Tone Up

Over summer, I was pretty happy with my body but over the course of winter I may have turned into a bear and gone slightly into hibernation and lost the muscle in my body. These past few weeks I've been working on improving the tone of my body and I'm starting to feel happier with my body, especially my thighs which have always been my problem area. Because I'm too lazy to get up extra early in the mornings and I always feel too tired at night, I don't run that often. Maybe once a fortnight, so instead I use a lot of YouTube videos and one or two infographics. I find them quite effective, but that's  just what works for me! Anyway, I thought that I would share what I use, just incase your interested.

This video claims to be a full body workout - it lies. It mainly focuses on your legs but I thought that it was really good and really did work after about a fortnight. At first it absolutely destroyed me and I was ridiculously tired, but after doing it every night I started to notice I wasn't getting as tired within about 2 weeks.

This infographic focuses on the abs and it really worked for me. Granted, it hurts a hell  of a lot, but it's pretty effective.

I love Blogilates, she's ridiculously upbeat and her videos are genuinely useful. I recommend this video in particular, but pretty much all of hers are great to be honest. She always has meal plans and fitness routines you should follow, personally I don't as I'm not looking to lose weight, only to tone up.

And finally, planking. I only recently started doing this, but I was surprised by a. how much it hurt and b. how much it actually made a difference. I'm trying out the 30 day plank challenge, I'm only day 2 but I'll keep you updated on how it progresses!

So, that's how I'm toning up at the moment. If you have any tips, please leave them in the comments section below! I'd love to hear your thoughts!
