Advice needed,

When i left school use to go to gym and was in decent shape but like most people stopped going and got fat lol , a couple of years ago i did about 6 months weight training at home and was happy with the results (3 or 4 days a week) Since going back to my old job this has stopped and i have put weight back on

Problem is the only chance i get to exercise is the weekend by which time i think theres no point, Is it worth weight training just at the weekend? or would i be better off taking up jogging etc? Im thinking i should go cardio to lose between 1 and 2 stone then switching back to weights? just dont want to waste my weekends on the weights if its not really enough

Thanks for any advise sorry about the essay and i Honestly have virtually no spare time during week

 

anything is better than nothing mate....ok you're not going to see results as fast, but it's far from a waste of time. If you are just looking to lose weight, then I would be hitting the cardio at least one of the two days, if not both.

 

Why no time to train......what job do you do? 10 weeks before a fight I get up at 4am and go for a 4 mile jog. I do this 4 times a week. Once finished my jog I go back to bed for an hour then go to work ( I work as a scaffholder) Once i get back home I get to the gym and spend no longer than 45 mins in there then onto the bag for 25-30 mins. I always make sure im home and dry by 7pm.
Training can be a real shit sometimes....but....put in the work and see the results even if it does mean getting up at 4am for a jog!! Do that and do weights at weekends. 1st session being lunch time Saturday and 2nd being Sunday eve. Go heavy on whatever you do....you have 5 days to repair!!

 

Truck driver up at 3am ussually done between 4 - 7 pm and away all week in truck, So best going heavy on weights at weekend and try and get my lazy arse jogging during the week lol . Only ever tried jogging on a tradmill and it hurts the shins after about 7 mins

 

Fuck me mate......thats some serious hours you work

 

Can you not Do some form of exercise during tips? Or are they quick?

 

would like to say yes but it will never happen, Think i will go heavy with weights Sat and Sunday then once im in routine try throwing cardio (jogging) when i get a chance to run.

Just need to start with some easy basic weight exercises this weekend lol

 

get a tread mill in the truck?guess driven wont help

 

Yeah and maybe a swimming pool too?

I dont know your status but I work within the shipping industry and quite alot of our container tips take 3-4 hours. You havent said what you deliver so it might not be the case for you but can you not get stuck in with the unloading? I know your insurance doesnt cover you and all that bollocks that drivers normally come out with but thats just their way of shirking work.

If you drive a cab and pull a trainler maybe you could strap a bike to the back of it? I've seen that done before many time (usually for pub runs) but you can use it for exercise.

 

Know what you mean about lazy drivers i always help and do a lot of tail lift work to shops etc so that helps, Rigid at moment so bike is not a option although i wouldnt fancy strapping my bike to back of unit with price of scrap lol

thanks for ideas
