FAT club

NasserAlazzawi couch to 5k app is amazing ((starts you out on walks and within a matter of weeks you are basically loving running - despite how you imagine it)

Have downloaded it! Have you selected your mentor yet?

303abuser exactly 🤣

Lol, fair enough!

Anyone got any good HIIT style workouts you can do in the house? Anyone thinking of linking to Joe Wicks on YouTube can go and throw themselves under a Citroen H van.

Amps I’ve being doing this one recently. Depending on your level of fitness there are easier or tougher routines. It’s 20sec on 10 sec off. I don’t use a skipping rope, I do jumping jack variations.

The key with HIIT routines for the 20sec’s you’re exercising you HAVE to go hell for leather otherwise it’s a bit pointless.

Anyway, enjoy. Apologies in advance if you die. 😀

Amps og insanity or max 30 are my go to home workouts. if you’re not used to this type of intensity though, ease into it or you won’t walk for a week (i’m not exaggerating that) and you can easily hurt yourself.

Amps

SM001 Got to confess, he’s lacking a little ‘Intensity’ in his ‘HIIT’ there! 😆 I’d have been kicked out the rugby club for that kind of effort!

Amps

Fear not, have done a fair bit of HIIT over the years… I’m more worried about the knees giving way than the heart at the moment.

Amps try Bullyjuice or Yeoh Fitness on You Tube. Would agree insanity lives up to its name. I do this Shaun T challenge twice a week.

oh yeah, that’s what i meant, if your cardio isn’t there, you won’t be able to push yourself that hard anyways. i find the plyo workouts good for my knees as all the surrounding muscles and tendons strengthen, but that first week or two getting back into it usually leaves me with a bit of tendonitis if i’m not careful.

NasserAlazzawi

I’ve never been fitter than after 2 months of Insanity Max 30. In the morning before breakfast/work it would make me arrive positively buzzing!

303abuser

NasserAlazzawi it hurts like crazy, but it works and works well. 10 years ago, insanity got me from skinny fat to athletic in 18 weeks. found it did wonders for mental toughness too.

NasserAlazzawi

303abuser Shall we give it another go?

Between this and couch to 5k I think we could get some nice firm buttocks going by end of lockdown.

Mad_Cyril

NasserAlazzawi
Lol.

Another fat man run this morning. A lot closer to couch than 5k 🤣

303abuser

NasserAlazzawi lol no. i did ⅝ days last week and i’m just doing it while it’s cold out. 3-4 days a week is my max now, otherwise i’m over training and more prone to injury. as soon as it’s above -20, i’m back to hills and stairs.

NasserAlazzawi

Mad_Cyril We actually managed a 3.5hr walk to the bay and back round (22 degrees in feb!?). I’m positively sunkissed and the dogs are fucking doof’d. Never had such peace and quiet

That’s just rubbing it in. I had to cut short because of freezing driving rain.

Though was a relief really!

Expecting a muscle-vest / tan combo tomorrow 🤣

NasserAlazzawi

Look what I found.

Can’t see any Sash! tunes Nass???

303abuser

NasserAlazzawi did cardio challenge this morning, i love that that’s the “easy” one from max 30. at least that stupid tanya chick from the og series isn’t in it. 😀

SM001

Amps I think he nearly fell over at one point. 😆 The skip rope is pointless in a HIIT routine. It takes a couple of seconds to get going and another couple of seconds to wind down.
