Stuck to my work out routine all week. Even getting out and playing some football tomorrow afternoon. I'm determined to get back in shape.
Like so many things in life, there isn't a black and white answer. On the one hand, over-training is a real issue for many people who exercise. There absolutely is a point at which it becomes detrimental to your body to do more exercise because your body needs necessary recovery time to build itself back up again. This is especially important in resistance and weight training because muscle's need time to repair themselves, so working different muscle groups on different days with a good amount of rest is essential. BUT, when it comes to cardio, the fact of the matter is that most people don't approach that threshold as they don't actually push to their maximum in every workout and and they could benefit by pushing harder.After posting a reply about having a goal in cardio, I noticed something interesting. The majority of the other cardio goals are also by people who are already doing cardio. Kind of curious about this. Would adding even more of something you're already doing actually help or hinder (like leading to a burn out)?
So this morning I changed the goal to do strength and flexibility, while still doing the regular cardio. By next Saturday I want to be able to do 18x2 pushups, and be more flexible.
Today was 15&12 pushups as a benchmark
(Are the daily updates supposed to be in this thread, or the other threads?)
Hitzatak, I like your pic AND your Mophie Juice Pack!I'm going to get into muay thai and cut down my stomach fat!
Will post details. My starting weight is: 70kgs.

P.S. I'm already a week in though and been trying my best to go 5 times a week.
