Fitness galore

07 06 2009

Since my trip last year I have been fitter than I’ve been for ages, thanks to a weight-loss of about 25kg, more exercise and a healthier diet. Through kyrah’s tweets I learned about a workout program called one hundred pushups and decided to have a closer look today. I took the initial test and only managed a meager 12 good-form pushups, but they were always one of my weak spots. At least I start from the most challenging category. Through the site I also found the two related programs two hundred situps and two hundred squats, where the initial tests looked a lot friendlier: with 35 situps and 40+ squats both programs suggest that I start from week 3.

Now let’s see how effective these workouts will turn out to be.

Here’s how I accomplished the weight loss:

- A healthier diet, including a greatly reduced meat intake. – More exercise. – A lot less beer (I’m not kidding on that one).

That all brought me down from around 100kg to the 75kg I had when I still regularly did sports (basically mid-2001). I guess the most important part was to loose wait slow but steady (around 3kg/month) to avoid yoyo-ing.
