Back after a 5 year hiatus!

Hey all!

Am back after a 5 year hiatus and 20 kgs more! :-(

Will start blogging about my experience again so that if there is someone else in the world like me, let's do this together!

Not been regular

It's been two months since I started this blog but I have been the same weight since I first started :-(

I live in Delhi and currently the temperature is about 45 degrees Celsius (that's about 113 Fahrenheit!)

Went to my workout today and tried to do circuit training with abs.
Wanna get a six pack in a couple of months so started working out again. Think it will be my new goal. I hope it helps!

Wish me luck! :-)

Great links on toning up!

Workout- 11th April

Monday today. Thought to myself that I would have a good week up ahead if I make the effort to hit the gym today which I did! :-)

Did my warm-up routine for about ten minutes and went onto doing an hour of cardio and circuit weight training! :-) Super happy that I survived this routine as it is one of the few things that helps me lose my weight.

Workout- 5th April

Went to workout after 4 days :-(

Did 10 minutes of warm-up and went onto to 18 sets  of all six body parts.

Started by doing half a circuit of triceps, biceps and shoulders

Triceps: Pull Down
Biceps: Curls
Shoulders: Butterfly

After that I went onto to do legs, chest and back
Legs: Leg Press [Did loads of reps; legs are my target area :-( ]
Chest: Chest Press
Back: Lat Pulley (Be careful if you have a cervical problem)

After that I just stretched (VERY IMPORTANT TO COOL OFF)
IF WASN'T SO BAD AS I HAD MADE IT OUT TO BE cos the workout took an hour! :-)

So, if there is anyone who is losing motivation, tell yourself its just an hour and you will feel much better after getting out of the gym! :-)

Now hit the GYM :-)

1st April- My first workout after long!

Today I finally joined a new gym. Its close to my place so I thought they would be less excuses involved in terms of getting there!

Instructors were helpful.

My workout today:
Treadmill- 25 minutes
Chest- 3 varieties
-Pectorial 3 sets
-Chest Press on the Smith Machine 3 sets
-Chest Butterfly 3 sets
Cycling 30 mins

FELT GREAT! :-)

First workout for 23rd March'2011

I have been weight training on and off (MORE OFF) since August '2008. My form is great but there was something else I learned along the way- FUNCTIONAL TRAINING!
You can surf website that give you an idea about functional training. You usually have to use your own body weight for these and require little or no use of weights. (Apart from your own body weight).

BURPEES!!!! New thing I found on the net. One of the best forms of functional exercises!

Do try it out! It will get your heart rate soaring and it will tone you down! :-)

Tomorrow plan to do my weights and cardio. Haven't worked out since November 2010 so it will be quit a jolt for me tomorrow! :-(
