Good cardio last night, warmed up for quite a while as legs were a bit stiff, useing a cross trainer i got on ebay for £16. Will start running when the weather gets better to mix it up abit.

Hey Pete, if you want a serious cardio workout that works like crazy try hill sprints, you will never touch another treadmill again. I got this sweet interval training mp3 for if you running outside. It's a lady talking and she tells you exactly what to do and when during the run and it also plays awesome tunes. If you want it lemme know and I will post it in the links thread.

Consistancy is key
Steve

I want it

Sounds nicely intriguing! ;-)
where did u find that then?

it's like a gps navigator or sumthing ;-)))

Hi Steve, sounds like a great idea for when the weather gets better and i can see wre i'm going . Will keep an eye out in the links section for it. Many thanks,

Pete.

Good night last night, leg muscles abit stiff but some deep heat and a good warm up got me through.Then a good soak in the bath.

Will post it in the links section tonight, I would do it right now but it's cardio time...time to die

Having some trouble uploading that HIIT track, but I'm working on it. Will keep you posted

You can't rush perfection!

Great cardio last night, music really helps the motivation. Just sorted the blog out and will post photos there http://thesixpackjourney.blogspot.com/

Yea good music in a cardio session helps alot, I either listen to linkin park, the hives, static x or alien antfarm. Those bands really get me pumped

i like the a mixture espcially a bit more heavy nearer the end as it helps me push out the last bits.

Pete mate good job as they said on a advert for a show which i cant remember when talking about pain "what does not kill you will only make you stronger".

You're right, Aaron.. "Pain is weakness leaving the body"..

Last night of resistance training last night feeling better as the week goes on, managing to do all the sets ok apart from the pull-ups can only manage half of them but that will come with time. My balance ball came in the post yesterday ready of when it’s needed; my body elastics are on there way from the states and should be here in time.

Just do it
pete.

Good night of cardio Saturday night, went to a trade show on Sunday for the bike shop in Birmingham, long drive but got some good deals, Top tip of the day don’t open packages with a sharp knife, I did and made a small hole in my balance ball, good job I can mend punctures.

Ha ha, excellent tip there!

How are you finding the exercises so far?

Sean

Hi Sean, so far so good the hardest part for me is getting started with them; I try to keep focused on how good I feel when I’ve finished. Looking forward to the end of this week, by then I should see some improvements in the photos, and my overall fitness which will help to keep me going. This forum is also a great help with a great group of people on it. Tops marks for starting it off.

That was tough last night, such anexplosive work out realy leaves you pumped once you've finished, but at the time i'm thinking o my god!
