I've been keeping up a generally good level of fitness - mostly running and body combat - but felt I wasn't getting the kind of results I really wanted. I didn't enjoy the weight training so much and so ended up just doing cardio as that's what I enjoyed. So, while on the train this week I realised I have 5 months until I go to India and I want to be in tip-top shape for that. With weddings winding down a little from October onwards, it's also a chance to focus on me for a little. Over the last few years I've been so concentrated on establishing and growing my business that my health probably has suffered a little. Time to correct that!
I've bought countless books and magazines that promise to give you the insight into how to achieve that body you want, but I find it too difficult to stick to. I don't know what weights to lift, or if I'm doing it right, and then I stop. I think I'm the kind of person who needs structure, and focused goals to make things happen, and I just don't know enough top make those goals.
I'll be moving to Blackheath in two weeks, so I found a PT in that area. I looked at some "miracle" programs based in the city, but decided for my first foray into Personal Training I'm going to stick with somebody local. There are a few around the area, but I went with the guy who looked the friendliest - I know, stupid reason, but I didn't have much else to go on!
I'm going to use body fat percentage as my measurement tool - so hopefully that'll get taken today. I think I'm probably around 20% body fat, so my goal would be to get to 15% and then 12% - but we'll see what he recommends. Ny first six sessions are fairly spread out (due to August being super busy work wise) and from September on I move to a more structured work-out.
SO, I'll be back to let you know how the first session went.
