    Jasneet@ decided not to step on weighing scale this month as i was getting to obssessed with the numbers... And was beginning to to think of excercise as a punishment.... But this month am really enjoying my walks and excercise.... :wink:

    @Anjali love the DP! Its soo fantastically in your face! :love: :love:

    @Naruto Yup true! going to push myself the rest of this week. 45 minutes done today! :happy:

    Ive just bought resistance bands for the days when im travelling and have to work out in hotel rooms but I still have to try them out. (still to receive delivery of the handle) i went with SKLZ. so this is what i will soon have:

    have you worked with resistance bands? how different is it from dumbbells? and how effective?

    Okay. Advance apologies to the moderator and everyone.
    New on the group.
    Where do I introduce myself and stuff?
    Also, half may is gone. So, I pledge 30 minutes daily for whatever time is left,
    Cheers. :-D

    Did 40 minutes swimming in the pool.
    But since I was just splashing the kids during play time,probably should count only 35.
    What did everyone else do?

    @naruto- I run once a week. So, not much. Trying to take that number up slowly. Flat foot combined with heavy weight giving me a hard time.
    @jasneet- do you train at home or in the gym?
  • jasneet12
    jasneet12 Posts: 239 Member
    @Torsha I workout at home. Naruto has got me hooked on www.fitnessblender.com and then there is youtube and the zillion other websites & apps.

    Wow. I would really like to start strength training at home since my weight loss has practically stalled after the initial 20 kgs. The gym seems a little intimidating for now, frankly.
    I'll check out the site. Thanks.
    What equipments, if any, did you guys buy?

    1557 minutes done, 243 minutes remaining. Sadly my weight loss seems to be slowing down, only lost 600gms this week, compared to 1+ kg/week for past 4-5 weeks.

    I have 1kg and 3 kg dumbbells. I have also bought sklz resistance tubes and handles (the links are up somewhere in this thread) but I am yet to work with those.

    It rained here in Kolkata and my swimming pool was swarming with insects. Couldn't get my workout in either yesterday or today.
    :-/ Will go walking tomorrow for sure.
    I am thinking of buying dumbbells too.
