train harder

I’m still doing this. I’m fitter even than I was a year ago.

If you’ve got the fitness and the motivation, then the hardest thing about doing this is keeping the supply of clean sports gear going. But I’m on top of that now.

I’m ready, but not sure about my schedule. By next week I should know

Well, have been – I’m just in the middle of relocation, and am moving into a new house about 1000 miles from where the old one was, so no training for a week or so.

Over the summer I had a Kesäkorrti – a summer card for the local swimming pool. I gave up on the gym for about two months and have been swimming every day. The muscles in my forearms and legs are noticably smaller, but the muscles on my shoulders (espeically the ones on my back, slightly down from the others) are like iron, and I can swim really, really well now. :D

I’m currently training four times a week minimum, and I’m fitter than I’ve ever been.

I don’t think that training any harder is wise: you gotta rest some, but I have to get more out of each training session, so for that I am studying.

During the term-holidays, I went to the Gym each second day and if I didn`t go, I trained at home…!!!

It was really worth doing, even I still not look like the Spartans in 300…
But I will look like them!!! ^^
Just a matter of training and time…

For several reasons, one I can’t have stuff in my 43things that will go on indefinitely, two I have set up a lifestyle where I do workout and train and push myself daily/weekly/monthly with goals. Even in wintertime when supposedly I would be stagnant.

I have to focus a whole lot on strength training, esspecially upper body strength. So I am:

1 hour of lifting three times a week with one day rest periods. I generally do three sets, 1 is 20 reps at the heavyiest weight I can handle, then step up the stack and do 10 reps of that weight. Then I repeat that weight for 10 reps, then step down 10 reps at a time, this works my muscles to failure, which is supposed to build muscle fast.

3 miles 3 times a week at 8 minute miles.

2 days of interval stair training with the weight vest (50lbs) this is the most difficult for me, but most important for my CPAT training.

Is it funny or offensive that my male boss says that the roadie cases are too heavy for him to lift and has me lift them for him? Of course with no problem!

So I registered for the FDNY firefighter exam. This is a great opportunity (though the prospect of living in NYC for the rest of my life doesn’t really appeal to me) The training is going to be harder than anything I have ever done.

I didn’t even do it while training – did it in my backyard.
