10 Minutes of pain!

 These are my first picture (left) and my picture from today. The size of the actual photo’s are a little different but I am working on that!

Today I did 10 minutes of exercise, I performed has many burpees and squats has I could in those 10 minutes and believe me, it was 10 minutes of pain!!!!! I reached failure plenty of times and by the end I was dripping in sweat. One reason for this drill was to prepare for my 100 burpee challenge and after today’s workout, I have realised how much work I will need to put in.

Try this workout, it is VERY effective!.

I finished with a short abs routine and 5 minutes of skipping. I have never been a fan of core workouts but have decided to dedicate a little more time on it because of my goal of wanting a six pack. It is known has the 12 second workout but lasts around 90 seconds altogether. You perform an abs routine and each rep lasts for 12 seconds and you do 8 reps. Doesn’t sound like much but I could feel the burn.

My diet today was strict has ever consisting of chicken, protein shakes and tuna salad.

Until tomorrow,

Train hard

HIIT

Today I perervformed a hiit workout (high intensity interval training), I did this in some woods close to where I live.

You perform hiit by doing periods of all out effort followed by periods of low intensity effort, normally 30 seconds of each or 1 minute of each, I performed 30 seconds. So my workout looked a little like this:

30 seconds jogging

30 seconds sprinting – and so on until the end of the workout.

Research suggests that this type of training is better for fat loss than long duration, low intensity exercises. HIIT lasts no longer than 15 minutes, today my one was alot quicker because it was the first time in a couple of years that I have performed such a workout. I highly recommendt!

 Before bed tonight I will do 10 – 15 burpees has I start to prepare for the challenge, adding bits and pieces to your workout like this can have positive benefits. I will let you know how I get on.

The aim for today’s eating plane is has follow’s:

Meal 1 – Protein powder in water

Meal 2 – Tuna salad

Meal 3 – Tuna salad

Meal 4 – Jacket potato with beans

Meal 5 – Tuna

I will report back tomorrow.

The secret project!

Hi, this picture was taken today after training.

Today I did renegade man makers, these are a form of burpee, except you hold dumbbells in each hand and at the bottom portion after you complete the press up you bring on arm up at a time in a rowing sort of motion. It is hard to explain so I will post a video of it this week. The rep scheme I used was this, I started with 10 reps, rested briefly than did 9 reps and so on all the way down to 1. This type of routine combines strength and conditioning and is very effective.

The secret project:

Well, it’s a secret! But it is something I have been working on for a couple of weeks now and I will be revealing all in about 5 weeks time (exact date to come). If you think you know what it might be than please leave a comment and I will let you know if you are cold or warm. I hope that when I reveal exactly what this is that it will motivate you to make a change for the better, that’s all I can say at this time! Stay tuned!

My Challenge:

I have decided to take a challenge that will push me to the limits, this is the 100 burpee challenge! I aim to complete 100 burpees and have it recorded in real time for everyone to see. At present I can’t perform many more than 10 so I will have to get training! Exact date to come…..

Today’s eating plan:

Meal 1 – Protein powder in water

Meal 2 – Tuna salad

Meal 3 – Tuna salad

Meal 4 – Protein powder in water

Meal 5 – Grilled chicken and steamed vegetables

Meal 6 – Tuna

Until tomorrow!

Deck of cards

 Hi all, I decided to post my first picture from last week again so you can see my starting point! I will take another picture this week.

Today I completed the deck of cards workout.

What is it?

Well you take a standard deck of cards and choose a couple of exercises to perform. I did press-ups for every red card and squats for every black card. For example, when I got a red 7 of clubs, I would perform 7 press-ups and so on until I completed the entire deck (52 cards). You will than strive to complete the workout has fast has you can, today it took me 19 minutes, I aim to beat this next time! This was a very intense workout, when ever I reached failure I would perform jumping jacks until I could continue.

My diet was spot on today. A good start to the week!

Until tomorrow.

Train hard and be the best!
