ok - you got a gym nearby?? if yes, start a body pump class. but be warned .... the first time i did a class i was so sore i coulnt even walk down stairs ... or lower myself onto the loo ... it hurt so bad but it gets easier, and it really does strip it off you. your combining cardio and resitance in one hit.
or - take an hour - walk as far as you can in 1.2 hour, up some hills if you can. aim to stop in a park or somewhere and do lunges, squats, (if the grounds not wet) crunches, including your obliques, and some push ups if you can handle them (i hate them) - try for 3 sets of 12 reps all this should take about 15mins. then walk home, faster than you walked out, so you get home in the hour.
Yes I have a gym nearby but I'm not too keen on jumping into the whole gym scene straight away. I'll die doing a class.
Okay....walking etc like you said sounds alright -- I'll stick to the crunches etc at home instead of the park.....but I've been getting home pretty late lately and it's been dark some nights so maybe I need to invest in some machines -- A tredex costs about $1000 -- so fuck that......how about a stationary bike?
Or skipping? :? What other stuff can I do at home at night?
skippings one of the best cardio workouts you can get. im just too unco to do it even for a full minute
or any of those other excersises - you can get up 1/2 hour earlier and do them in front of the morning news. if you dont have weights, fill up a couple of cordial bottles full of water. or use yourself.
Do you think I should measure myself before I start? So I can see how much I've lost....
EIGHTY DAYS.....I can do this! I will look good in pants by tour time....oh yes I will!
absolutely go by measurement ... if you weigh, pick one day of the week, and weigh in the morning after you pee thats all - one day. and remember - your a girl. your weight is going to change depending on the time of the month, all sorts of factors.
eighty days. about 7 -8 kgs - thats very doable
we should really get donjon to set us out a weekly program, and report every monday or something. keep everyone on track and motivated.

I threw away my scales two months ago -- they fluctuated by kilos at a time and started to freak me out....so now I'm going by clothing sizes and feel. I might go to a chemist and weigh myself tomorrow so I at least know for sure what I was at the beginning of my EIGHTY DAY PLAN. I'll measure as soon as I go home tonight.
My flatmate was 'obsessed' with losing 5-6 kgs. She started training 3 days a week and after about 5-6 weeks I noticed a BIG difference. She had converted fat to muscle but still weighed the same so wasnt happy :roll:
If you are serious about doing it Ill email a few things to do....but dont waste me time :twisted:
Zenith has started you with the right ideas. Just start getting out there. Walk/run, lots of lunges and squats to start with. Just make sure you do things properly to start with aka...lunges...dont travel over the front knee. Knne should not go forward from the shin (should be 90%) and drop with the back leg etc
I can see me getting the video camera out here cant I :roll: :?
Okay, I've started off well. Got really stoned and drunk last night, went to bed at 2am and slept through my 6am alarm....... So I'm starting this afternoon!
I am all measured up though. I did that before I started drinking.
Email me please DonJon.....I won't waste your time.....promise!
When you start shitting me on tour this will be my response
Gold
DonJon, as if I would give you the shits? :?
Okay, I just did 10 lunges with each leg in my office just then.....and I'm sore! I have such a long way to go.... :? How many of those should I work up to per day do you think?
It's hard to tell whether I am doing it right and keeping my front knee at right angle etc......I need to do it in front of a mirror.
45 min walk to gym
warm up 5 min bike (2.4km), 5 min treadmill

You're trying to kill me, aren't you? :? I just did ten squats in my office.....and all I can feel is how sore the top of my thighs are from those lunges.
Yes squats and lunges are perfect for upper legs and glutes
Perfect.....that's just want I need to tone up for wearing pants! But how do I know how many I'm supposed to do? Or do you just do as many as you can?
go to failure to do one properly stop, rest for a short period of time, then go again
donjon we talking sets of 50 lunges per leg or in total?

Tough start...chins into swings is all shoulder so a bitta burn time there. Get breath back during lunges and KTE. Wall balls into burpees is where it gets ugly.

Going for time today. Will report back
don jon you crazy bastard! how've you been dude?
the jeagler's been maintaining his 4 or 5 day a week gym schedule but the workout thread has almost completely died on gtp. how come you never post there anymore dude?
As you can see the Ziggmeister has decided to get fit for the upcoming tour. :shock:
Mate I was just spending way too much time at work posting and something had to give...it was an ethical work call . So I had to limit where I posted.
Be back in an hour after I smash this workout...gonna have to check the board at gym...cant remember time I last did this...about 25-30mins from memory
As you can see the Ziggmeister has decided to get fit for the upcoming tour. :shock:
And why is that so shocking? Hmmmm....? Just you wait until you meet me on tour -- you'll see me walking towards you and think "gee she looks good in pants"...and then you'll realise it's me, your young trainee.
Fuck I hope I stick with it now after making that comment
i'd like to see that, but as don jon said its best if ya do it for a lifestyle change! i.e. look good always wearning pants

Exactly.......DonJon may have ethical issues teaching someone who is doing it for the wrong reasons :?
Feeling good, sharp and healthy is the reason for doing such things....if you happen to look good then that is a bonus.
Half the males that go to gyms are only there to bulk up - put on muscle mass....its such a bad attitude. Gimme 10mins with any of those steroid freaks and they wouldnt know what hit them.

Look punk....just teach me okay.... :x
How can looking good be for the wrong reason? Looking good = feeling good. Look like crap = feel like crap. Okay....I want to feel good, sharp and healthy....and comfortable in pants on tour with no chubby thighs....happy? And improve my posture.
We all have different motivators. And once I starting feeling awesome I won't want to stop.
