So i started using kettlebells and bodyweight about 2 weeks ago after moving house and my gym, of which i was a member for 7 yrs is too far. Any gym is too far for that matter.
After finding this forum and getting a super amount of help ive decided to start my first ever log, i dout i will post here every day but hoping to use it as a place to ask any questions or get advice.
A little about me, im 37 180lbs been training for 7 yrs most of which just lazy weight lifting no real effort but very consistent.
Diet wise i pretty much eat the same every day im at work, about 150g protien 250g carbs and 100g good fats 30ish fibre.
Im not into diet as much as i used to be, 1 i cant aford it and 2 having kids makes it harder to not eat ice cream!
So now im doing a type of circuit mon and wed and simple and sinister on fridays, hoping i can use the friday as a kind of gauge as to how my fitness and strengh is improving.
Flexible steal tues and thurs poss sat sun too
So hear goes, yesterday i woke up with a very stiff Achilles, wraped it up with compress and cracked on today, i seem to be prone to injury the last few yrs.
Ive just moved home and been decorating all week plus working out so that might be taking its toll, im not sure but will just see how it feels.
Today i done
Warm up
pying squat 10kg
Bridge
Halo 10kg
X3
OA Swings 1x10 each 16kg
Row 1x10 26kg
X3
Reverse Lunge 1x6 16kg
Push up 1x20
X3
Farmers 70m 40kg
Cool down stretching
Side bends
Down dog
Low back exttention, cobra??
Lunge stretch
Calf stretch (always stiff from driving)
X2
Im mixing OA swing with 2 arm as im trying to make sure my form is perfect but starting to feel light already.
Lunge im very week at, so lowered reps from 10 to 6 as my balance isnt great and find it very challenging cardio wise.
Other that that felt good. Roll on friday hope my ankle feels better.
Shes got me doing another day of decorating so no rest for me agian today!
Thanks for all the help so far people!
