Fitness: And so it begins…
Follow me at www.gearsofmymind.com
2012 will be a big year for me. Last year, I dedicated myself to an extreme workout regiment, diet, and even signed up for personal trainer sessions. I was working out twice a day, five days a week from June thru September (missing a few days on occasion for rest or other duties). I dropped about 8 pounds to get around 150 (I’m not that tall so keep that in mind haha) and brought my body fat percentage down from 15% to around 8.5% at its lowest.
My overriding goal for 2012… build a physique that I’m happy with. For me, that will take shape in a few different ways.
- Work on developing my shoulder muscles. These are hands down the part of my body I’m the least proud of.
- Work on having a legit six-pack that doesn’t involve me having to suck it all in.
- Focus on defining all of muscles.
- Maintain a BMI less than 10%.
- Keep myself under 160 pounds (I am not trying to bulk up much at all and this will keep me from turning into one of those crazy meatheads).
- Run at least two 5ks this year and try for a 10k (I’m not a fan of just running for the sake of running so this will be a big thing for me).
So those are my goals. May seem pretty basic. But hey, I’m not trying to impress you. I’m working for myself and no one else. This blog will take shape with me posting all of my workouts each day I workout and if I’m good enough at writing things down, I’ll post my diet for that day as well. This won’t be anything crazy, but I’m hoping to build a very strong workout routine that helps me meet my goals.
