Ok.... so here's the deal...
I'm trying to get fit before the first quarter century of my life is over... problem is, I had told myself this quite a while ago... and I turn 26 in a month or so...
So the idea is this, I'm going to post my daily workout here for the next 4 weeks, and I'm hoping for some social responsibility, peer pressure or whatever the buzz-word of the moment is to get me not to give up.
The target is to loose those annoying salami's around my waist (love handles in English)... and ideally get a 6-pack... in 4 weeks.... so far I've cut out sugar (2-6 500ml bottles of mountain dew a day) and fat (bacon roll or sausage & egg mcmuffin every morning) from my diet... limiting my carbs (pasta) to a plate a day...
This is the exercise plan...
Rock climbing as usual (2-3 times a week depending on weather)
Jogging or swimming on the days I don't climb
Pushups when I jog (and maybe pull ups if I can find an appropriate bar)
MAYBE go to my local gym... going to look at it soon... problem is, as a consultant I never can get to a gym at a reasonable hour.... and it's always at a different gym, so it ends up costing a fortune...
So... here goes!
Today (23rd July) 66.1kg - 11.6%
- 20 minute jog/walk, at an average of 6mph (first time I've jogged in years!)
- 122 pushups (22, 30, 20, 20, 30)
Let's see how this crashes and burns... "publicly"
