How do you get SUBMISSIVE STRONG…
Curvey , wants to know !
Im finding the more we play , I realize I need strength ! Forget the LBS..shedding some of them is ok LOL But, really I want STRONG ! I have started doing my stretches for flex ( thanks Bliss ) and squats in heels. Yep, thats what I said heels. I LOVE HEELS ..they just make me feel taller, slimmer, SEXIER ! Im also , practicing more kneeling/ with heels, walking in heels core tight, head up posture ! I do have some physical issues but, I feel I can improve on these things . Im doing this for ME because , of the way it makes me feel ! Im also back on the treadmill walking …( I don’t have Fit Pal to join some of you ). Maybe we can start a SUBBY STRONG Challenge ? I need motivation and Work-out subby- buddies 🙂 Sir, of course enjoys all the benefits !
Hearts, Curvey

I am having to work on fitness and health. Last week, I was closely monitoring my diet to be sure I was eating regularly and making better choices, this week I am working on being sure I am getting fluids and my supplements. Next week, I will be taking a more firm approach to exercise.

Since we talked about this earlier, I am adding more..
I deal with low iron and high blood pressure. I am more concerned with health and muscle tone than losing weight though I do want to lose about fifteen pounds.
I started with the basics…being able to feel motivated and focused. I worked on meditating and breathing to relax, center and focus. It’s a good, positive start to the day. Then I started being mindful of eating regularly and making better food choices.
This week I am getting firm on my coffee cut back, being sure I drink more water, be sure I remember to take my vitamins and supplements, I want to do a cup of tea a day instead of the afternoon coffee.
Focus and motivation should be increased after all of this so then I will focus on a routine for exercise.

Hi Curvy – Sounds like you want/need strengthening/resistance exercise. If you have a city Recreational Center or local gym you could talk with a personal trainer to help you find the best exercises for you. You don’t need a much in the way of equipment. Maybe doing something like Pilates or Yoga would interest you, they are good for core, strength, balance, flexibility. Good luck finding what works for you.

The easiest and most important area to strengthen is your core (abdomin and back)….so many different exercises that you can do at home. Crunches, leg lift, planking, etc….if you strengthen your core, the rest will be easier to do as well. I always enjoyed kick boxing, but be forewarned, it’ll kick your butt at first! Lol
Just remember when you do any kind of strengthening, always work different areas because your muscles have memory and you want to confuse them to see the best results.
Also, don’t push yourself too hard at first, that is how people hurt themselves! -
Hey chic! I am totally down for a challenge 🙂 I do some 21 day fix stuff and check in on a private facebook group every night and we rate ourselves on nutrition and exercise and water intake (sometimes there’s a bonus question like your favorite Friends character). It’s for accountability and support (and Fun! lol) As far as exercise, I like to switch it up a lot! If I get bored so does my body. I walk outside with my music if it’s nice out, I go to the gym some nights with a gym buddy for treadmill and light weights (I LOVE ab machines), I have TON of at home 30 minute workouts..my favorites are 21 day fix ones with Autumn and anything with Jilian…Girl power 😉 both have awesome yoga and pilates (i thinks someone already mentioned but they are GREAT for stretching you out)

Thanks for the shout out Curvy! Believe it or not, those yoga poses are not just for stretching but also strength. Think Warrior…it will have you shaking if your doing it right! I enjoy walking outside and add in body weight exercises during my walks. I will find a tree or a bridge fence and do push ups and reverse push up’s for my triceps. I will find a step and do step ups. As your walks come along, try doing some interval work. Jog for a minute or two and then walk. There are lots of scientific research on how interval training is so much better than long distance running. Do planking at home, that is an amazing over all body strengthener. Start short time and gradually increase. Don’t overdo or try to over achieve! That only leads to injuries and going backwards. Slow and steady wins this race!

Oh gosh! I forgot to mention a new thing I am enjoying! Hula Hooping! I got a “real” hula hoop (not the dollar store variety) and for the first time in my life I can Hula hoop BOTH directions and keep at it for an hour! It has really loosened my hips and just helps me feel more “fluid”. I am loving it. Next on my hit list…Belly Dancing!
namaste,

Belly dancing is a fantastic thing. It doesn’t call for a woman to be any specific shape or size to do it. It just is gracefully beautiful and can be done on small levels of motion to the full range of intense timed to the beat dancing.

These are great suggestions! I will try some of them as they actually sound fun! I am doing A video workout everyday. Sir was having me ride the bike/elliptical for 3miles minimum and crunches, but wasn’t feeling like I was getting much results, I started back one of my videos I have and just with the first 15min video a felt like I did more exercise, more results than what sir was have my me do. He is ok with me doing the video workouts as long as I’m working out. I do the 15min hit videos on the days I work, getting up at 4:30am to workout before work, and on my days off I switch between 25-40min workouts. The 40min is my limit right now, as it nearly kills me! Lol. But there is also a 45 & 50 minute one also that I will eventually work up to. I would love to do a subbies workout group as well!

Any other subs with chronic health/chronic pain issues? What helps you feel strong and capable of being a good submissive still when you’re having and off day or flare up?
