Stepping up a gear

Hi all, has the cruise gets closer I have decided to step my training up a gear, I will now be running more often (which I did this morning) and doing extra sessions including Tae Boe to shed that extra bit of fat. I have currently lost around 14lbs of fat which is good.

My 100 burpee challenge will take place in approx 2 weeks time and I am training for this every day now, along with abs training which I have never really done before.

I will take a picture tomorrow and that will be the last one until I post one just before the holiday.

Would like to say thanks for the comments.

Until tomorrow.

Hi, today I did a conditioning workout from Infinite Intensity, I had to use a skipping rope for the routine which also involved a decent amount of burpees!

The burpee portion of the session was the hardest and I could feel the sweat running down my face has I skipped. I am starting to feel alot better now and can see some improvements in the mirror, but there is still alot of work to be done.

My eating plane has been spot on today.

On the side bar you may have noticed a new vote button there, if you get the chance can you please click it has it gives this blog and my journey more viewers.

I now have around four weeks to go before my cruise so my training will really need to be stepped up soon.

Thanks for reading.

Week 2 starting!

Hi, week 2 starts tomorrow and I must admit, I can’t wait!

The last week has been good, so has the last few days I have had has rest, my eating has still been good although I did have a cheat meal tonight.

Next week I will be doing a few HIIT sessions out in the park, this is an high intensity programme that helps fat loss in a big way, I will explain more when I do it.

Anyway, time to get some rest, it’s a big week starting tomorrow!

Week 1 – Day 4

Today I did the magic 50 from infinite intensity, after each set I did 30 seconds of skipping to help aid fat loss. I was sweating buckets at the end!!!!!

My diet was like this:

Meal 1 – Protein with water

Meal 2 – Protein with water

Meal 3 – 1 can of tuna

Meal 4 – banana and low fat yogurt

Meal 5 – 1 can of tuna

I missed dinner because I was so busy at work, I will learn from this and not make the same mistake!

Thats all for today.

ps – It’s my birthday today, but Ididn’t have any cake!

Week 1 – Day 3

Hey, today was day 3 in my mission to get in shape for my cruise (April 24th), and so far so good…..

I went running this morning, the first time in years, and it hurt!!!!! I run a certain route, timed it and will attempt to beat that time next week, it felt good to be out there in the fresh air.

I also did a core workout this evening, I did this on the inflatable ball and you can really tell the difference. You use loads more muscles than during a normal core workout. It did not take long but was very effective.

My diet today was also spot on, it looked like this:

Meal 1 – Protein powder in water

Meal 2 – 1 banana

Meal 3 – Protein powder in water

Meal 4 – Grilled chicken and steamed vegetables

Meal 5 – 1 can of tuna

 At the moment this eating plan seems to be workoing for me so I don’t plan to change it any time soon.

I will have a new video and picture up very soon so keep posted!

Ready for tomorrow

I’m ready to start training again tomorrow, this week I will also start running and more intense conditioning routines because the cruise is just around the corner (April 24th).

I need to get a move on!

I will also be posting pictures this week and maybe a new video in the next 2 weeks.

Keep reading, it’s on!!!!!

Still no training

I am still not able to train due to injury, but I plan to be back on track in the next couple of days so no worries there.

The good news is that my diet is still nice and clean and this is one of the most important factors when changing your body.

About this blog:

I am still new to blogging so things will be changing on this site, such has the way pictures are posted, I am not tech savvy so I learn has I go along! Over the next couple of weeks I will add pictures, video’s and articles so keep in touch.

Just a short one today, thanks for reading.

A bit tired

Hi, I have been feeling a bit tired today, I started the day with skipping intervals and this is an excellent training tool, I recommend you try it. I had breakfast has soon has I had finished ut has the day went on I have started getting sleepy, it is probably the first few days of intense training getting to me abit, which is to be expected.

Diet went well today, sticking to my plan so I can approach the end of my first training week pleased with my progress.

I could have slipped earlier on though! I was feeling hungry and was in touching distance of certain foods, but I beat the cravings and instead had a low fat yogurt and a glass of water, which did the trick.

What does this tell us?

Well for one don’t give in to cravings and you will be pleased with your self, and have something healthy and  drink water has this could be why you are feeling hungry in the first place!

Just picture what you want to achieve and it will be easy to beat those cravings!

Until tomorrow

Strength training the Infinite Intensity way!

 Today I did a max strength session from Infinite Intensity, it required 4 sets and around 4 reps per exercise, has a finisher I performed 100 squats wearing a 10kg weighted vest, it was a good way to end the workout.

I highly recommend you check out rosstraining and consider buying his products, they are very effective. It has loads of exercises described in it’s text and a sample programme.

I started to feel a little weak after today’s session, I did 10 sets of 10 to complete the finisher, I timed it and my aim will now be to beat that time next time I perform that exercise.

I also recommend you keep a journal of your routine, time, sets, weight, how you felt etc should all be included. This way you can look back and see the improvements and also evaluate if you have to make any changes. I also encourage you to start a blog if you have’nt already, it help keeps you accountable to yourself and your readers, even if you don’t have many!!!!!

Any way to todays diet:

.1 hard boiled egg and small bowl of shreddies – breakfast

.tuna sandwhich – lunch

.pre workout – protein powder in water

.post workout – protein powder in water

.grilled turkey and steamed vegetables.

I am reveiwing this diet so it will probably change.
