My new workout program -Mark

Hi again, it's me, Mark,

Here's my workout program for the foreseeable future.  I won't go into the individual exercises now until I can talk about doing them with perfect form...this workout comes from Arnold Schwarzeneggers "Encyclopedia for modern bodybuilding" I borrowed this from my local library then ordered a copy 2 days later.

This book covers everything and its heavy enough to be used as free weights itself!




These workouts are to be done twice a week, therefore 6 days a week with 1 day of proper rest.

Workout 1 (aka Monday+Thursday)
                   
                    Chest, back, abs and 30 mins cardio

Workout 2 (aka Tuesday+Friday)

                    Shoulders, arms, abs and 30 mins cardio

Workout 3 (aka Wednesday+Saturday)

                    Thighs, calves, lower back, abs and 30 mins cardio

This is going to be the hardest workout program I have ever attempted but I will succeed, nothing will stop me achieving what I want.  There will be obstacles but it's how you overcome them will define my success...I can't wait for it to start and it starts from today!

Thanks for reading

My gym...Zone Fitness Northallerton

Now then,

Mark here with a quickie about the gym Sarah and I go to.
It`s Zone Fitness in Northallerton.  We have both been to other gyms in the past but it hasn't felt quite right, I can't put my finger on it but something was missing.

That changed when Ryan and Mike opened Zone Fitness in Northallerton.
It is a gym that just feels right for the two of us.  They are great instructors who listen, advise, encourage, monitor and motivate.  They have helped me personally with diet, meal ideas, recommended supplements and the timing of meals, which, I struggle with due to work.
They also practice what they preach...ie exercise and healthy eating leads to healthier and better you.

Just a thanks from the both of us.
Ps Sarah's apprehensive about her challenge Ryan...dare I ask what's mine?

All the best Mark

My workout

Hi all,

I thought i'd share my current workout regime.  I have been doing this for the last 4 weeks and i have 4 weeks to go,  although my work has got in the way so i havent been able to do this religiously (thats how it goes during stocktaking when you work in a shop!)

I try wherever possible to start this on a Monday.The first 2 workouts start with 10 mins of steady state cardio...ie Bike, treadmill or the cross trainer.

Monday - legs & calves
Tuesday - Back
Wednesday - Cardio or rest day its personal choice.

Thursday - chest & shoulders
Friday - rest day
                              Saturday - Back & triceps
                              Sunday - rest day

I won't go into the individual excercises as i don't have the experience or knowledge to explain what muscles are targeted with each rep and how to perform it with proper form. 

That's it for now, I'll speak soon.

Regards Mark
