Fitness Friday #1

So it is that time again Fitness Friday. This week I thought I would share with you my workout routine for the week, as I would find it really interesting to know what people get up to for their fitness routines. Although I am mostly following Lucy's intermediate fitness calender, I do like to change things up a bit. I also do all of my workouts at home and with no equipment unless otherwise written as I am tight with my money and lack motivation to actually get to the gym. As this is a Friday post I will go from last Friday until yesterday.

This week has been hard but not ridiculously hard, I can't wait to see if I improve next week. Now that you have taken a look at my fitness routine,I thought a share a few more health and fitness tit bits. 

Instagram accounts to follow - this week I have started looking for more health and fitness instagram accounts (leave yours down below, I don't believe you can ever be following too many insta accounts) are @averagejoefoodie and @tammyhembrow. Hannah from averagejoefoodie posts every single meal and snack she eats on there and it is really good for meal inspiration and Tammy has just got a beautiful body and I use her for fitness inspo. 

Healthy food - last week I told you I ordered a hand blender to make soups for my lunch and so on Sunday I had my first attempt at making one. I went for Moroccan chickpea and although it did not go brilliantly it still tasted good.  To make it I cooked celery, onion, garlic and cumin in a pan until browned. I then added vegetable stock, plum tomatoes and chickpeas for around 10 minutes added some frozen broad beans and done. And it actually tasted good. 

I also started having a snack after my tea of greek yoghurt and fruit and it is actually so satisfying. 

Gym Gear - now here is where I need some help from you guys, I need some nice new gym gear to workout in as however low this may sound it really motivates me to have new gym clothes. 


Let me know what you want to see in next weeks post, as I feel it may get a bit repetitive although obviously it changes every week and remember to leaves ideas for gym clothes. Sorry there is no progress pic, hopefully there will be one next week. 

See you tomorrow.
