Thread: Mummy tummy and 45 next birthday.

You are going to have to go into detail on describing "my healthy eating is okay":
Calories:
Macro breakdown:

You mentioned a DVD but what kind of workout?
Describe your training routine in detail.

At 45 you shouldn't have a problem reaching your goal IF you fix your diet and train right.

I dont keep a food diary but its pretty much the same stuff porridge with a scoop of protein {natural whey} whole wheat toast cup of tea with two sugars and 2 biscuits {cookies to you} a banana, yogart strawberry.
tuna and avacado salad, protein shakes, water, rice chicken veg ect but at the weekend because of my family anthing goes [I know this is bad but I try to have very small portions] as for the workouts I alternate upper and lower body weight work, and do cardio in between and have rest days when energy levels are low. I suppose I need to be around like minded people to reach my goals I know the cookies are a no no. Thats why I joined this site. My husband being a coach potatoe does'nt help either.

I've been working out for a number of years, I have four kids, I had to stop for a while after
complications with my last child and my health suffered as a result, my healthy eating is okay and I prefer weight
training to cardio even though I know both are important.
I have heavy periods which leave me drained Im 5 ft 2in and have a toned body but not as toned as I would like with a mummy tummy that really gets me down.
Im 45 yrs old next birthday I reaaly want to have a hard body once and for all, I would welcome any advice of what I can do to
obtain my goals.

Thanks.

Welcome

Never too late to start after kids, life can get very complicated, I've always being very fit & after my last pregnancy 3 years ago it was harder for me to get back in shape, all it takes is taking that first step.

First thing u should do is know what your diet is like now, u can start logging everything u eat, a good site to do this is (Fitday.com)

Diet/Cardio/training is what's going to help u obtain your goals, I read u don't like cardio, (I don't enjoy it either) but u really need to do Cardio, u don't have to do a long session, u can start with 25-30 min..

Drink plenty of water, and remember to keep your diet clean.

Best of luck to u

Hi there - I'm older than you, but no kids so my hat is off to you. Kindly read homework 1 and get back to me with your "macros" - you'll know what that means when you've read it. Welcome to the forum.
