Default my weightloss/training diary. update! 25/2

right, was first day at the gym today! i only had a fairly mild workout as ive been on a control and restraint course two days this week which has FUCKED me back arms and ribs are agony!

measured myself when i got back and thought id pop up my results on here and do a weekly update. will take a pic later and put that up aswell but as of today:

chest: 44"/112.5cm - 43"/110cm
waist: 40"/102cm - 38.5"/98cm
left arm: 14.5"/37cm - 14.5"/37cm
right arm: 14.5"/37cm - 14.5"/37cm

plan is 20mins of cardo every day minimum, then next week start a weight training program a mate has made up for me. proper diet of grains/oats for brekkie, then typical high protien meals with decent carbs and low fat throughout the day, and loads of fruit and water.

will update as i go! hopefully see some results soon and be in decent shape for summer!

Good stuff Stu , Its amasing how quickly your body adapts to extra cardio.
2 weeks back I started on the cycling machine 30mins per day, gradualy i've been able to increase the resistance and breaking through the pain barrier/s are becoming less and less harsh.
I look to every 5min incriment as time for water, so a drink on 5min 10min etc etc I found it helps.

Enjoy

didnt go yesterday, forgot why but one day wouldnt hurt anyway! back there today after work, hit the weights today and im totally shocked how weak i am!!! not got my notebook to hand and cant remember the weights i was pushing but proper shocking! couldnt complete the full programme my mate knocked up for me as i simply couldnt lift anymore weights i got home and litterally couldnt lift my arms above my head in the shower

ache like fuck now too!

dunno if ive lost much weight/size this week so far but ive ordered some 'suppliments' though so should see some decent improvements within the next few weeks

left arm: 14.5"/37cm - 14.5"/37cm
