    I would like to join in the group. I really like your JFT name. I'm 51 and just quit smoking on Sept 23 and since then I have added too many lbs. I'm gonna turn that around now. I started my healthier food yesterday and successfully drank 10 glasses of water, actually tracked everything & did a 10min youtube cardio video. Here we go...

    JFT
    Less creamer & sugar in my coffee
    Drink 10 glasses of water
    Keep tracking everything.
    10 to 15 min youtube cardio video.
    Walk on my break

    Can I ask which cardio video you do :)

    I was doing loads of these before I got pregnant (and got everyone else to try one :sweat_smile: )
    Nearly killed everyone on the thread haha (including myself :lol: )

    So can’t do any atm but like to know what others do for when I get back in shape after baby!

    Awesome they’re the ones I do!! (Did)
    I love the 25 minute one with Simone De La Rue!

    One her videos (not a pop sugar one) was 40 mins long and was for a company called Sweaty Betty and oh my god. That was the one that nearly killed everyone haha I was pouring in sweat whilst doing it!
    I still couldn’t complete it all pre-pregnancy!
    But got close!

    I will check that one out. I will have to work up to it. I'm in the worst shape I've ever been. Thank you for a great goal to work towards. I'm gonna say that I will do that video in 2 weeks. Can you send me a link so I can add it to my calendar? Please please please. :smiley:

    That’s the pop sugar one

    https://youtu.be/t5Xyb2h_KHo

    That’s the sweaty betty one. In this one she does 3 sets. Each set is 1 part cardio and one part like weights or core work, so building strength.
    So it’s cardio, strength, cardio, strength, cardio strength. I managed the first 1 and a half sets at first and tbh I thought I’d never manage it!

    But once I got used to the routine, that helped as I wasn’t getting confused or anything or out of time. And then I think after 2 weeks I could do the first 2 sets.
    So don’t let it put you off if you don’t get far! Just keep trying!
