 20 reps

Barbell Good Mornings / 12kg / 20 reps

Static lunges / 12kg / 10 reps per leg

Repeat 4 times

Squats / 18kg / 20 reps

Barbell Good Mornings / 18kg / 20 reps

Static lunges / 18kg / 10 reps per leg

Repeat 3 times

Then I went on and did:

Glute bridge on Swiss Ball with 5 kg plate / 20 reps / 3 sets

Side Cross Lunges, no weight / 10 reps per leg / 2 sets

I am really happy today cause I'm sore a little and for me, that is the ultimate proof I didn't work in vain. I feel sore in the quads, hams, glutes, and a little more in the area where the glute meets the hamstring. Leg day achieved!!

As my sprain is much less hurting, I will do biceps curls and arms exercises today so keep reading !

I also wanted to talk about sauna pants: most are made of neopren or any other non-breathable fabric, and make the temperature raise in here!! It allows to to get rid, little by little, of the water that could be stagnating in your skin, smoothes the skin and really erase cellulite (again, it takes some time). I got mine for my birthday, so almost a month I wear it for all my trainings, and I can really tell my skin is so soft, I almost have no cellulite left (yes I had some) and I really helped tightening my legs!

So for any girl needing an extra help to define their body because the workouts aren't enough, kick your water retention out by wearing sauna pants! you can even find waist straps if your weak area is stomach. I got mine for less than 20$ and it is my best investment so far! I wish you all a very good and active day!

Yesterday I did not have a very good "fitness" session, I mean a very short one, because I really wanted to emphasize on cardio. I just did a few shoulder exercises which gave me a little pump and a little soreness in the morning. The session went as following:

Upright Row 12kg 20 reps

//superset//

Hamstring curls on swiss ball 10 reps

Repeat x3

Upright Row 12kg 20 reps

//triset//

Barbell press 12kg 15 reps

//triset//

Push ups 10 reps

Repeat x3

When I do supersets or trisets I almost never take any rest between sets, and I never ever take rests during the sets. The aim here is to exhaust the muscle to really make it work so if it burns, go on!

After that I did a good cardio session (1h) and an additionnal 30 minutes after work.

Loads of Love !!

Monday Motivation - Weekly Goal

My last week on Instagram @fitsporate.beyondlimits

I hope everyone out here had a very nice week-end!! I had three super nice days as we had a bank holiday here. On Friday night me and my boyfriend went to the restaurant, a cosy one with little rooms and spaced tables and you talk of every thing 'til late in the evening.. Adorable.

Yesterday we laid in the sun for to hours, and now my hams and calves are bloody red with sunburns! #whiteskinproblems

SO! let's get to the point now :) my goal for this week is to make it to 20 push-ups in a row as my previous PR was 17 . So it's not an amazing goal in itself, as some decide to go from 220 to 250lbs at squatting, and I'm here talking bout push-ups.... hey! yes but it is my goal, as you set yours, and even the littlest goals will lead you to bigger ones.

I also want to imrpove my cardio so I'll be spinning a bit after every session + 30 minutes in the evening.

I really believe I am currently having the best time of my life so far, and I want to enjoy it so much, I don't want to miss a thing. I guess this is the best motivation, when it comes from inside you. Because we all are capable of doing great things but we are scared, in doubt, or we're not self-confident enough. It's high time to break the circle and start being that wild child who dares again!

Be active, Be supportive, Be You!

Loads of love!!

Swiss Ball - Workout Session

Here is my top-3 swiss ball exercises, and I gathered them all in an entire session to show you the pictures on how to do these. They won't blow up your cardio but they will help focusing and putting on muscle for sure! :

this is called Swiss Ball Prone Leg Raise , and it is a lower back killer!

If you've worked glutes before, and squeeze your butt when your legs are up, it also works glutes.

Todo this, you must not move your back and push with your hands not to move whilst raising up your legs. You can do it with legs closed or

open.

I did 20 reps and 4 sets

This exercise is Swiss Ball Crunches , you get to workout more on the core whilst easing up your back. You don't need to raise your upper body all the way up, but you need to go all the way down.

I did 20 reps and 4 sets

Here's the Swiss Ball Glute Bridge, you stick your back to the ball, butt touching the ground, and you bring it up to form a bridge. Hold the position for two seconds then go back down.

I did 20 reps and 4 sets

I also did this one which doesn't need a swiss ball to be performed but barbells. Here I have 6 kilos in each hand. This Single Leg Deadlift burns in the hamstring, and really improves your balance. I guess I need to have a proper form though .

I did 10/ each leg and 5 sets

And to finish with I did On All Fours Kickbacks, with are my go-to exercise when I want to get a real burn in the butt. I guess this one should be at the end of a glute session, to really get a good MMC and contact.

I did 15/leg and 3 sets with 2kg ankle weights

During this session I also did other exercices that I din't take in picture, like Dumbell Push-up Rows with 6 kg in each hand, some spin bike, and I honestly don't remember what else...

Jumping my life away when I'm outdoors... hehe ! I recorded the video for a little effective leg workout (this one will burn your quads) but I struggle at videos so it's not top lightning, neither perfect framing ...

Today I will take pictures of my training with a swiss ball to show you guys some interesting things to use it for!

I really am becoming a salad lover as I have it for lunch quite everyday but I noticed a heavy trick: as it is not calorie dense, I tend to eat quite more for dinner, which ends up not being hungry the morning after... Gotta break that vicious circle!! So as I've got back on track for 4 weeks or more now I believe, I will now start drinking protein shakes again :)

I will also try to take progress pic very soon so I can compare them to the ones I've posted at the beginning!

Loads of love!!

Bad Update - Sprain

Hi guys!! I've been really into my job these past day so I'm sorry for the bad update!! I've had an amazing wourkout last thursday and decided to show you in video what it looks like instead of writing it down here. (And I will try to record it today)

My second photoshoot with Solen happened on Sunday so I have a few to show at the moment, because I have plenty to see first as the session lasted 3 hours. But it was amazing once again. I always get that feeling of being alone in the world, I don't pay attention to anything except us two and I have a great time!! Not to talk about that confidence boost when you see some of the pics right after they're taken :)

Neopren sauna pants + regular gym pants = flat ass

Shoulder lines got me like ...

25.6 inches / 65 cm here. Boxjump is great for overall body toning, cardio and stress relieving!

And here I'm! At the beginning of the photoshoot I fell while doing jumped squat on unstable ground, and got a finger sprain which means I must not workout with this hand. I promise, this is hell: as I can't grip anything thight, I can't lift weights, do pushups or variations, be on all fours... I hope my body recovers faster so I don't have to wait for three weeks!! (anyway the next workout is about dem legz!) .

Loads of love
