ITB training

Into The Blue

47% bf, 260lb,
Thurs 19th
1 st session pucked after 15 minutes warm up
Managed 45 more mins.


Edit, forgot to add goals, i'm 6'2" and broad shouldered, in the right tee shirt, you'd not know i'm about 4 or 5 stone overweight.

So main priority, loose the excess belly, hip, neck, cheek weight, improve fitness levels.
Short term goal, capable of running/cycling for more than 15 min without the risk of heart attack.
Medium term goal goal, 2017 Art O Neill challenge.
Long term goal, higher energy levels, not be fatigued all of the time, keep up with my 1 & 2 yr olds.

Welcome and good luck with the training and log

Often people forget to get enough sleep and drink enough water when they are making a change. Going to bed the same time ever night, and drinking more than 3 lts of water a day will help a lot too.

Any lunch? missing meals slows down your metabolism. Even if its some fruit for lunch you need to eat something then as its not sustainable.

Also first day 45 mins, second day 90 mins ... is not sustainable. If you are only starting off then every 2nd day for the first few weeks makes more sense.

If you want some help and guidance drop me a PM as I went through something similar back about 5 years ago.

Steak was at 1. Tea will be a vegetarian stir fry.

Day one (and every tues, thurs and sat from now) was mentored circuit training.
Breaking that up with cardio (cycle/walk/jog) on Mon, Wed and Fri

Thanks for that.
