Maxitone - Thank You Protein

Thursday 31 January 2013

Maxitone are running a fab competition where you can win the chance to become the face of Maxitone 2013 along with other fab prizes such as a years membership at your local LA Fitness gym, full details can be found on the Thank You Protein page.  To celebrate this launch Maxitone have put together a great kit to help towards my goal.



My thank you has to go to several people.  Firstly my husband who helps keep me on track by not bringing my favourite foods into the house and making sure that when we go out to eat it's somewhere diet friendly, a massive help for me.  Secondly to Team WAMK and you guys, our readers.  You lot have helped me with motivation and have shared my journey.  Thank you for all your comments and tweets that have kept me going!

I still have a long way to go however I am proud of my achievements so far this year, I know that it's cliche but the start of a new year really was what I needed to get back my mojo.  I don't think I will quite make losing a stone in 31 days (2nd Feb) but I won't be too far off and am certainly not disappointed seeing as it's my birthday month. 

I have yet to add exercise to my current regime and know that if I want my weight loss to continue at the same rate I will need to think about exercise very soon.  I have a few DVDs to try and thanks to Maxitone I now have some small equipment to help with both cardio and toning.  I was sent The Firm Power Ball kit and The Firm Cardio To Go Kit.  I still can't face the gym especially as the one closest to me is over £60 a month! Crazy prices.  I have tried running and it's not for me so am planning to combine DVD's with evening walks as soon as the evenings get a little lighter, it's not much fun walking in the dark.



The kit also contains some lovely Sanctuary products to help relax after a good work out and an iTunes voucher to get some good tunes going - this is where I need your help.  Recommend me some songs to download that are great for working out to.  I am an indie girl through and through and absolutely hate dance music or anything similar.

I also have some Maxitone Definity Toning Protein Shake, a box of Maxitone Definity Crisp Bars with Cranberries and a Maxitone Shaker.  The shakes and bars are designed to provide much needed protein to help support body toning.  They are not intended as a meal replacement.

  1. Wow nice little bundle of goodies there. I'm not adverse to a bit of dance music whilst I exercise as I find the tempo of the songs helps to keep me going.

    But if you're looking to avoid dance music, I find something like Friendly Fires is good (it's Indie but with dance elements) or for a full on rock out, the newest Foo Fighters album is a favorite of mine.

  2. Ska is the best workout music ever, especially if you're running - Such an awesome tempo to keep paced with. When I'm doing weights, Rammstein. Honestly! :D

  3. I agree with Sarah, fast-paced rock music is perfect. Or drum and bass. Pendulum gets me through sprint/run intervals.
