B's life

Today I went to the gym using a different routine and it was pretty hard, I had a few cramps but i think its alright.

I  have also decided to start again on the count as I have hit a plateau and I just wanted to start fresh out with a healthy life in mind 24/7.

Today after gym I felt that I have accomplished something today.

I’ve done:

• 5min warmup at 10km/h
• 3 sets of lats
• 3 sets of horizontal leg push
• 3 sets of biceps weights
• 3 sets of leg curls
• 3 sets of triceps weights
• 3 sets of medicine ball mixed with situps
• 3 min jog
• stretched for 4-5min

Looking at it seems that I’ve done too much. My body is steaming up still and I got a few back soars (which I like as it makes feel that I have done a lot).

Next time i will be concentrating on adding a few more sets on upper body, and then strengthening my lower body with bigger weights.

I will also add another core exercise in there.

Well we’ll see what happens.

I have been attending gym for 6 months now and it feels great and I have seen results in the first 4 months but when i hit month 5 it went down the drain. In May I have been eating too much due to exams and lack of workout.

For the last 3-5 weeks I have gain a little and hit a plateau where nothing is changing.

I have done some reading and it seems that because of the pause in my routine it has affected my workout programme which affected my weight and diet.
So I have decided to change my routine and to change my gym routine fully.

Before I use to go 2-3 times a week at the gym now I am planning to go for it 3-4 times a week where I will be having cardio days and weight days.

My normal workout use to be:

15min jogging/warmup/sprint at max speed of 10-11 km/h
5min stretch
6min rowing
15min jogging/running/interval training
3 rep crunches
5min stretch

My new programme is based on an article in Men’s Health magazine where the programme is to do workout 5 days a week with cardio on Tuesday, Thursday and weights on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

I will post my new programme soon and post the outcomes of it.
