Workout report; Confessions and Achievements

Hi Beauties! It's a beautIFU Saturday morning in this part of the world and I'm glad to be alive! How you doing?

One of our lovely blog readers suggested that aside sharing our successes and workout achievements we should also confess our relapses. I totally think this is a great idea. So I'm gonna start with myself. I don't remember exercising this week. *covers face* I bet you're thinking "ah Ifu...you're  not practicing what you preach here. "

Amazing before and after weightloss pictures! 24kg gone!

Hi Beauties! What are your thoughts on the picture above? Before I go on to tell you these weight loss stories, here's a little update on me.

Best exercises for toned/smaller thighs

Weight loss program: Free Weight loss tools, detox, meal plan and exercises

A good weight loss program should contain exercises that increase your metabolism, burn fat and also tone your body. It should also contain a healthy meal plan that won't leave your pocket shallow.

Below is a weight loss plan that guarantees to help you lose between 3kg-6kg weekly, if you're diligent. The exercises involved are great for people who can't do intense cardio exercises due to leg injuries or other health problems.

Blog readers who lost significant amount of weight in a short period of time adopted some of these exercises into their workout program. These exercises focus on the upper body, midsection and lower body and will require only your own bodyweight and 15-20 minutes of your time. To make this exercise routine very effective, try to maintain a maximum of 20-30 seconds break between each set and do 3-5 sets of each exercise.
