2006 GD Fitness Challenge
A lot of people who posted their New Years resolutions mentioned that they want to gain/lose weight over the next year, so I thought it would be fun to make a thread where we all commit to our fitness programmes together in a heartwarming show of internet unity and brotherhood.
So yeah anyway, post where you are currently are fitness-wise, and what your goals are over the next year. Then you can make regular updates here and tell everyone about the progress youre hopefully enjoying. Perhaps making a public committment will provide you with extra motivation to stick to whatever it is your plan, since when that pie is halfway to your mouth you'll know that allowing it to move a few more inches will cause strangers on the internet to think youre a failure, and god knows theres not much in life thats worse than that.
This thread can also be used for fitness related questions, and letting dutch faggots talk about their abs.
Me:
I'm currently 148 pounds ( ), and I want to be around 165 by this time next year so that I can compete in MMA without getting murdered. However, I've picked up a bit of fat over the Christmas period, so my first goal will be to lose that. I want to get my bodyfat down to around 10% by the end of January, which I'm guessing will make me 140 pounds or so, and then I'll spend the rest of the year gaining weight slowly, around 1/2 a pound every week. Since my Christmas hedonism still seems to be going strong and its unlikey to stop before New Years Eve, I'm not going to resume serious training until January 2nd, so I'll make updates from then

By not eating much (around ~1900 calories a day) and doing lots of exercise (2 gym sessions a week, and around 10-12 hours of assorted martial arts).

Re: 2006 GD Fitness Challenge
I want to cut my body fat down so I can wear tight leather etc.
My body-obsessed faggot questions:
I've been going to the gym for ages. I've got fitter and roughly doubled the strength of my legs, but my arms are still weak and girly. I've tried lots of different exercises so I'm guessing I just have a relatively puny upper body, is that biologically likely?
When I jog more than 5 miles or so I get sore legs however much warming up and warming down I do. I've tried walking the last mile and cold showers. Should I just run faster for less time or what?

Re: 2006 GD Fitness Challenge
I am currently 176 (80 kilos) lbs and I am aiming to become 198 (90 kilos) lbs by plain muscle growth, I realise that might be a bit too positive so I'll be happy with 187 lbs (85 kilos)
Last year I've been exercising full body work outs in the gym mostly for about 2 a 3 times a week which gave me an increase of 27 lbs. One of my targets this year is to be able to benchpress 8/10 reps of 220 lbs (100 kilo). Before the summer closes in I want my belly to be a bit more flat or looking less flubby by massive shoulder and chest increase.
I am thinking of picking up muy thai/kickboxing for one time a week just for the extra cardio you get out of it and to be become quicker in fight situations because gymn exercises seems to make your muscles slower. I also though about wing chun as it just looks awesome and I like their ideas behind the art. Might be a problem though as financially 2006 will be quite hard so that's the main reason I probably won't.
Nodrog, I read somewhere you where into muy thai but never knew you did about 10/12 hours a week of martial arts. What kind are you practising and do you already have ring experience? Just curious.
edit:
for queball: Speaking about your puny upperbody; for example my chest was my weakest point when I started exercising. Two times a week of maximum effort benchpressing and other chest muscle stimulating exercises made it the strongest part of my body within 10 months. For your arms; just buy some dumbels to train your biceps and triceps if you don't want to go to a gymn, you can get pretty far with a decent set of dumbels.

Most effective way of dropping your body fat without losing muscle mass is to have a 500 calories shortage a day while sporting, so you need to calculate how much calories you burn while doing your sports.
I really can't be arsed to weight and check my food every day for that aspect

Nah, I havent had any fights yet, I've not been going long enough. I've only been been doing Muay Thai seriously for about 3 months, and I started doing MMA (mainly BJJ and freestyle wrestling) about a month ago. I want to start competing towards the end of next year, so we'll see what happens.

Re: 2006 GD Fitness Challenge
Presently, I'm at around 170-175 lbs, 5'9 and at around 20% body fat since last November, '05. By March, '06, I will be at 165-170 lbs at around 15% body fat. My training program will be:
Mon: 5 sets of 15 push-ups, 5 sets of 20 sit-ups and 2 sets of 2 pull-ups.
Tues: 2-mile run, 1-hr game of basketball
Wed: 5 sets of 10 push-ups, 5 sets of 15 sit-ups, and 2 sets of 2 pull-ups
Thurs: 2-mile run, 1-hr game of basketball
My diet will be baked meats and vegetables everyday, and enough carbs to keep me going. Basically, I've been on this work-out / diet program for a long time now and it kept me at 165 lbs. I should be back to my pre-holidays build by Feb, but I'm giving myself an extra month (until March) to reach this goal.

Re: 2006 GD Fitness Challenge
No offense dude but what do you expect to archieve with doing sets of 15 and 20 sit-ups?
Or will you use weights while doing them?

Re: 2006 GD Fitness Challenge
With the 2-mile runs twice a week, push-ups and sit-ups will work very good for me.

Re: 2006 GD Fitness Challenge
well I weigh about the same as Nodrog, and I want to put on about 28 pounds. My running stamina is not too good, and I intend to be able to do a half marathon by about juneish, at the latest August. I can manage about 3 miles at the moment, up from 1.5 in september, though these past few weeks I have been running more, and in much worse conditions.
No martial arts at the moment because of some stupid shit over contracts here and I can't find anywhere that has a contract whereby I just stop straight away, and since I might have to move to another city in the next year, I really don't want to be stuck paying off a load of stuff here for three months.

Re: 2006 GD Fitness Challenge
I'm at a measly 140-ish lbs at the minute, though whilst six months ago that was with very little fat I've gotten lazy and all my good gym works of the past have gone down the shitter. Looking to 'redistribute' what weight I have before putting on maybe another 10-12 lbs taking me to about 11 stone (I'm 5'8) by June's end. Guess I'll go back to my old regime of going the gym of a morning before uni three times a week with maybe a run (contradictory to my weight-gain goal I know but I'm already pretty unfit stamina-wise) thrown in there once or twice a week of an evening.
Last time I tried this it went pretty well, was just over 9 stone, put on near stone over the course of 3 months but then exams hit and finding the time was more difficult. So this year, none of that bullshit, I shall persevere.

Re: 2006 GD Fitness Challenge
I'm between 180-185 lbs at the moment, and I'm 5'10". I wouldn't say I was fat, but I'm definitely not skinny either. I've been going to the gym for about 6 months now so a bit of the weight is muscles. I'm happy with my muscles right now, but recently I started slacking a bit and put on some fat. My goal is to lose the extra fat while maintaining the muscles. I'll be going to the gym only 2 or 3 times a week, so it will probably take a while to achieve. For cardio I'll be going for a 20 minute run (about 3km) and either rowing / cycling afterwards. My main problem will probably be my diet though - I don't really want to change it too much, although one of my new year's resolutions it to eat more fruit, so that will help.

Re: 2006 GD Fitness Challenge
I'm 5'10" and I'm 154 pounds apparently.
I was at about 168 pounds before but I think I was a little podgy but I've lost that weight now. I think I was down to 147 at one point but I put some muscle weight on but I'm losing it again now so I need to go to the gym.
Ideally I'd like to be a bit more toned and defined and stronger. Mixing the two doesn't seem like a good idea since for toned and defined its light weights and high reps but for strength its high weights and low reps. If you do in between those two you build muscle mass so you can really compromise either since I don't want to be an ugly monster 'roid freak.
I'd also like to improve my cardio fitness, although thats easily done in warm up and warm down cross trainer sessions for the weights. Before I started off at 15 minutes on the crosstrainer until I could do that, then I'd try 20, then 25, then 30 if I was able to cope and wasn't too dead afterwards.
My core needs strengthening too so I'll do some exervises on the swiss ball to strengthen my abdominals and then do a back thingy to strengthen those too so I have a strong midriff so that I can do the weights much more easily.
To queball, the pain is probably from the high impact that running has on your legs. Its not good for you and clearly your body is trying to tell you this. You should try cycling instead to take the impact off, obviously your legs will still be sore but in theory you shouldn't suffer so much. Also there is less chance of you suffering joint problems and what not if you don't run.

Obviously you should warm up and down after every run. How often do you do your 5 mile runs? If its only once a week you are going to hurt everytime because you arent really doing it often enough to improve. If you do maybe two 3 mile runs and one 5 mile run a week then you'll improve your lactic acid tolerance and shouldnt have any problems after a few weeks. Whether or not your knees can take that depends on how big you are.

You should be able to get from that kind of fitness to being able to run 10 miles once a week (plus shorter runs inbetween) within 2 or 3 months if you go to the gym 3 or 4 times a week. If you want some advice give me a shout, i've done one. I'm no expert but i know what it takes to finish in under 2 hours.
As for me, i have no particular targets at the moment. I'm not as fit as i used to be because the gym at my new uni is shit so i dont bother going and seeing as i have nothing to train for i cant be arsed running in the cold. I'ld like to bulk up a bit and i did a fair bit of weight training over the summer but as with the running thats petered out too .

I jog for longer about once a fortnight when I forget how painful it was last time. I ran a lot over the summer because I got some new shoes - I was doing 3 miles at least twice a week but whenever I went to 5 miles I'd be unable to walk normally for a few days.

Re: 2006 GD Fitness Challenge
I'd like to put on another 20 pounds this year and gain more upper body strength. It's never been something that I cared a huge amount about though.
I will try to play squash a couple of times a week and to go swimming more regularly to improve my general fitness but I doubt I will do anything else as I haven't enjoyed most other things I have tried.

Re: 2006 GD Fitness Challenge
Current Weight : 13st 8lbs
Weight Aimed for : 12st 6lbs
Timescale Aimed For (Best Scenario) - April
Timescale Expected : July/August
Not too concerned about upper body strength, and play more than enough outdoor sports to have the Lower Body Strength needed for what im about to undertake.
Asthmatics and Stamina increasing exercise however arent the most compatible, although thats the aim.

Re: 2006 GD Fitness Challenge
I want to lead climb 7a/ boulder 6b by the end of my third year at uni (ie. June/July).
I don't have any targets other than that.
EDIT: Out of interest, I weighed myself: I'm about 5"8" (I think) and about 62kg/137lb. I've no idea how you calculate body fat.

Re: 2006 GD Fitness Challenge
As I said in the New Year resolution thread, I'm looking to be able to run a 5km race and then a 10km at some point this year. The problem is that I've been saying this for at least 3-4 years now. It's a pretty conservative target, but I'm incredibly lazy and it's not easy to get into the habit of running.
For a start, I don't know when in the day is a good time to run. I've tried running in the evenings after dark, but it's mildly confusing not being able to see where you're going and also the local park to me can be mildly unsettling. On one ocassion tried to punch me in the face while they rode by on a bike, and I've had a couple of other random threats as I walked past.
I'd quite like to join a gym as two of my housemates are members and I'm interested in being able to lift more comfortably. However, I can't really have any sort of Direct Debit coming out of my account as my finances are too unpredictable which leads to any monthly charge costing at least 2-3 times more than it was originally supposed to (due to bank charges).
Also, as I've queried in another thread, I'm not really sure what all this "getting strong" (or big) business is all about. Extra stamina I can see the reasoning for, and any sort of exercise is going to bring self-discipline. But bleh at least Nod has some sort of reason in that he wants to be some form of ninja.

Re: 2006 GD Fitness Challenge
I want to look good, attractive and sexy. For me, primary that's all it takes actually. Well, after a while the habbit of serious weight training there is some kind of physical and psychological addiction. Can't really put my finger on it but you're body feels healthy and fit after each session which I can't really describe. When I bench press or train my biceps some kind of hormon seems to fly through my body which I love, it feels a bit like adrenaline.
I never expected I would like it like I do now. I've done fitness before like 10 years ago and after 6 months I was completely bored by it.

Shouldn't you reach a physical limit of how much you can drink before that happens

You'd think that wouldn't you? You just sort of have to rush it in between the consumption of the drink that should shut down your system and the time it takes for that alcohol to actually hit your system.

I doubt I could run 10km without any sort of training.
But anyway, if my New Years Eve is half as fun as I'm hoping I will definitely be incapable of running anything at all in January.

Re: 2006 GD Fitness Challenge

Re: 2006 GD Fitness Challenge
not that this will match up with anything that you boys want to do but
i am 5"8", weigh 9 stone and have 25% body fat (i am thin but a bit squidgy)
my aim is to lower that to 15% by the end of the year which means converting almost a stone of flab into muscle.
this is going to be achieved by running (eurch), yoga, climbing and yomping around on big hills (am hiking up kilimanjaro in march)
would anyone here be interested in doing the great north run http://gnr.realbuzz.com/ in october?

Re: 2006 GD Fitness Challenge
The ideal heartbeat rate to burn fat is a constant of of 60 to 70% of your maximum heartbeatrate. It doesnt really matter in what way you achieve this. Generally said, if you hold onto this for over 20 minutes you start to lose fat. Biking and running type cardio exercises are easiest to get into a certain constant range of heartbeat rate.
