Hockey once a week
Indoor soccer 2 a week
Dodgeball once a week
volleyball once a week
Gym 4 times a week (weights only. I get enough cardio from the other stuff)
In summer replace the hockey with mountain biking.
Eat lots of protein.
I pretty much need to duplicate what I did in 2009. Went from 163 to 170 with losing 3 in from my waist.
A lot of good variety with that! What do you do at the gym... a body builder routine? power lifting? Olympic weightlifting?
Motivation is key! ...and slow is good... your body will adapt to it without complaining or sidelining you!Today: bike ride 45 mins, yard work 1 hour.
I don't have access to a gym so have to get my exercise where I can.
I have a bike, a beach, a public swimming pool and a yard that needs clearing a couple of times a week.
Diet: I'm in Thailand and everything is stir-fried out here, so am trying to go for the spicy salads, grilled meats and so on. I'm getting lots of fruit and drinking plenty of water.
It's a slow process (getting fit) but I am motivated!
Jan 1 30 min. rowing machine (24 rows/min)
Jan 3 30 min. rowing machine (24 rows/min)
Jan 4 30 min. rowing machine (24 rows/min) + 11/4 hrs of shovelling (Ouch! my back)...
Shooting for 25 pounds less in a month.
Snow shoveling can be a real b!#$h!! Tough to keep good back posture and lumbar support the entire time.
Are you able to get a distance off of your rowing machine? Might be nice to log how far you went in 30 minutes..... you'll be able to see trending if you're gaining distance with relatively the same perceived effort.
Everyone is helping me to stay motivated as I go into the second year of my "Quest for Fitness"! Thanks!
