Re-start…… again
Right, so im trying to get back on track with my getting fit. The last while has been terrible, eating shit and not excercising! Theres a couple of reasons for that one being that i hurt my chest/ribs at the end of Januaury and i couldnt do any excercise properly. Without the excercises along with going out at the weekends, my diet soon went to the trash. So Ive realised if I do the excercises every morning the diet will follow. Physcologically Ill know its not worth excercising if Im not eating properly!
Anyway Ive decided to the P90X fitness program. This involves a fitness and nutrition plan which alters after 4 weeks! The menu plan starts off with 50% protein, 30% Carbs and 20% Fats, then swithches to 40:40:20 and finally 30:50:20. The Fitness plan involves the use of a technique called “Muscle Confusion” which changes up the routine so as to avoid a plateau. After 3 weeks of bodyweight training there is a week of recovery which involves less intensity. This is done a total of 3 times over a course of 13 weeks! I dont know if the technique has been proven to work but the results that people have got from the program show that the program does work if you try your hardest.
The workouts are done 6 days a week with a stretch or rest on the final day. The routine is as follows:
Day1:Chest & Back,Ab.Ripper Day2:Plyometrics Day3:Shoulders & Arms,Ab.Ripper Day4:Yoga Day5:Legs & Back,Ab.Ripper Day6:Kenpo Day7:Rest or Stretch
Recovery Week Day1:Yoga Day2:Core Synergistics Day3:Kenpo Day4:Stretch Day5:Core Synergistics Day6:Yoga Day7:Rest or Stretch
As of today Im nearing 14 stone (196) which feels absolutely terrible. All my hard work gone down the drain. Im going to Australia soon and want to have lost the weight. I want to get down to maybe 12 or 12 1/2 stone. I dont want to be ripped or anything but want the belly gone! I want new clothes and to feel good in my own skin, to be able to move quicker and more flexible! All the usual reasons but mostly to feel good with myself and proud of my body. Its annoying not being in control of myself so here goes from now on. Its my life! Anyway, no more of this waffle!
Everyday I want to post with a few things on my mind.
1) Diet: The menu plan for the day and whether I stuck to it, if not how. 2) Supplements taken for the day 3) Mood before, during and after the workout 4) Workout: How it went and any details I feel like mentioning
Ill also post my Fit Test results.
Laterz
