Im going to get the custom plan... And It says the diet plan is included, is that the same as the 21 diet add on? Sorry for all the questions, I just really want to get this right
I'm sure we will be messaging a lot for the next few months haha

No, the diet plan that comes with the sway plan is minimal. the 21 day diet plan is like 80 pages long and has tons of diet info in it.

Ahh gotcha. I'll see what comes w the plan I bought and if I can figure it out from there lol if not I'll buy the add on. So excited to see what you plan out for me! Thanks Atomic

Atomic. Is 30 min of weights 4 days a week good enough for blue sway ? And can DH do the same exercises with me ? It will be good to have company to keep me motivated. What should the husbands exercise be like on blue sway ?

[atomic sagebrush]

Yes it's perfect!!!

Weight training can be good for DH but he does need to take some care not to gain or lose more than a few lbs as that may affect testosterone negatively.

He also needs to take care to not get his "boys" too hot while he's exercising - no tight fitting jocks and he should stay out of hot tubs and steam saunas afterwards!

And how about 30min in the morning and 30min in the evening of same day ?
I am trying to avoid excersise on weekdays for fear of getting insomnia so i can do two 30 min sessions on sat/sun

It is ok (for BLUE, not for pink), but less good than spacing it out a bit more.

Allowing the muscles to rest and repair is an important part of the blue sway. It is not "exercising 4 times in a week" that matters, it's exercising the right way to build muscle and 4 workouts in 2 days is not going to be best.

Would rather see you do just the 30 min. on weekends and nothing during the week than 4x in 2 days.

Bluebooties I started doing weights last year as a practice - I went in giving it too much and overdid it. Gained no real muscle and burned out to the point I stopped doing them.
I started again 8 weeks ago and this time I decided to do what I could and push myself a little further (maybe 10 mins more) and I have gained lots of muscle doing 30 mins weights every other day with a 40 min brisk walk every day inbetween.
It's so much more sustainable

Thanks atomic and true blue
I actually did my first day of blue diet ( and i do not like avocados ) and 30min of weights yesterday and i think i can do 4 separate days a week. I like the idea of every other day. That would be nice to give muscles a break

I have a question on exercise please

I have one DD aged 4 and would like to TTC another daughter later in year

My question is with exercise as I am a dancing teacher I teach dancing 6 days a week. Does this count as Cardio? Its very on an off in moderation depending on what we are doing in the lesson, sometimes its just standing there and sometimes its moving whole half hour and sweating. I teach usually 4-5 hours in a row without a break

Yet I am also overweight have always been so not sure my body counts this as exercise?

Recently I have been walking 6 nights a week for 40 minutes on the teadmill which concerns me as is that only counted as 40 minutes or does my dancing teaching count also and therefore put me over the hour?

When I conceived DD I was at my heaviest at that stage in life was about to start dieting but was doing lots of teaching and no additional exercise, do I just go with that again? or stick with my nightly treadmill too?

I am again at my new heaviest point but trying to lose weight through additional treadmill at moment not losing (4 weeks later) so thinking Im actually building muscle?
