Getting on track
Monday, May 19th, 2008Well On Sunday I started my new goal- to reduce my BF% increase muscle and to turn my body into that rare kind that makes people gasp. At the moment its good but hardly exceptional. As I work as a fitness instructor and personal trainer i beleive that I should be able to set a ’shining example’ and demonstrate just what healthy living can acheive. At the moment I have just been coasting really.
I can barely see my abs- although they are strong -my back needs a lot of work. Im pretty happy with my arms and legs but I reckon I can improve them
.
I went out to the gym and worked pretty hard on Sunday but with no real goal or focus in mind. Im now a lot more centered and clearer or where I want to go and how to get there.
This current ’self improvement phase’ is set for 12 weeks. Had ‘before shots’ taken yesterday.
Im going out to the gym shortly to do my second workout. Ive decided to do a ‘go hard’ full body workout three times per week ( Sund, Tues and Thurs). This will be on top of my normal workload of 6 exercise classes and bootcamp 3 days per week and the incidentals I do with PT clients. I will also be running or walking for at least 30 minutes everyday.
I was really pleased on monday that my thighs were a little sore so I felt that the workout id given them had ‘hit the spot’.
Im also making sure I get plenty of sleep every night- trying to be in bed by 9.30 (10.00 at the latest) - getting up around 5.30am weekdays and 7 to 8ish usually on the weekends. Doing Meditation twice per day and Im planning to get back into yoga which ive neglected lately, would like to do that on my ‘gym workout’ days so will see how I go.
Finally the diet. At the moment im concentrating on upping the vegies and protein and drinking lots of green tea and water. No rubbish food, lol (not that i ate much of it) and cutting back the carbs a bit and not too much fruit. Im concerned about keeping energy levels up as I am very busy and active so I will just monitor this as I go along at this stage.
Thats about all for the moment.
Time for workout number two, I will be adding more exercises to what I did on sunday as i want a good ‘all rounder’ session- just dont have time to split things up during the week.
