Lol, them vids :giggle:

I'm ending week 9 tomorrow, I am part of it, just not very public with it ;)

IF 18/6 with OMAD twice a week
1500 cals max a day with Sundays 2500 cals
6 days a week cardio and weights (just an hour to 90 mins)

Already lots of weight gone and really enjoying my newfound fitness and have more than once had a read here to keep the inspiration up

Haha glad to see you part of the "crew". Pls pop in here makes things a little easier with regards to motivation!
 
I've come to realise.. I'm lacking on the excercise part. I'm reasonably good on the diet part (self control is fairly strong).... but work/family/studies all get in the way of the exercise. It used to be 4-5 times per week in the good ol' days... last 2 weeks have been 1 or 2 times a week.

No more.

Gonna plan the crap outta my days. Everything's gonna have it's slot and if I miss it i'll need to make it up in an off period. I might just do the morning thing... thanks @Snyper564

Its a pleasure man!

As I mentioned I can control my morning I can be up at 4:45am done by 6am and be just a little ahead of everyone else. I get into the office at 6:30/7:30 am dep on where I am based for the day and I am there 1-2 hours ahead of everyone.

I dont play catch up I am already rolling when ppl walk in, although this wont work for everyone its what works for me.

As much as I would love to sleep in gym/run in the evening if a meeting/work pops up that goes out the window. BUT at 4:45am till 6am for that time no one has control on that time.

I am married no kids at the moment so this is what works for me!
 
I was running with my dogs a few years ago (playing with a ball or something) and I needed to jump over the flagstone path. One and a half meters wide, grass on either side.

I planted my foot and jumped but nothing happened. I knew exactly how hard I needed to jump to make it but my muscles just couldn't comply. All I could do was tuck and roll.

Scary experience.

Still constantly amazed at your stamina with skipping. I doubt I'd make even 2 minutes!
 
Interesting. I'm guessing initial improvements when you start training can be pretty quick.
I'm a lot more sore this morning than I was after sessions earlier this week. So I guess I have to work harder to get my pulse up to the target... Certainly felt like it as well...

Do more weights then cardio stopped with my personal trainer so I'm trying to do balance.

My primary goal is to get cardio fit, not to build strength really except in abs and quads.

Me too ;)

When I started I couldn't do 10 in a row. It took very long for me to get up to 30. I got stuck there for quite a while until I started jumping barefoot. Whipping your toes when you mess up is a powerful motivator.

Now I really enjoy it. I don't really notice the time passing besides song changes. I'm mostly just scanning my body for muscles that shouldn't be tight or things out of position etc. (and trying some fancy moves every now and then).


Edit: All units in the above post are skips not minutes. I don't think I've ever gone more than 5 or 6 minutes continuously without messing up, I just start again without really resting. If you don't ever fail you're not pushing yourself.

Off topic again cycling helps or is it a waste of time?

Everythign helps! Just some more than others.

At the moment I do
15/20 minute rowing, 15 minute stepper (this thing is an absolute killer), 15 minute cycle

I use it sort of as my cool down but it still burns calories and its still excercise, I wouldnt do it as my full cardio workout but it does form part of it.

This is my non-running day schedule...
