get fit

Down to 83 and fairly fit. Should put an actual figure on this.
Fit for me = Under 80, < 18% body fat, 7 minute mile, able to run 10k’s without stopping.

So i decided to do some exercise every day… Yesterday I took the dog for a walk. Not sure how i am going to squeeze in exercise today, my day is jam packed. Might be able to squeze in some wii fit when i stop off at my boyfriends house…

I want to do some exercise every day, even if it is just walking. Also cut down on fatty foods. And do abb exercises. The main thing is doing something every day, and holding myself accountable for that.

Hi everyone I am trying to get fit for the army. I was wondering if going to the gym everyday would be useful before I start running on the road, as I need to improve my breathing, has anyone got any tips? I went to the gym this morning at 7.00am

i began exercising on the 16th of september,
and just began the second month into getting fit!

i found an absolute gem of a book -
it’s in Korean, full with photos,
and lots of ideas to shape up your body (for women) -

the 1st month, i wanted to exercise 3-4 times a week,
but after the Chuseok holiday, things got really slow,
with me doing only 2 days a week. not good.

so. this month, i am stepping it up a bit,
and aiming to do 5 days a week.

i also want to eat better -
like making chicken breast sandwiches,
trying the muscle milk -
as the author (a fitness trainer) suggests.

so far, i’ve lost 1kg, and 5cm from my waist.

the best thing about working out is how i feel
during and after working out. it gets me out of
my head, and keeps me in a better mood.

:D i guess it’s really worth it!

In a few weeks time I can join the gym:) Actually looking foreward to it.

yes I used to be fit and I want to experience fitness again, be able to climb stairs without getting out of breath (I’m at this level) and progress from stairs to majestic mountains!

Anyway, here is my plan:

swim 3x a week (starting with 10 laps and increasing)
brisk walk 2x a week (or more! invite better half to be more fun!)
do the breathing exercises once a day

By the way I’m keeping track of this using the happiness project toolbox here

Go me! I can do this :)

iI’m trying to get back on track with my exersize schedule cause i kind of stopped going these last 2 weeks so i really need to start up again and im also going to try to get some more pictures for my entries

I’m thinking of doing organised sport once a week, but only one sport, and only once a week, because I dont want to be rushing around too much when I should be studying. I’m thinking of taekwondo or maybe joining the rambling club which organises walks every saturday; that could be both culturally interesting and good exercise. Aside from this I could do exercises for 5 mins at night before going to sleep, and go cycling from time to time.
The problem with eating healthy: I dont have enough time to go to the market/supermarket to regularly buy fruit and veg, need to find a way around this.
Also need to start going to sleep a bit earlier (say an hour)
Grrr all this clashes with social life and studying. But I guess health comes first..

Since young, I have never been inclined to do physical sport and though I wasn’t fat, I had always been very out of shape. I also LOVE eating. But I didn’t want to stop eating, thus I figured I should exercise it all out.

So when I made my new year’s resolution for 2009, I thought, ‘This is the year I am going to be fit.’ My aim is to have a nice toned body by summer.

-I ran a 10km run for the first time in my life in June. I made it in 1:16. Yay!
-I also joined weekly 2-hour wushu (Martial arts) class in the beginning of this year which I have been going on and off.
-I got a gym membership about 2 months ago. But haven’t been since the first couple of weeks which completely defeated the purpose of signing up. :(

At the moment, I’m in need of some motivation. And I’ve been pigging out like crazy. My goal is nowhere near completion so I need to stop being such a lazy bugger and go do a few push-ups.
