So, this year I've lost 15kg (90kg to 75kg) which is nice, but I haven't been focusing on the exercises recently, so I've become weak as a kitten but still gone up to a chubby 80kg.
I'm starting this as a motivation exercise, and will update each post daily whilst adding a new one weekly.
Essentially I'm following this for my bodyweight exercises, and this for my cardio. Monday, Wednesday and Friday for both.Today's Achievements:
Knee raises - 6x6 - poor form and tiring
Half push ups - 6x6 - perfect form but tiring
Squats - 6x6 - perfect form and pretty decent
Crunches - 6x6 - good form, very tiring
Half plank - 6x20s - perfect form, utterly exhausting
Ultimate goal:
Proceed to leg raises. Proceed to standard push ups. Proceed to Bulgarian squats. Proceed to bicycle crunches. Proceed to 60s half plank.
Expected completion: Early November.
My very ultimate goal is, by August next year, to be able to run at least 20km and increase the difficulty of the bodyweight exercises somewhere near the bottom of the list. In addition, I'll be adding weightlifting after a few reintroduction weeks and I hope to be able to do at least my bodyweight in all the big four full body lifts.
Wish me luck!
Wednesday update late because of friend's birthday:
Knee raises - still not great form but a bit easier already
Bent push ups (to lead into handstands) - 6x6 - good form but pretty tiring
Everything else basically the same, except I started on Bulgarian squats, which were more challenging.![]()
