The Starting Point

This blog is a little bit late as I have already started to exercise so here is a list of what I currently do (I will later get some links to show what these moves are).

Firstly my equipment consists of:

  • 2x 9kg York Dumbbells, which have a strange pattern where you grip you so every time you move them they will rip a layer of skin off your hands amazing idea!
  • Work out gloves because I value my hands.
  • A work out mat.
  • A fold-able workout bench.

I start my exercise at 6AM and a bit because I tend to look at my alarm in disbelief for 10 minutes before accepting that it is 6AM.

  • 3 sets of 50 Elevated Push Ups.
  • 50 Shrugs (With Dumbbells)
  • 3 sets of 50 Bicycles
  • 3 sets of Calf Raise and Holds (50 seconds each, both legs)
  • 4 sets of 50 Dumbbell curls (2 sets each arm)
  • 4 sets of 50 Seated renegade rows (2 sets each arm)
  • 2 sets of 25 Dumbbell kick backs (1 set each arm)
Now I have just started to do Dumbbell kick backs, the first time I did it I couldn't even do 10 you tend to get an alarming shooting liquid feel up you arm after 5, but keep at it and it gets easier with time.

Another new move I have added is the plank, not to be confused with the planking meme. The move looked simple enough but holding that for more then a 15 seconds and you will definitely feel your abs, hurts like hell but its good to know your abs are there...somewhere.

I must admit I have been neglecting my cardio as of late and need to get back into the routine of doing it. However as I am lacking a tredmill my running can be dependant on weather. I have set a route that is 5.6 miles to the destination and back, I choose to do it like this instead of a few laps of a shorter distance so that when I react the goal I have no choice but to run back, this really pushes me.

Sorry for the long post.
