Drop a Jeans Size!

I read in Cleo magazine this month that Jennifer Aniston practices at least 20-minutes cardio workout a day in order to stay in shape. She is one of the celebrities with the best figure I've seen.

During the month of Ramadhan, I find it hard to actually lose weight and even harder to tone up. I'm the kind of person who eats small portions repetitively. I am not really capable of eating large portion as I get full very fast. So, I eat very little for Sahur. After a whole day of fasting, I tend to get very fatigue (especially with my hectic schedule). As a result, I oftenly sleep right after Isya' prayers (not even an hour after having a meal). So, I am pretty much bloating up right now. Last Monday, I made an attempt to head the gym after breaking fast and ended up with a tummyache because the gas in my tum tum was not settled yet. So, i googled for circuit for me to do at home and found these Drop a jeans size circuit from fitnessmagazine.com! Best part is that you can do it yourself at home without any equipment! Just something I need during the fasting month! Hope I'll manage to complete this workout coz my fat is really piling up!
