Exercise and meal plans

So I've been feeling a bit ropy since I left my gym - I took up karate again but that is only on a Saturday. I try and get to zumba classes, but with my commute I miss them more often than hit them... :'(

So I decided to look back into gyms, and I found this awesome FREE outdoor gym in Oxford that's more or less on my way home :D

It has a pull-up station amongst other things ;)

ALSO it's outside, and I feel like I don't get outside enough either! Now that's it summer, it stays light and hopefully warm enough that I can go.

So this is my tentative plan:

MONDAY / WEDNESDAY / FRIDAY: Gym & hand-weights - 50-60 minutes

• Warm-up - 10 minutes on treadmill


• Legs / Abs / Arms  (10 minutes on each, varying exercises)


• Cool down - 5 minutes on cross-trainer


• Stretch - 5 minutes

TUESDAY / THURSDAY: Zumba - 1 hour

Basically try my damndest to make it, but if not, so be it.

SATURDAY: Karate - 2 hours

SUNDAY: Gentle walk - 1-2 hours

Also, I am going to try and quit sugar again. We'll see how it goes o.o
