been lurking here for a while..
thought I'd share my progress here from the last 6 months..
started off really unfit and I was getting fatter and fatter over the years
I didn't play any sport and didn't do any exercise at all.. everyday I'd just go to work, come home, play video game, watch tv, eat and sleep...etc
I weight 160lbs last year and dropped down to 140lbs in about 3 months..I cut out most of the unhealthy food in my diet and started exercising 4-6 days a week
My cardio and endurance seems to have improved quite a bit, but my strength remained pretty stagnant...e.g.
- 2.4km run time went from to 15:30 minutes to 10 minutes
- push up went from 20ish to 65+
- pull up from less than 2 to 11
- Seated machine press went from 130lb to 140lb
(I workout at my condo gym which has no barbell or heavy dumbbell)
My goal initially was just to slim down and get fit...but now that I think I am fit enough, I really want to get bigger and stronger
Went on vacation in Jan., didn't do any workout and also got sick...weight dropped to 136 and it seems I lost quite a bit of muscle mass from that.
