During the last round of 12WBT I set a goal for my 50th that I still think will be hard to achieve. It'll certainly be impossible to achieve if I don't "extract my digit" and work towards it.
The goal: On my 50th I want to be able to do the following in 50 minutes...
- 50 sit-ups
- 50 push-ups
- 50 chin-ups
- 5 km run
Now for all you fit gym bunnies out there this might not sound too difficult but there are a couple of parts that I don't know if I'll be able to do.
- 50 chin ups - I'm too heavy and don't have the strength to do more than two or three chin-ups at present.
- 5 km run - I hate running, I'm not good at it, I'm too heavy and my heart tries to leave my chest after about 1 minute... Running for 20-25 minutes (if I can get 5 km done in that time) just sounds like it won't happen.
And that's what this blog is about - getting fit, losing weight and documenting what I did to get to my goal.
I want to be fitter and at 50 than I was at 20. I want to be healthy, strong, flexible and feeling awesome.
How am I going to do this? Based on my previous experience I've realised that, while it requires consistency and a plan, it isn't that hard to lose weight. It amazed me how quickly my fitness improved but can I achieve these goals, especially with the hours I spend at work?
I will be posting my plan, my starting stats, progress photos and my thoughts about the things I find in my research on exercise, nutrition and health.
