Body Blog Day 41


Ok, so maybe it will only be weekly blogs for now... but again, my training hasn't stopped and everything is going along nicely. I am really starting to feel my chest muscles now as well as my arms, cool! I managed to double my 5km run this week and pushed out 10k's while still feeling easy at the end. I think I will keep this as a regular routine, making one of my runs a classic HIIT 5km run and the other a bit more of endurance 10km and over as I like the idea of a half tri one day. I still haven't made it to the pool yet, but that 10km run has inspired me so hopefully I will make that happen this week.

Body Blog Day 35


Well I'm Back! Not that I stopped working out or slacked off in any way with diet, motivation etc. I don't metion too much on this blog about things other than fittness, so lets just say the reason for my 10 day break from posting was due to technical glitches....

Anyway, I should be back to almost daily blogs again and as always I'm still determined as ever to find my inner six pack! The great news is the last few days have finally seen me break the 80kg barrier! It is the first time is seen the scales drop below the 80 for over 15 years! Not that i'm trying to loose too much more weight, my goal for this 12 week challenge was to get down to 78kg's and start to show off a six pack. The reason for 78kg was just guestimate that this is somewhere near where I would need to be within 12 weeks if my body fat was to be low enough to start to reveal a six pack. So with only 1kg to go, I have been cranking up my ab routine a little more to try and define those muscles. I still feel like I have a way to go with the body fat but I am only coming up to the half way mark for the first 12 weeks so I feel on track.

I have started doing dead lifts for the first time lately. Wow, these are super cool ! I thought arm work outs were great but these things are addictive! The other cool exercise I've discovered is decline push ups with your feet up on a swiss ball. They feel great for your abs as well as you really have to lock your core on to stay straight.

Ok, so I will be back to checking your posts as well from now on, thanks to Rick for wondering where I have been, you said you would keep me on track! Shredd hard, stay determined!
