Well, I have taken the plunge and joined a gym
This gut and moobs need to go
I never thought that I'd ever join one but I decided that enough was enough and with the dark nights, rain and a need to win a trophy at mountain biking, I need to improve quite a lot to say the least so here we go
I'm all inducted and had my first instructed session yesterday and am back before work in the morning
Damn this fitness malarkey , but with Chris chasing me around the trails I need to ensure that he stays far enough behind as I've heard all about him when he gets close behind ;-)you know those 'Welshies' and their wellies
So, I assume that most of you guys are gym fanatics and are wondering what the fuss is about, well I'm an overweight old geezer having a mid life crisis I guess
Any advise on what to and not to do fellas ?
my initial routine is
1500m rowing, beat your time each day sort of thing to warm up
20 mins exercise bike (hill climbs and a reasonably high setting )
20 mins cross trainer (random and a mid setting )
20 mins jobbing on treadmill building incline to mid for last 10 mins)
weights to start in 2 weeks as a good and different warm up
so dieting, I eat anything that can be stuck on a fork i assume more water, less coffee and smaller portions of food as a starter .
I guess i need to understand carbs etc now and take care with what i eat
fair play to ya Andy, once you get into it and get your freetime planned out it doesnt seem hard work. you
actualy enjoy it.
regards diet just cut out the crap, choc,crisps etc. its ok to have something once a week or so.
i excersie 3 to 4 times a week. mountin bike, weights and boxing.
have a gym set up in my loft with the bags and weights. job done.
i'm still a little fat fooker thow
but hey its good for the mind and soul
