For those of you interested in the fitness side of it, i have had to go with a personal trainer as i tried the gym and it didnt really work as at the mo i am all over the place and can’t commit. I also find the gym increadibly boring and much prefer doing stuff outside, even in the pouring rain. So i hooked up with a personal trainer through one of my sponsors Alex from Healthy Progress. Cameron is into triathlons and has trained all over the world. So here’s what he’s got me doing at the moment:
Day 1
Cardio – 2hrs, Strength -1hr, Core 15mins, 20 to 30 mins stretch
Day 2
Cardio – 3hrs, Strength 0, Core 20mins, Stretch 20 mins
Day 3
Cardio 2 hours, Strength 1 hour, Core 15mins, Stretch 10 to 15mins
Day 4
Cardio – 4hrs, Strength 30mins, Core -0, Stretch – 20mins
Day 5
Cardio – 1hr, Strength 1 to 1 1/2 hours, Core 30 mins, stretch 10 to 15mins
Day 6
Cardio 4 to 5 hours, strength- 0, Core 15 to 20mins, stretch 20mins
Day 7
Cardio 0, Strength 30mins, Core 20 to 30 mins, stretch – 10 to 15mins
Im trying to keep to this as much as i can and can choose what cardio i wanna do. He’s also written a strength and core programme for me and made me buy some weights, stoopid glide plates, which i hate, and a balance ball. I take these round with me and make sure i get up early and get it over with. If you want a copy of the strength and core programme just send me an email tamzjones@yahoo.co.uk. Anyways i am feeling abit fitter but it is a chore fitting it all in and im sure when im out in the wilds of South America knackered i’ll be glad of it.
