Argyle's Fitness Challenge

(1/1)

Argyle:
Morning Guys,

Right the time has come, Maisie is now 1 so I have to get back on the waggon and work on the old fitness.  I have gone in 3 years from being a competetive rower who trains six days a week, to a resident couch potato, well resident baby sitter anyhow!  I long to get the old levels of fitness back. 

Here is my plan:

Swim (64 lengths - 1mile) twice a week
Badminton (1 hour) once a week (very competetive)
Basketball (Full game once a week) winter only

Focused home based resistance:
Focus on Abs, back, biceps and triceps for balance - lower body is pretty good anyway.
5 days out of seven
2 sets of 20 on each with medium heavy weight, no girly sit ups feet tucked right in to make it harder.  Increase reps by 10% each week.

I am recovering from a virus right now so plan to start this weekend with a game of badminton this Sunday!

Sly Red:
Hey Argyle,

I salute you.  A great workout routine is the best way to keep feeling good physically and mentally.

StumpyDave:
Go for it, Argyle.
I'd dropped my training levels down and decided this weekend to get back into shape.  I've got to shift these love handles.
I'm working to cover 6 days a week:
Run 2 miles every morning
Monday - teach Kung Fu class
Tuesday - Home based resistance training - core and upper body
Wednesday - 2 hour Kung Fu class
Thursday - 1.5 hour Kung Fu class
Friday - Home based resistance training - core and upper body
Saturday - Heavy bag workout
Sunday - rest

I'm cutting down on fat (and general volume of food).
I need to build a diet to reduce carb intake as well.

Keep us posted on progress.

Good luck on your goals!  O0
