tabata

May 30, 2009

Today was hectic but kept to the program. 80% at least. Started the day with the tabata* workout on my punching bag. i do this upon waking up with 1/2 a scoop of whey before starting.

i have designed a program for myself which i hope to stick to forever. It’s a little intense as i have some workout to do everyday but i have tried to break it so i don’t burn out.

Monday : Weights with cardio in between

Tuesday : Tabata routine on my punching bag.

Wednesday : Weights with cardio inbetween

Thursday : Tabata routine on my punching bag.

Friday : Weights with cardio inbetween

Saturday : Tabata routine on my punching bag.

Sunday : Light jog in the park.

My cardio is H.I.I.T. ( High Intensity Interval Training ) I’ll elaborate more on this next week. I am going to follow this routine for this week and see how my body can handle it. But of course i am not going to jump into it head on, I’ll be gradually increasing my level . even my weights have to drop back to bare basics as i am not gonna risk injury by starting with my last recorded rep weight.

*What is Tabata ?

Tabata is a very basic routine that you can do with any exercise (cardio or weights). I’ll use sparring with a bag as example.

Hit the bag as hard and fast as you can for 20 seconds.

Rest for 10 seconds ( jump around or light movements but try not to keep still )

Repeat this 8 times for a total of 4 minutes. You are done! But warm and cool down for 5 mins. So your total workout time is just 15 minutes. Sounds short but its taxing. Sprinting works well for this too.  For more on Tabata.

Alright to my meal log.

1/2 scoop whey before Tabata

Meal 1 – Break fast – 5 egg white + 1 egg yolk + 3 tablespoons Rolled oats.

Meal 2 – 1 scoop whey

Meal 3 – Brown Rice and Chicken Breast ( chopped and stir fried lightly with indian spices )

Meal 4 – 1 scoop whey

Meal 5 – Some chicken from meal 3.

Meal 6 – 2 table spoons of cottage cheese

Forgot my veggies today! argh! Ok i am out but i’ll leave with a video that can motivate a dead guy to start working out.

Ok this is my personal blog that gonna be about my workouts and diet. by diet i don’t mean some lame low intake shit that i am gonna do for 3 weeks then go back to eating crap. my life is reversed! after serving NS and losing nearly 60 kgs i was on track  eating 6 meals a day and worked out good. but after school started i had not time to keep up with the meals and stuff though i did hit them weights regularly. i piled back 30 kgs in 3 years.

so now since i am done with school am going to go back to my usual life of 6 meals a day.

i’ll post my daily meals and workouts here. or as often as i can. but am gonna try for daily.

ill also be posting recipes of the stuff i cook and some nice RELEVANT videos i come across.

Today is Friday and am gonna start with my 6 meal plan.
