Last nights training

Decided to give a local class a go at the YMCA called box fit. Session was for one hour and was in a circuit style. A lot of bag work which is exactly what i love to do.

All the exercises together emphasized a whole body workout, primarily to increase cardiovascular system and also to improve muscle endurance.

The inclusion of a floor to ceiling speed ball worked timing and co ordination and the different bags allowed to practice different punching techniques.

Any ways woke up with some aching muscles so did the job.

Will be doing some foot work drills later on using an agility ladder and weather permitting will do a run tonight.

Morning session and a great app

Nothing like a good punchbag workout to get the blood flowing in the morning. 30ish minutes on the bag consisting of 5 minute rounds and instead of breaks in-between i did 20 pressups, situps, windmill and back extensions. Heart is pumping for the full 30 minutes and is a great cardio workout. Practised some technique on the bag, mainly jumping spinning back kicks as im a bit rusty at it. Burnt approx 40 calories in all. As usual 3 poached eggs on toast and a nice cuppa.

Just been looking around for apps to download and found a handy one called BigOven. Its basically 170,000+ recipes to chose from. Great to get you a little more inventive in the kitchen. Only downside is it doesnt give you calorie statistics. A good little book to use to workout calorie, protein, carbs etc of food you eat can be found on amazon for a very low price and is handy for those of you wanting to be a bit more scientific with what your eating.

Worrying statistics

Have you looked around recently and everywhere you look there are people overweight?

Well according to studies the Experts predict that if the current rate of growth continues, three-quarters of the population could suffer the ill effects of excess weight within 10 to 15 years.

The health risks associated with excess weight are numerous, the worst being premature death. So why then do people let themselves get so big that they have to have an operation?? ( of course people with medical conditions which cause massive weight gain or loss i am not referring to as its not their fault)
I am referring to the people that cost the NHS 500 million pounds a year and the wider economy over 2 billion pounds a year in lost productivity.

 If keeping healthy and fit can make you live a longer and happier life then why arnt more people doing it, is it because the government has recommended that you must spend 150mins a week doing exercise??Yea i suppose that is a bit much to ask isnt it...NOT

The reason of my rant today is that i saw a child, no more than 8 years old id say who was soo overweight he couldnt bend down to tie his shoe laces before he went to school. His mother thought it was highly funny ( she  was absolutely massive and couldn't do it either without sitting the child on a wall then tieing it for him).

What people do with their own lives is their prerogative and their right but surely its wrong and simply heartless to let a child be brought up in a way that quite obviously he is going to suffer in the long term.

Thats my thoughts for the day, let me know your views?

interesting read found here:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/health/physical_health/conditions/obesity.shtml

Weights circuit and run later

Usual start to the today, poached eggs and a lovely cuppa tea.

Checked stocks and shares, down slightly as one of my shares got some good news on increased profits and improved earnings potential for the year (yea i know what your saying why would it go down on that, well the directors decided to siphon off a load of shares a lot lower than their value to give cash back to shareholders, should have gave a large dividend instead but ahhh well thats director thinking for you).

Circuit style weights session to start the day. 6 exercises performed 10 times, then a one minute break and then the whole thing repeated 4 times. After this 8 minutes of 4 exercises, again 10 each exercise but perform as many sets in the 8 minutes as possible.

The main exercises were:
Squat with dumb bells
T push ups
Sit ups with 10kg dumb bell
Bent over rows
Pull ups
Shoulder press

Eight minute exercises:
Torso twists
Bicep curls
Overhead tricep extension
Front Kicks.

Finish with a full body stretch to prevent injury.

May go for a run later but what id really like to do is some skipping. Believe it or not skipping is more beneficial than running and great for improving your co ordination.

Got some great programmes to write for clients later. If your after a fitness programme then check out my website for details http://www.houseoffitness.co.uk/.

Oh and id like to recommend groupon, have been using their services recently and you can really save a lot of money with them.



Have a good day people and stay healthy.

Morning Run and a poached egg

What better way to start your day than a nice refreshing morning run.

Weather in Lytham St Annes is lovely this morning so had a 30 minute run beside the sea. Set a continuous pace of about 6 mph and burnt off a good 325 calories. Can i just say to those ppl living in the st annes area to please refrain from letting your dogs sh*t all over the footpaths, any more shi* and i may as well use skis and just slide to where i want to go.

Prior to running i had a glass of water and a banana for an energy boost and did about 3 minutes of dynamic stretches before starting the run  slowly to make sure my muscles are warmed up and also to prevent any injuries.

 I run with my  mobile for the music and also because i use it to track the run i do. I use an app called Sports Tracker which records all the data from the run, like distance, time, calories, average pace etc and also it produces a map of the route taken and the best part is the app is free (yes i know impressive eh). Of course you will need a phone with GPS connection to get the data,i use the samsung S2 and find the GPS to be highly responsive and the signal is good also.

If you run with headphones/ earphones then i recommend you get a pair designed for sports so that they will stay on your ear and you wont look like a prat having to continuously put them back on. I use  Sony MDR-J10L Over Ear Clip Style Headphones which are priced at £6 from amazon and to be honest for the money are the best i have ever used.



So 30 minute run then back home for some poached eggs on wholemeal toast and a lovely cuppa tea,brewed for 3 minutes for optimum taste and to get maximum benefits from the antioxidants in the tea bag (am i classed as sad now hmmm).

Bit of share investing, bought into Sagentia at 90.8p hoping for a quick 15-20% return within the next 3 weeks. Couple of training sessions and programmes to write in the day and then its fun and games for the weekend, hope the weather stays nice.

Check out my website http://www.houseoffitness.co.uk/ for offers on health and fitness products and also if your interested in any of my personal training sessions get in touch with me personally at houseoffitness@hotmail.co.uk and quote March Offers as the subject title and il give you an extra 10% off all services.

So there you have it, thats my morning so far.

Keep posted over the weekend for more training diaries.

Not feeling 100% today. Was originally going to do some yoga but decided just to have a rest instead so a good meal and an early night tonight so can get plenty of sleep.

No point in training when it can very well be counter productive to the end goal.

Thermobol Test End

Well after taking thermobol for two weeks i have have taken the decision to stop it due to its side effects.

I have been taking them for the 15 days now and have seen the following improvements: 
Increase of muscle by 2% 
Lost 3IB of weight 
Decrease of body fat of 2%

So would i say they have helped me at all? Not really. 
These are the kind of results i would expect to see over this amount of time with a good diet and regular exercise, without taking these pills.

The disadvantages i found were numerous and i know other people who have noticed these same side effects:

Increased blood pressure 
Increased resting and active heart rate 
Heart burn 
Sleepless nights 
Upset stomach 
Bloated feeling 
Increase in trips to the toilet 
For a few days i started getting a tingling feeling on the left side of my face, once i stopped the pills the tingling stopped =S

So although i am a huuge fan of maximuscle products (i spend over a £1000 a year with them) i would have to say i wouldnt recommend these, for me the negatives outweigh the benefits and at times i genuinely felt ill with them.

What i will say is that they give you an energy boost because of the high caffeine which definitely helped me train harder. Perhaps the caffeine free would give less side effects??

In addition they are not exactly cheap either, for the price every month you could get a full gym membership at some gyms.


So unfortunately im only giving this product a 4/10

Todays Workout

Did a kenpo workout from P90X, last about 45 minutes and is a great cardio, fat burner workout. Had the heart rate monitor on and was working around 145.

Basically the workout is a series of different punches and kicks and combinations repeated a number of times.

I made the exercises harder by adding 1.5 kg dumb bells and 1 kg ankle weights.

Burned tonnes of calories and felt great doing it.

Maximuscle Offer

Letting you know of a maximuscle off that has just came out today, 33% off any order until  next
tuesday.

This may come in handy for anyone wanting to top up their nutrition or buy any new fitness gear.

Get double reward points and a Free Shaker on your 1st order at maximuscle.com with code 112-606-371 or visit www.maximuscle.com/ref/112606371

Lunch Time

Im getting a few people asking me about what im eating at the moment, so from time to time il add on here what im consuming.

Its important that you eat in relation to your goal and for me its fat loss but remaining strong (i dont want to lose muscle mass)

So my diet includes loads of protein but at the moment im reducing my carbs and cutting out chocolates and sweets ( well 5 days of the week anyways, got to have some luxuries in life).

Any ways for lunch today i had:

• Hand full of spinach leaves
• Half tin of baked beans
• Half of a bagel
• 4 asparagus tips
• Glass of vimto ( not fizzy)

Essentially just a glorified beans on toast but with some greens. Try to have more wholemeal foods (brown bread etc) in your diet as you will feel fuller for longer.

You can find some really useful tips on nutrition on my website and if your really struggling with your nutrition then why not order a nutritional  assessment to see just exactly what you are eating,

Cardio and weights circuit

Cardio today consisted of 30 minutes of punching, kneeing and kicking on the punchbag (no elbows this time as got carried away the last time and cut my elbow so need to heal =S  )

Finished off with 25 minutes of the following super circuit:

1. Squat and shoulder press 20kg followed by Bicep curl on the gym ball, one leg up. 2 sets 20 reps (same on all exercises)
2. Chest press on the balance ball followed by bent over row
3. Lateral raises followed by press ups using twisting bars and feet on the balance ball

Finished off with some stretches, as always developmental on the hamstrings, chest and back.

So an hours session, loads of calories burned and my muscle endurance improved. Good session.

Thermobol Test Update

Just thought id fill you in on the thermobol supplement im taking to improve results from training.

Have been taking the maximuscle product for 4 days now and have found the following:

• It can give you gas
• Upset tummy
• Keeps you awake if taken too late in the day
• They can give you bad breath
• I have found that i needed to increase my intake of water over the day as became more dehydrated

It is too soon to comment if in fact they are having any effect at all compared to normal training but i do feel i have more energy throughout the day although i have had somewhat agitated sleep since monday  and have found myself waking up at random points and taking longer to actually get to sleep.

Again early days so will give it a few more and if the side effects dont wear off will cease taking any more, mostly because need my sleep to recover from the hard training days.

Just some quick information on thermobol itself as taken from the maximuscle website:

http://www.maximuscle.com/thermobol

Im holding out high hopes for the product as it has great reviews and maximuscle is well known for their quality products, protein supplements being one i have used for many years.

30 minutes Bagwork

30 minutes punching, kneeing and elbowing a 50kg punchbag.

Was just working my technique and kept up a random pace and used ti as one of my cardio sessions for this week.

If you do any bag work be sure to wear gloves and hand wraps to prevent any joint injury.

Yoga and stretches

Im a big fan of P90X from the United States. I quite often include workouts from Tony Hortons videos in my routine. Today i did the Yoga X work out.

A lot of people dont realise that yoga is also a cardiovascular exercise and is great for burning fat, i had a heart rate monitor on and at some points was reaching 155 beats per minute which is pretty good considering im not actually moving!

Anyway an hour and half of yoga and stretches, feel great from doing it and much more loose compared with this morning.

My favourite move this time was the downward dog

I find this pose very beneficial for the hamstrings (mine are quite tight) and as an added bonus holding the position works your shoulders.

For more info on health and fitness visit the home of fitness at http://www.houseoffitness.co.uk/

Thermobol Test Start

Ok i mentioned the other day that im goin to try out a product from Maximuscle called thermobol to see if it can do what it claims, to optimize the results you get from training.

I have put some unwanted weight on over the xmas period (damn the xmas cake) so im incorporating this into my diet to see if in fact it does make a difference.

I went on the composition monitor this morning and the results were:

• 23% body Fat
• 38% Muscle
• 78Kg Weight

Now as most of you know composition monitors arnt an exact science as they can can tempermental depending on time of day, how hydrated you are, how much exercise you have been doing and so on, i have stuck to the instructions of using a monitor correctly and will be doing so eveytime i use it to keep it a fair test.

Now the advice given with thermobol is to take three times a day on an empty stomach together with a healthy diet and an active lifestle including intense exercise. Il be doing intense workouts a minimum of four days a week and my diet is healthy so im ticking all the boxes. I have a supply for 1 month so at the end of the one month il measure myself again and see what the results are.

The target is to lose 8IBs of fat, 1-2IBs fat loss per week is a recommened healthy and sustainble weight loss ampount so i will stick to this.

Recovery Day with some light cardio

Pushed myself yesterday and muscles are pretty sore. Not going to do any form of resistance of weight training as muscles need time to rest but have done 20 minutes solid of shadow boxing with 1.5kg weights on ankles and 3 kg dumbells, just went through some drills including:

• Faint jab then side kick to face

Plenty of stretches but mainly focusing on the box stretch and side splits as i want to increase my flexibility.

• Overall total body exercise
• Improved flexiblilty
• Improved core strength

Iv also incorporated 30 mins of cardio at the end of the session for increased fat burning (bit of weight to shift from xmas) and to improve my cardio output. Today i did random pace on the upright cycle.

Challenge for 2012?

Just got this link through entitled tough mudder.http://toughmudder.co.uk/

Got to admit as far as obstacle courses go this looks the best, its got fire, ice cold water, electric stun cables and much more. Definitely going to think about doing this end of the year.

Check out the requirements and training vids to give you an idea if you are strong enough to do it and then check out the actual video of people competing and if your not scared then hey why not give it a go.

Loved the comment by one of the entrants, ''Theres not alot to do in england cos of the bad weather so anything for entertainment you gotta take it'' haha if england is this boring that you gotta do things like this for entertainment then it must be pretty bad.

All in all looks insanely fun and a great goal for any of you adrenaaline seekers out there.
