Photos: Nigerian Women Can Also Do This At Home If They Feel Lazy To Go To The Gym! Lose 10 Stone Working At Home

I know we have the money (naija women), but this lady does not. But she turned what she had into her own 'gym'. So ladies, you can also look for things to do at home if you feel too lazy to go the gym. Read her story;

A mother lost 10 stone in 18 months by turning her home into a mini gym. Gemma Howden, 28, was desperate to slim down after ballooning to a size 26. But the mother of 3 could not afford to join a gym.

Ms Howden, who weighed 19st, used the baby gate at the bottom of her stairs as a hurdle to jump over hundreds of times. She also used tins of baked beans and spaghetti hoops as weights in her strict daily exercise regime and did star jumps in front of her TV. See more before and after pics below.


She made up her mind to lose her excessive weight when she looked at her family album and found out she had no pictures with her kids. She felt bad, because she has always excused herself from taking pictures with them because of her weight. That alone helped her to make up her mind. In her words, 'Now I’m no longer the fat mother at the school gates and my kids' friends don’t make fun of me again'.
