Trying, trying…

After all the running this year my body was broken (maybe still is). Too much running? Or maybe not proper training program? Needed more rest that’s for sure. Anyway, since late Summer my fitness was slowly decreased till complete meltdown. I had to do something. I could feel that my body is needing nutritions but I wasn’t fuelling it with proper food. I was using shortcuts. Sweets to give me energy and junk food to fill my hunger. So, instead of helping I was making the case worse. My weight went up, body fat as well and strength down. I have decided that 8 weeks fitness program could be a good way to start recovery…

Thanks to Facebook I have found gym close by which had (still have) such a programs, 8 weeks of classes and you should get fitter. Sounds ok, but it is always like that. Most important are results and for these I had to wait. Problem with such a programs is that you need to follow the instructions. No problem doing that when comes to exercising but struggle with food. Ok, will reveal now the name of the gym. ABC Gym – Athletic Body Coaching. Andy, Noel and Rory, three lads who know what to do to put you back in the shape.

When I started I was overweight and sluggish. My body fat huge 15% and fitness level poor. Cause I wanted still continue my running I have opted for 3 times a week option. On Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays were fat burning sessions – fitness, Tuesdays and Thursdays – strength session. Additionally one extra fitness and strength on Saturday. Usually I was participated in classes on Mondays, Wednesdays and depending on weekend (if I had marathon run or not) Thursday or Friday. We always started with 20 minutes stretching and warm up exercises. Sometimes warm up was already exhausting and that wasn’t yet the main set of the class. When we were coming little bit earlier we should do stretching on our own. We had set of exercises which we suppose to do before class. Lads were waiting for us to finish ‘our’ warm up set and then proper stretching was starting. Fitness sessions and strength ones were always challenging and were pushing at least me almost each and every time to the edge. I know plenty of you, who attended any fitness classes would say that their gym is best and trainers doing their job really well. But trust me, they are good. My fitness level went up, body fat down by 3%, gain weight but that just means that I have more muscle now…

My 8 weeks program finished but I’m sure that I will come back on some stage and sign for next ‘back in shape’ session. This time will try to stick to diet. Thanks lads for your help… And you readers, if you looking for  help in fitness look up them – ABC Gym.
