So, started the New Year with some moderate exercise.
Did 1hr and 40 minutes on my exercise bike this evening, and if the computer is to be believed burned just over 1,000 Kcals.
Goals for this year, to be able to do 50 dips, and 50 press ups, each in one individual set, I'm close.
10k road run in June.
Half marathon in Sept.
Also be nice to be able to manage 10 pull ups, and lift 60 kilos over my head. I've started looping a resistance band around my rack, and putting one knee in it to give me a boost on pull ups - saw that as a recommended technique for improving pull ups.
Think 100 kilo bench press might be ambitious, but it is on the wish list. 60 kilos overhead, dunno. I remember thinking I'd never do 50, and I have once managed 56. |

So I haven't weighed myself yet as I have the shits and it skews the results but I want to get down to 12st 7lb (175lb/80kg)
Was 13'10 before Christmas but expect to be 14st now.
Complete 16KM in under 1:30 and hopefully if I can shake off my current knee injury do a half marathon in the autumn in under 1:50. (Weight loss will be key to this I think)
Spend some time on the weights with no figures in mind, just trying to develop some lean muscle to take up the slack from where the fat has been for a long time!
Good luck with your goals everyone |

Just weight myself, 82.7 kilos
however, I can do as many pull ups as I ever could, so.......
a few weeks of eating clean, and running, my weight should drop down, and pull ups should get easier, and I can do more. |

Yes, I have Fitnesster publisher Marcin Gmyz, think it cost like 89p or something
It has Press Ups, Squats, Pull Ups and Crunches on it, doesn't have a suddenly impossible curve on it, and the rest breaks vary depending on the point in the cycle.
I also have Dips Trainer pubsliher Gustavo Martins
I've had best results from Fintesster press ups.
Currently I'm rebuilding from about 102 press ups, I did reach 130 at one point, though I've yet to manage 50 in a single set, I'm nearly there. Got to 48 once.
This afternoon I ran 11k in just under 1hr, which isn't bad as I did 1h40min on my exercise bike the evening before. |

Bought a pup. She will need lots of exercise. I foresee much walking. Then maybe some cycling to run her because I
can cycle, but I'm fecked if I can run. When shes grown into herself a bit of course. For now the back garden is a little
overwhelming for her. But I reckon this year will see me get a bit fitter. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha
