GOT Fitness LOG

a brief audit of my fitness (sweating like a skewered pig in winter in just a t-shirt) and the fact my doc said if I kept putting the ale (and wine and spirits and anything else) away I'd be dead in two years has put me on a bit of a health kick this year. I've lost 3.5 stone. Started jogging, joined a gym, take vitamins a day, started doing strength/tone conditioning, drink a pint of carrot/tomato juice a day, have six portions of veggie and fruit, no refined carbs and haven't drank a drop for 7 months.

My only pleasure is staring at a tight sweaty arse in front of me in the gym*.

Also got myself onto a good masters course starting in October, which I'm really happy about.

Bought a load of new togs the other day, got a haircut, I tell ya GOT I'm a new man.

But still the pub calls...what can you do eh? So yeah, fitness, I'm all over that ****— see yous all down the gym, I'll be the one crying on the stepmaster.

*I shouldn't say that because Gary is a lovely lad.

That sounds like **** loads of hard work and will power, nice one lid.

Hope things work out for you and Gary x

Jumped straight to the end of this thread, weighed myself this morning and I weigh 14st 8lbs. Please give some kind of advice to lose this ie fitness programmes etc etc. I drink lattes all day at work so they will be going, I have some weights and a boxing bag but no idea where to start from a programme point of view. I am running the Manchester 10k run next week, last year did it in 56 mins in a captain America costume, don't think I will be nowhere near that time this year.

Most football loving men tend to put weight on through excess alcohol and associated eating.

Having a limit on what you drink and cutting out any other fizzy or sugary drinks can save tyhousands of Kcals per week and see you lose weight.

Also, you struggle to lose weight if your dehydrated so you need to ensure you drink 2-3 litres of water every day.

Supplement you diet with a multi-vitamin and if your really serious have a look at you portion sizes and eat delibaretly slow so your body has a chance to digest food properly and signal your brain so you know when your full.

Fresh food usually has a lot of nutritional value and will improve your health and well being especially if you combine it with a decent workout 4x a week.

If your trying to lose weight and train for a run you can start simple and run for 5 mins walk for two and repeat the cycle 6-7 times. To develop add a cycle every week until your up to an hour. At that point you would look to incorporate more advanced stuff.

If you want to use the kit you've got use the bag as a cardio workout I.e. 10x 2mins bag work and use your weights and your bodyweight for a resistance workout I.e. Press up, squat, crunch, bicep curl, french press and rows. 10x 10 reps of each exercise in a circuit. Both will improve your shape and see your metabolism increase.

I'd steer clear of Mens health and those types of magazines.

If you go that route and need some advice get back to me.
 
I'm going to hit the gym today for only the second time in a month.

I might wear a disguise so that the gym owner doesn't recognise me.
 
Im starting back at the gym when i got rid of the conjunctivitis ive got. No one likes eye aids.

i wanna get the new kits and they look tight fitting so want some definition when wearing it.
 
I had my first session in about 3 weeks last night. As I walked in the owner gave me a look of disapproval and I made my excuses. I'm going to head over there in a minute if I can muster up the energy to get off my bed.
 
Been doing cardio, just going to do one all round body weight session per week, the other two times I'll do some 'mini-triathlon' training, really trying to improve the asthma. Would love to be able to do a mini triathlon one day.

Playing footy once a week too, so 3 cardio sessions and one weight sesh a week, should do me well.
 
For the first time in about 6 weeks I'm about to go for my 4th gym session of the week, I can't decide what to do today though.

Back on the protein shakes too, I want to get ripped and sh*t yo for the summer so I bought myself a 4KG tub of this, it was quite cheap at £46 too:

I'm volunteering away from home and I'm staying in uni halls so apart from 10-4 weekdays I have naff all to do.

Other than press ups and sit ups what else can I do in my room without any equipment to help me get into shape? I cba going for runs all the time, I hate running.
