End of week 3, sweat, a farting back and a slap in the bollocks with a body lastics band. Well you can’t say this challenge isn’t entertaining. Hopefully I’ll get through this week with no embarrassing moments, then the end of week 4 photos.

just do it

AHAHAHA, PETE, YOU RULE!!!

Well week 4 already were did the last three weeks go? I divided this weeks 8 exercises into groups of 2 like super sets, this allowed me to set up the equipment so I could do one after the other and rest while I set up for the other 2. Did 1 minute on each and 4 rounds. I’m sure my balance ball has a mind of its own, its sole purpose in life is to shoot off across the room when you least expect it to.

Cardio night, managing to hit 180 bpm heart rate now with a quicker recovery time too. Need to get rid or the fat and see what’s underneath.

Sounds like you getting shredded there Pete, with all that cardio keep it up. Im gonna do some HIIT today aswell, it's gonna be rough

Hi Steve,I am trying hard with the cardio, I can feel my body core is getting stronger, but I can’t see it yet. I had some great comments from you guys after my end of week 2 photos were posted, which has motivated me to try even harder over these next 2 weeks, just hope I can pull it off.

I have no doubt you can pull it off mate, you have made really good progress so far and i know you wont stop suprising us. Keep up the hard work and the weight will fly off.

Thanks Sean;
I know I’ll get there, just need to be patient. (Not one of my strong points). Day 3 of the week is always the toughest for me, and last night was no exception, muscles felt quit fatigued even before I started, may be I’m lacking something in my diet? (Any ideas anybody?) Still, no pain no gain. I know the rest of the week will be better. Just need to keep looking foreard.

If you post your diet, we can tell you what you are lacking.

Well here we go; I know I’m going to get my ass kicked about this. Breakfast, 2 bits of whole meal toast with clover spread, nothing till lunch, chicken or tuna with salad sandwich for lunch, nothing mid afternoon, evening meal, fish, chicken, or lean meat with veggies rice or potatoes (eaten about 1.5 hours before my work out) banana + apple + yogurt after work out, grapes to munch on as well in the evening. I drink 4-5 cups of coffee during the day at work with 1 sugar (cut down from 2) and about 1.5 -2 litres of water.

Cardio went well last night; I’m aiming to fit 2 more smaller meals in during the day. I need a bit more fuel for the boiler now

Hey there Pete

Good job kicking those Cardios. Keep it up!

About the meals, its very important that you get those 2 small meals into your daily diet. You got already a great progress, but to maximize it you really need to get those 5-6 small meals instead of the 3 regular ones. You dont have to rush things up... try adding 1 small meal... maybe next week get 2 or 3... eventually you will get used to it and do it as an habit.
(i suck at it too... but already managed to have 4 - 5 every day)

Yea true story there Manny! I am a big fan of grazing throughout the whole day, but my main meals are slightly larger than my snacks throughout the day. Snacking is sweet because when you eat 3 large meals a day your body is using most of your energy to digest the food, with snacking your body has more energy to do other things, like working out

Smaller Meals = More usable energy!!

Steve

Thanks for that advice guys. I will implement what you have said, and let you know the results. Looking back over my diary I keep at home of my work outs and how I feel, there is defiantly a pattern forming of day 3 being the day when my body seems to struggle, and then improves as the week goes on. Last night of cardio tonight, and then the end of week 4 photos.

No problem man!

Here are my week 1 v week 4 photos http://thesixpackjourney.blogspot.com/ not had much time to post today, every body seemed to need there bike repaired after the first sunny weekend of the yesr.

HOLY SHIT PETE! That is amazing progress! Dude!

Keep that up - its working like a charm!

Look at his face... that's what this is all about...

Simply impresive.

Way to go Pete

If you're not on the right way....no one is!!

Excellent Progress Pete! Can definately see great improvement every week. Keep it up and you'll be there in no time!

Thanks for all the positive comments guys, the weight loss seems to have slowed down a bit now, as I am eating more to try and counter the muscle fatigue I had last week. I’m keeping the cardio sessions to 6 per week to try and lose the fat.

I might end up chasing you instead of having you chasing me mate..! - Your progress looks amazing so far..

Keep it up!

I took Steve and Mannys advise from last week, and added the extra meals during the day. The results have been good from the point of view that I feel less fatigued during my work outs, but my body weight has stayed the same for the week, I hope its just fat turning into muscle.

jesus from those pictures the your face looks so different and the body has completely changed im thinking you have a high chance if you keep this up of winning the 16 weeks. I cant believe the change.

sorry just read previous page about meals and I totaly agree get to at least 5 meals it really kicks your motabilism into work but make sure its 5 smaller meals not 5 big meals. To be honest I know people are gunna say about this but I havnt done any cardio except squash (1/2 time a week) for the last 2 weeks due to really not having any time and illness but the weight has dropped off just from the nutrition and eating 5/6 meals, im still doing resistance and I will start cardio this/next week as im on half term I can really kick the cardio in and bang up the resistance training.

Something just to help with the small meals. As you are at work it may be difficult like I find to have the extra meals however I find that corn tortilla wraps and tacos are god send. Just cook up a chicken/ turkey breat through in some salad and wahlah easy quick meal also I think it was steve who mentioned blueberries and cottage cheese is amazingly nice also added benifit when I have it my mates all look really interested and it looks really nice as well.

again I am impressed by your progress. How have you found the circuit training last and this week? for me I finding it hard to push myself weight wise and when I start to feel a burn time is up. Im using the black bodylastic for most with red and black for bicep and shoulder press but still I prefer supersets.

p.s. sorry about spelling im just about to rush out and wanted to type this.
