Bluedam’s BodyBlog

I have been going to the gym at least four times a week for the past few monhs and hit another plateau. So I decided something needed to be done. I did a trial for a kickboxing class tonight. It was some workout and requires phenomenal levels of fitness. I enjoyed it but I am in two minds on whether to continue.

It consists of three hour classes a week and to me that it is a lot of time to give up. Now you may say watching a game of soccer takes two hours, which has become something I have gotten really bored of doing but it is all the rushing to a session and the time afterwards. However its winter time more or less in Ireland now and all people seem to do is watch soaps or booze and although I never watched soaps (they rot minds you see) I have also gotten bored with boozing (very surprisingly).

The other thing I am struggling with is cardio is my first love and something I enjoy immensley. However I have hugely taken to this bodybuilding lifestyle (while not yet achieving anywhere near a physique I am happy with). Im a believer in sticking at something until I achieve it so in a way I am answering my own question. Maybe that’s the beauty of these blogs and teasing things out or not to wimp out to put it another way.

The other thing is lifting weights is the only other thing I will even attempt to get up for at six in the morning for. Come to think of it I have that to look forward to tomorrow morning. It really has been worthwhile recently. Its pitch dark when I start out, I get to wear my black hat intact with skull to the gym( to ward off evil spirits you see and keep the heat in). I have the gym to myself, none of the chatters or posers to distract me and work out to the sun coming up. Something very special and liberating about that I find. Yes the workout’s win by a landslide.
