Fitness/Gym update.

F Body · March 29, 2009, 05:23:57 AM

Finally making some headway on the fitness front this year

By mid January I was well into the 80+kg zone

I could blame it on the 70+ hour working week, or the 95% of my time spent sat at a computer,
or the University Degree I'm doing

But in reality it's down to being an old lazy fat man ( in that order )

I've been unable to go to the gym everyday, just too dam tired,
but for the last few weeks I've been doing every other day and have cut out all sweet/fatty food and alcohol !

So this morning I've just dropped to 77.9kg, by the end of April
I WILL hit target at below 77kg

Finally making some headway on the fitness front this year

I've opted for the super-lean approach myself.

In mid-june last year I was 19% body fat . . . In October I got down to 14.5%.

Now, by my calculations, I'm at about 11.5% body fat and weighing in at 71kgs.

Plan is to get to around 10% B/F.

I must admit - I've never felt better.

I still don't do cardio, though.

I'm doing yoga everyday, and def noticing the benefits

I'm slimmer now than I ever have been, ok I know I'll never be super skinny but I'm happy

I really should go to the gym... just got out of the habit

Incursus · March 29, 2009, 10:23:36 AM

Still stuck at 56kg

feck knows what my body fat is but if dean's was 19% then high 20-30's

Still despite excessive quantities of fast food and alcohol in the last few weeks and a couple of slack weeks at the gym and I'm fitter than I've ever been and fairly pleased with myself

Just need to sort the rest of my life out now

Surely your body weight is not a measure of your fitness. Wouldnt some kind of time, or distance test be a measure of you're fitness

Spot on my current daily regime after cycling to the gym is a 2,000 metre
row at max level ten in under 8 minutes and 15 seconds.

Today was 8 mins 4 seconds

Then there's the cross training, hill walking ( I don't run because of my knee damage ) and some weights, all topped off with 15 minutes on the top shelf of the sauna

I don't do any cardio - does that mean I'm unfit ?

Well I don't really do weights, I find it as boring as hell and doesn't increase your stamina

nope, should have been b*stard - finger slipped on the */8 key which is suprising considering how fat my fingers are...

You're absolutely right, I've just spent a long time looking at a picture of Kelly Brook topless from a very close distance and determined her to be very fit
