The new beginning
After getting married, moving into our new home and a lot of laziness I am now desperate to get back into the gym.
I originally started due to a back condition, I was advised to build muscle on my back. I have "hyper-mobility" which pretty much means my joints move a little bit more than they should and crack a lot. If they move too much they will spasm and stay in the wrong position. My advice to build muscle would then stop the bones fixing in the wrong position by pulling them back. At this point in time, I was visiting the chiropractor every 2 weeks.
I approached a good friend and body builder Jugg and we stated training together. I noticed a great gain of strength, power, and fitness working out with Jugg and soon my back problem was in control and my chiropractor said that he did not need to see me until I felt like I needed to see him.
This was an amazing goal met as he was now happy I could now carry on, without seeing him so regularly to put my back back in place.
Time went on, and wedding plans started and money got short so the gym stopped. My back problem has returned so I am DESPERATE to get back into the gym.
My current weight is 16st 13oz almost 17st (107kg) which I am very unhappy about.
My diet is appalling
My strength is awful
My stamina - what stamina
& my fitness is dreadful.
I’ve also decided to look into starting a new career that requires a LOT of fitness (I wont reveal this as yet, as it may not happen, or I may not like it) but it is a great motivator as it is something that i REALLY want to do.
I’m going to get into the gym this afternoon and get my stats for lifting and 12 minute running distance.
I hope to keep this blog as up to date as possible, and it should help to get me back on track!
Wish me luck!
