Tips for weighted hula hooping

I have a fitness post for you today  back in February this year I started using a weighted hula hoop to help be tone and define my waist this seem to be quite a thing at the moment .So I thought I would post some tips that have helped me during my journey .



 1. Find the right weight hoop for you as you get better you can always increase the weight but my hoop is 1.4kg hoop

2. Start slowly don't get hoop an try and do 10 mins a day because this how you end up hurting your self and will get some cracking bruises . Start with 2-3 mins each side and then increase it slowly so 2-3 mins week 1 the 5 mins week 2 etc . If read any description on weighted hoops most  actually advise you do this .

3. To get started but one foot in font of the other and gently swing the hoop the direction of the foot you have forward gently rocking your hips back and forward as you get better you will be able to but you feet together .

4. Keep the hoop at steady pace there is no point trying to wack it round as fast you can because you are more likely to loose control and drop it . If you keep it as nice pace you will be keep up with it and keep control

5. Make sure you have enough space to hoop in .My hoop is quite big but I struggle with a smaller hoop so make sure you have room so your not knocking things brilliant in the garden in the summer but i use are loft as we don't have a garden yet .

Those are my top tips for hooping it is a really good workout and easy to fit in your day. I got my hoop off Facebook but you can get then in argos and amazon my sister got hers in a charity shop so there are loads of options out there.


My goals for 2016 !

Hi all I am not doing resolutions  as I am more likely to break them but I am going to set myself goals for the year as think this way I will be more likely to keep them so I am going to share them with you all !



1. Loose the weight I put on when I was off work for 3 months with my back .I  am not unhappy with my body at all but with my back condition  it not good for me to carry extra weight. So I am going to be  eating better ,walking and swimming as can't do normal workouts for obvious reasons . When I say walking I  don't mean a casual stroll and I mean brisk power walks . My goal is to be back to 9 1/2 stone by my pain clinic appointment in feb.


2. Get my younique business to green status by august . To get to green I  need build a team so if you're interested to know more contact me or if you want a whole post on younique where we have launched ect let me know .

3. MOVE OUT !!! Dont get me wrong I love living at home and I get on well with my parents but I want my own space  and some where I can put my own mark on that is bigger than a postage stamp lol .


Most people say drink more water but I drink enough water to sink a battleship and I am constantly saying  I need a wee my mum is treating to put it on my grave stone lol. So they are my three main goals for the year as well as you know find a decent man and maintain this blog to the highest standard I can ect .

What are your goals this year ?

Fitness Haul

Hey guys so today I have something a bit different for you I spent some time on the internet looking at pretty fitness wear so now I am going to share it with you.



Can I first say I am the least fit person in the world and with my bad back working out isnt an option however work out wear is so comfy I just wear it when I don't plan to leave the house . So in this collection of clothes we have three nike dri fit strappy tops in black, bright orange and pink the comfiest things in the world .

Two pairs of leggings high waisted as they sit the best on me and avoid giving me that muffin top. I have since brought 4 more pairs as they are so comfy and I have not been out of them since . Also here are two sports bras because  I sleep in them and they are good for those tender book moment you get what I mean ladies . 

There is a swimsuit here which I am yet to use but I love swimming . I do intend to try and start going swimming twice a week but we will see . Now I am going to address the elephant  in the room the neon pink trainers . I love then I wore then to go sainsbury with my mum and some guy just stood in the aIsle staring at my feet lol . I don't care I love them and they are oh so comfy and if my back ever heals I may take up running.I did it when I was in my teens but then stopped as found other hobbies . 

That's it for today's post something a bit different but I hope you enjoyed  and will see you all soon . 

Bye guys
