Keys to Fitness: The last few pounds

Introduction

Hello Everyone!!

Firstly let's get the excuse of being "too old" to get in shape out of the way.
For me my birthday is just a date on a calender as i have competed for over a decade against competitors half my age. How you might ask? By having the knowledge of how the body functions and just as importantly how to get the most out of your workouts, i will pass on my wisdom & tips to you my fellow bloggers and followers.

The "Key"(s) to exercise is having a variety. First not allowing the task to become boring and/or cumbersome as you must keep the brain guessing thus eliminating the plateau effect. Also when changes are not immediate one tends to become frustrated and feels like quitting, so we are going to change this with the blog to keep the routines far from boring and productive.

Secondly i will pass on knowledge regarding nutrition and water which is critical. You can work out all you want but remember what you do during exercise is tearing down the muscle and if you don't repair and hydrate you are just wasting your time, this aspect is probably 60%+ of the equation to a healthy body

Within the continuation of this blog, I will show you how to improve your health, change your shape and improve your game.... from the serious athlete to the weekend warrior. There will be video's of weight bearing exercises per body part and routines that everyone can fit in to their schedule and lifestyle no matter how hectic it is.

And remember, there is no point in having an empire if you are not around to enjoy it. Your body is a temple!

Yours in Fitness,

The last few pounds

Those last few pounds always seems to be the hardest, or so you thought till you met the K-Man. Ok here is the plan my fitness followers, we are going to do total body workouts 3x per week with at least 1 day apart for recovery. It is intense but that's why it works; so rotating to each station and doing 8-12 reps for 3 to 4 sets and no stopping with a 2min break between the circuit Start off with squats/or leg press, then chest press (your choice of barbell or dumbbells) box jumps (18ins platform...to keep the heart rate up) back chinups or lat pulldowns and finish off with pushups that equals1 set. Then with Set 2 you would start the rotation with the pushups and finishing with the leg exercises, Set 3 again reverse the lineup, so legs to start and so on. Somebody complaining out there? we are just getting started and you got a few more to go plus once the warmer weather rolls around again you will be glad you listened. Also to throw a curveball to the brain and your metabolism we are going to have a cheat day once a week.....that got your attention (lol) Like training the same way and leveling off in results, the brain adapts to your healthy eating habits so indulge in some of your guilty pleasures and trust me you actually will lose weight and thus the last few pounds. There it is bloggers and i would suggest to do this training routine for a month then and as usual change up.
