I've been up and down with fitness for a long time due to injury & the mental effects of the injuries that I've had.
I've had several logs & this time I am determined to succeed, set some goals & hit them.
I am doing a marathon next April, which I want to do in under 4 hours. I also want to be able to do 3/4/5 in the gym & start playing basketball (never played before, went to a nets game in NYC and loved it!)
Currently, I am stiff as sh!t, can bench about 80kg as 1 RM, no idea on how much i can squat & can run about 3 miles comfortably. I have a loooooong way to go, but this time I am dedicated to the cause. I have just bought a dog, who is going to be joining me jogging I am 180lbs and around 15-18% bf. I want to be the same weight, maybe a bit less and 10-12%.
I have benched over 200lbs before at 150lbs at 17 years old. So the goals I'm looking at are not unacheivable.
I am going to jog 3/4 times a week initially around 2-3 miles.
I am going to do yoga once a week to loosen my muscles.
I am going to cut refined sugar and junk food out of my diet as much as I can. I am going to eat mainly fresh meat, veg & carbs, but I am not going to take my diet so seriously that it isnt sustainable.
I am going to start off doing a basic 3x5 routine in the gym with simple lifts alongside a lot of core and stretching to get my back and knee into shape. I am not fit at the minute so I want to keep it simple. I need to see a chiropractor to work on a trapezius weakness as well which has been a constant niggle.
