Journey Towards Fitness

I have determined that my general fitness is determined by a number of factors: Working out, diet, rest, consistency and determination.

Worked out end of the week last week,

Went for another ride in Vietnam after work today.  Feel better.  It's still May, and time in the saddle is the key.

Working out tomorrow morning at 5 AM

Day 23 and 24

Right.  The workouts fell off during vacation, so I ended up working out a few times the next week.  It seems that I will not count days that extend beyond two weeks of not working out. Which will not happen, as I write this 

Yesterday was day 23 and I did a chest workout.

Today I went for a mountain bike ride in Vietnam over in Milford. My god am I out of shape.  And that is what it is, but it sucks to know that I'm starting over again.  And that's the way it is.

Day 13

Right. Another day of intesity and Im feeling spent.  All good.  I did

  • Wide-grip neck press/incline dumbbell press (4×8+4×8)   35  30 30 30/ 25  25  20 20
  • Side laterals/dumbbell side swings (4×8+4×6 each side) 10 10 10 10/ 10 10 10 10
  • Drag curl (6×6)  25  25  20  20  20 20

  • The workouts are accomanied by Your Disease by Saliva in a loop - intensity in a tune. 

    My form is very good, but I have to keep at that. It's clear in the mirror that something is just beginning to change.

    Weight: 182. 8
    BF %:  24

    The program continues.  I will be breaking out both road and mountain bikes when the weather break.  One of the things that is reccomended is walks - incline.  Ive not done that yet.  The other thing that I've got to start up is a ab routine of some sorts.

    The eats this week are good.  A few beers here and there, but lunches are spot on .... well, almost.

    A good start.

    Ms Ntckfit started a new job yesterday.  :)

    Day 6

    Up at 5:10 and got ready for a walk.  Grabbe a leash for my dog, put on some warm clothes and head out the door.  It was for 15 minutes at a brisk pace.  The thing that I'm very conscious of is the fact that my foot needs to be rehabbed from a tendency to get stress fractures.  Slow and steady is the key  - and to start this slow is a good thing.

    Meeks scared a skunk on the walk, and luckily, we were out of its range, because I could smell that it sent somthing our way.

    Day 5

    Okay.  Here I am in the afternoon at home, and I'm getting ready to work out.  That is cool, as I have not done so in a long while.  This is an absolute process, and I'm encouraged that I've been getting up more in the am and working out, eating a lot cleaner, a lot, and my energy level is up.  It just feels good working out again.  So, here we go .....

  • 25 Deadlifts (3×8)
  • 20 Incline dumbbell press (3×8)
  • 10 Dumbbell side swings (3×6)
  • 15 Drag curl (3×8)

  • Complete.  Time for Recovery drink and to chill.

    Day 4

    It's 5:34 and I post my workout.   The HP is working for me as it's short and sweet.  My arms are burning right now.  It's funny that 25 minutes of intense workouts are, essentially, going to kick my muscles asses.  Wait and see.   Now, the incline walk is up next for ten minutes. 

    Today:


  • Bent over rows (3×8)              25 lbs
  • Dumbbell kickbacks (3×8)     15 lbs
  • Reverse curl (3×12)                 10 lbs

    Day 3



    It's 5:39 am and I just finished a workout.  Which is a very good thing.  I'm working on the HP layout of excersises - intensity and then some.   My muscles are burning.  I will be adding a regular ab routine to the mix any day now.  Still geting used to getting up at in the AM.   What is odd, really, is how light each excersise is - still have to tweak - but the fact that I do these things super slow - I mean - slow - is what accounts for the light weight.   Time will show strength improvement.  Time in.  Feel good and a tad tired still. 

    HP

    20 #  Deadlifts (3×8)                         Add more weight
    15#   Incline dumbbell press (3×8)
    10#   Dumbbell side swings (3×6)   Add more weight
    20#   Drag curl (3×8)

    Right - Day 1 & 2

    Yesterday   Yoga Stretch

    Today - Hollywood Physique - Back, Tri and Arms.   This workout is not that much, as compared to P90 X.  Finished almost.

    Back - Heavy Pants 20#
    Tris -   On the Back Tri curls  20#
    Seated Bicep curls  20#
    Incline Walk - 10 Mins.

    On the path again.  It odd and a little intesting that I've reached an age where my fitness level is at a low in many ways.  Although I did get out last week and skied my ass off and ripped it up two days in a row. 

    Later
