Corona exercise thread - set yourself a target

[Norbs]

Just forced a 5k out of myself on the treadmill in 33:15, going to set a target of 30:00 by the end of April

Also did 1k on the rower in 4:58, aiming to get that down to 4:00, also by the end of April.

Need to shift an embarrassing amount of fat. I'm 92kg today, would love to be 80kg. I'm going to add some weights and burpees etc once I start to get fitter


What's your target?

After panicking over a slightly tight feeling throat on Wednesday I have self-isolated most likely without need so I am now working from home and not doing my usual 5-8 thousand steps a day so I'm going to join in.

Target is to trim down generally. When I went away for work in October 2018 I was the heaviest I have ever been at 13.5 stone and set myself 'Operation Top Button' target. I wanted to be able to fasten the top button of my shirt in time for the 2019 Christmas party. Got to 12 flat but just not quite enough.

Going to aim to be able to do 100 sit-ups and 100 press ups before work, at lunch, and after work by the end of April. Once I am out of self-isolation I may head out a few evenings for a walk along the nature trail or beaches of the Wirral.

I'm aiming to lose another 4kg. Assuming I'm still 108kg, that will take me to within 14kg of my ultimate aim.

Just to point out that you're about a foot taller than most on here though

Well yes but I could still lose this belly! My perfect weight would be around 88kg. I'm not a broad shouldered athletic type.

Best thing you can do is watch your diet, cut carbs out if you can (Bread, muesli, porridge, white potatoes) and milk, cheese, yoghurt. **** all them off and combined with fitness you'll soon lose weight. And beer too.

If you feel hungry drunk some low calorie or sugar free pop, the bubbles and gas help Curb hunger.

No milk, cheese, or beer? **** it I'll buy a bigger collar shirt

[Norbs]

I've had a few drinks tonight and that packet of prawn crackers called me to him. As long as it's less calories in than out then it's all good!

It's hard mate but doable. I did it for 3 months and lost 3 stone and have pretty much kept my fitness and health regime the same since. I drank Rasberry Sodas on nights out, no headache and felt much better next day and it's a nice drink. Same at home, or sugar free Mango and Apple pop from Asda, tastes exactly the same as having a gin minus the alcohol. If you have a craving for cheese, eat a rice cake. Salt and Vinegar or Paprika are nice and Home Bargains do some good ones. Turkey rashers and fried eggs for breakfast and a carrot to snack on mid morning, then chicken sausage with salad for lunch. Piece of piss lads. You'll feel much better for it and it's nice food.

3 stone in 3 months!! Did you have a limb amputated

I started doing the couch to 5k a few weeks ago, will continue doing that by going for a run every couple of days while we are still allowed outside. I run around the park and barely see another person so it's maintaining social distancing

I'm not sure what gin you were drinking, but...
