Well today I rode my bike for 2 miles and did 10 pushups. I'll wait a week before I check for a weight change.

This is great. I really like this. ONWARD !!! I'm really happy that my quit smoking thread has inspired some of you to take your challenges !

I'd like to be part of this one.

There's this aerobics instructor who can beat me in cardio anytime. She gives an aerobics class with a combination of different fighting styles (she's at KILLER level in Taekwondo). She really inspires me because the girl can freakin kick some butt. I've gone cycling, swimming, running with her and she creams me in endurance all the time. I'm sick and tired of it. Now seeing as I'm getting thrashed by this chick regularly I'm gonna have to do something about it (already seduced her, she still beats me).

This is not my only motivator though, I'm 34 and if I want a body like Brad Pitt in Troy anytime soon, I'd better get on with it. I also want to define myself more and I've had some slack off periods in physical activity this year thanks to gaming my butt off. I want to get fighting fit again. My posture isn't that great at times and I really need to straighten up.

So my resolution is:

• increase cardio vascular endurance and power
• build muscular strength and endurance
• build muscle mass
• achieve concrete definition - chiselled Brad Pitt Troy or Fight Club looks

Starting stats 1/1/8
Age: 34
Weight: 79 kgs / 175 pounds
Height: 185 cm / 6.07 feet

This is going to be an year long project, I'm not sure if I can get the results in a year because the Fight Club physique is very hard to accomplish, maybe I can do it in 8 months, not sure. The look is not as important as the actual physical improvement. I will have to cut it down in steps.

STEP 1 January.

• Make a solid workout plan for 12 months, month by month.
• Go to the gym, running, swimming no matter how I feel.
• Eat right, cook and take care of myself no matter how I feel.
• Sleep enough and early, rise early.
• Do at least 30 minutes meditation every other day, morning and night.
• Always practice Tantra, learn more about Tantra and do Tantric excercises no matter how I feel, at every possible occasion.

I wish you all GOOD LUCK !

I suggest more pushups, next time, do 3x5, try to get up to 3x10 eventually, just one set isn't enough to make you sweat.
I can do 3x10 but then doing them isolated is easy.

Sinana, that sounds good, i just hope you eat enough as I found out when you have no energy, going to work out is useless, you just won't be able to do a lot as you're out of energy. I may have to get used to eating more and faster.

Got it covered, loads of grains, fish, chicken, fruit, vegetables... home cooked. I'm going to go contrary to everything and do a bit of TURBOCARB in the beginning. Cutting down slowly. Let the year begin !
