I climbed a mountain I did!!!


Hey guys hope your doing awesome, and hope you had a fantastic weekend I know I did, some of you may know I was having a go at climbing a mountain and for those of you who were worried I survived it

I made it to the top and it was awesome, I was a bit gutted I missed most of the England match but I heard they were aweful so not too fussed lol...

I went up with cooper the crazy dog and Louanna my girlfreind who is not crazy lol we did the pig trail and it was tough if any one wants sa cardio challenge this would be it...

... 2 hrs of constant work, didn'k know think it would be that hard, and then for the legs,


has anyone done a million squats before because I'm guessing that this would be the same sort of feeling...

... very demanding but a good pain, oh yeah, and cooper may have killed a sheep...

...he chased one over a hill that had a ledge and we never saw the sheep come back over,
oh gosh... it was probably fine ;)



With all this walking and clambering, it led to a lot of soreness in the legs, Lou felt it in her calves more, and I felt it in the top of my quads more, so how do you prepare for a climb like that?

Well quite simply you need to strengthen the muscles you are going to use...

...So I'm gonna give you a quick Leg workout that will help tone and shape the bum and thighs, and cus the legs are the biggest muscle group which means because you work them you will burn loads of calories, therefore helping your fat loss efforts

So for the workout you need:
* A pair of dumbbells (heavy please)
* 15 minutes

And thats it you can do this in the comfort of your own home, no excuses, everyone can find 15 mins

12 lunges (alternating legs)
12 jump squats
16 side lunges
12 Glute raises (each leg on fit ball)
25 calf raises (each leg)

Repeat 4 - 5 times as a circuit and feel the burn

Check youtube or ask myself for technique and exercise demos, have a good week and look out for Big Fat Lies part 2 later this week
