Well, a quick look around the house and shed has revealed two yoga mats and some mini dumbbells (in pink, bletch, but beggars can&#8217;t be choosers), which is a start. Was also reminded that I had a free rental code for LoveFilm who might send me an exercise DVD instead of a movie, although there was no guarantee of when it might arrive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pennygolightly.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/trainers.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1427 aligncenter lazyload\" title=\"trainers\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.pennygolightly.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/trainers.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"120\" height=\"111\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1427 aligncenter lazyload\" title=\"trainers\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pennygolightly.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/trainers.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"120\" height=\"111\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s how the second week went:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>Monday<\/em><\/strong>: Still had a sore throat and some queasiness when I woke up, so decided to stick with &#8216;safe&#8217; exercise. Did an hour of step on top speed, and 50 sit-ups. No problem at the time, and by the afternoon I was feeling a lot healthier too.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>Tuesday<\/em><\/strong>: Pilates matwork from a recorded TV show. Way better than the one I tried last week, this one was a good half an hour of proper exercises that went on for 30 minutes without any annoying ad breaks. Felt nice and toned after the matwork, without having overdone it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>Wednesday<\/em><\/strong>: Half an hour of step at top speed with hand weights, half an hour of Wii fit running and coordination games, 50 sit-ups. Tired before I started, shattered afterwards.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>Thursday<\/em><\/strong>: Lower-body workout from a recorded TV show. About 25 minutes of continuous, fairly challenging exercises &#8211; could feel the muscles working hard. Right knee making crunching noises so was extra careful with lunges etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>Friday<\/em><\/strong>: Rest day. No delayed muscle pain, but feeling washed out and sleepy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>How did it go? On Monday I could already feel some improvement in muscle tone, which was extremely encouraging. My appetite has increased too, and I&#8217;m eating more to make sure I don&#8217;t lose weight.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s next? Will be doing some Wii Fit later this afternoon, to make it 5 sessions for this week again. I&#8217;m dying to go for a swim, so hopefully next week I&#8217;ll be able to find a free trial at a gym that has a pool. Watch this space. Still waiting to see whether LoveFilm are going to send me an exercise DVD or not.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Are you getting fit at the moment, or boosting current levels of fitness? Any ideas for me that involve no spending?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As you might remember, I&#8217;ve been trying to get fitter this month without parting with any cash, and I managed to exercise on five days last week.
