I personally find sports (save for wrestling and UFC) boring, whereas random exercise (like crossfit) I find interesting.
Doing sports or watching? I'd climb for 6 hours without experiencing any boredom. Even if I could last that long doing calisthenics, I would have got bored way before then... or maybe I wouldn't these days?

Both. I'd rather do KB circuits for time, or row, or run, or the bear. Or some other circuit stuff.fatpasty said:

Day 12 Done.
Cardio power resistance.
I seem to be lasting a little longer in the exercises during the first part of the video. The last part of this is tough with shoulder and tricep exercises. Finishing strong with moving pushups etc is difficult. Still pushing as hard as possible.
Arms are heavy today.
Later today I have Pure Cardio then Cardio Abs. 2 workouts one after each other. Should be tough.
Day off Sunday and then it is the fitness test. Test 2 should see if I have gained anything from the first 2 weeks. Weigh in as well Hopefully might of shifted a couple of pound as well.

Dropbox?
I hope so. I feel much better with myself and I do actually think it is working. Hopefully by the first of sept I will have a small body fat %. Fingers crossed.
will post new photos on monday to show the progress after 2 weeks.
Good man, nothing shows progress like measurements and pictures. I hope so. I feel much better with myself and I do actually think it is working. Hopefully by the first of sept I will have a small body fat %. Fingers crossed.

Weight loss is often water and muscle as much as it is fat when folk are posting on here.

Well I definitely don't feel like I'm losing muscles. My Abs seem stronger and firmer. Arms feeling bigger. Legs are getting much more definition so hopefully I wont lose too much muscle. My protein intake should be higher enough to substain this. Weight loss is often water and muscle as much as it is fat when folk are posting on here.

What happens is as the fat drops off, your muscles start to look a lot bigger as they become far more pronounced and you start to see tone (as a result of lower bodyfat).
Everytime I get really lean, I always get comments on how much folk think I'm growing which I'm not, at best I keep the muscle I have although in reality, probably shrinking a little.

The truth is, if you are doing lots of cardio on a restricted diet you're probably not gaining any muscle or at least very little.

Yes I understand what you mean and That is prob the case. I already have a good amount of muscle so to be fair I'm not fused about that and I not fused about building muscle. I'm doing this to lose the fat. Which hopefully will happen. It is a lot of cardio but you still are doing good amount of muscle work to stop them from wasting away.What happens is as the fat drops off, your muscles start to look a lot bigger as they become far more pronounced and you start to see tone (as a result of lower bodyfat).

Is it just me or has everyone else had a deja vu moment? What happens is as the fat drops off, your muscles start to look a lot bigger as they become far more pronounced and you start to see tone (as a result of lower bodyfat).

Day 15.
Fit Test 2.
1. Switch kicks 55 up from 40.
2. Power jacks 52 up from 47.
3. Power knees 81 up from 65.
4. Power jumps 31 up from 28.
5. Globe jumps 8 up from 5.
6. Suicide jumps 15 up from 14.
7. Push-Up jacks 28 up from 20.
8. Low plank oblique 38 up from 29.
An improvement all round. Some better than others. Some increases are better than I could of wished for.
The figures are a rough count, it is hard to do switch kicks and counting, especially when your trying to keep your form as good as possible.
Pleased with the push up jacks, and the globe jumps. Suicide jumps are a lot harder then they look. I pushed for the whole minute and only gained 1. Hopefully better next time.
So quarter of the programme is done. Pleased so far just hope I can keep it going to the end.
