Getting fit again

It has been a while since I last blogged what I have been up to. Running my own Boot Camp has gone extremely well to begin with. Getting back into the swing of things to get my fitness cranking!
Body resistance exercises have been working really well for me lately and I will continue with those in the mean time before looking at strength training.

Go well with your fitness reigme's. Just do It!

Mechanical Bulls!

It has been a while since I last wrote a blog. Been busy with study and full time work. Fitness has been going well. Tonight a couple of friends and I went to watch the Rugby League and then had a go on a Mechanical Bull! The first two times I got thrown off I bumped my elbow and knee on the horns. 3rd time round I changed my hand grip and squeezed tightly into the bull and hung on twice as long, however I am suffering now from bruised inner thighs! HAHA, I knew that would happen, oh well it was a heap of fun and I got to pit myself against the bull.

2 weeks away from starting Fitness Evolved in Pukekohe. I am looking forward to helping people become fit and healthy for a life time.

Go well with your fitness goals and flick me a message if you need any encouragement.

Large Muscle group or multiple groups vs Specific

A very Happy HAPPY SPARKLE DAY (Sunday) to you all! This mornings topic of interest is to do with Large muscle groups vs specific.

Large muscle group or multiple groups vs specific. How and why squats lunges push-ups achieve quick results.  Different exercises target different muscles or groups of muscles.  If you have time to spend hours and hours in gym and want to sculpt specific muscles you might choose to do exercises which pinpoint individual muscles... bicep curls, leg presses.
If you want to get the most from a workout in the minimum time, you choose exercises which use multiple muscles or muscle groups and exercises which use the largest muscle groups.  The biggest muscles are in the legs so squats and lunges are a great choice.  And push-ups and bridge hold use the muscles of your core (Abs), back and chest so are also very efficient.
By using these exercises in your workout you'll see results all over... fast!

New 30 Challenges 3 of them!

Congratulations if you have made it to the end of any of your 30 day challenges!

I had 2 running side by side.

They were to read one proverb a day for 30 days. This was very helpful from a spiritual point of view and kicking start my Bible reading and time with God.

The other one was the 120 Challenge. This proved to be tough but I managed to keep it up even when I just did not want to do it. Feel stronger though.

New Challenges set.

1.POWER CLEAN, this is not the normal everyday jobs such as doing the dishes, but finding an area that has been left for a while and needs a good sort. Minimum time 20 minutes everyday. Keep a record and you will be pleasantly surprised how much you get through. Sally my wife is joining me on this challenge.

2.Prayer with my wife and committing the day to the Lord


3. Spend at least 10 minutes a day on my registration folder for Teacher Registration.


Go well and achieve all you want to achieve. Have a Terrific Wow Wednesday!

120 Challenge Day 28 Double Diploma Fitness & Business

Happy Super Saturday to you all.

I hope your dreams of becoming fit and well are coming true. Keep at it. Keep forming those habits over 30 days and see your life change before your eyes!

Well I am nearing the end of this challenge and it has been a goodie!

I have found the Push ups the hardest exercise out of the 4 (Squats, Lunges, Pups, Supermans Down hold up hold timing)

However after nearly 30 days of this challenge I have noticed that my strength has improved and that it is isn't a struggle to do the 30 with a hold towards the bottom of the Push up!

I have begun a journey into a third career that being Fitness and Business, a Double Diploma! I am looking forward to the challenge and relishing the opportunity to learn how to be a Personal Trainer. In turn I am aiming to open a location under Fitness Evolved in a few months time here in Pukekohe.

I hope all of you have an awesome day and thanks for reading the is blog it shows that you are interested in bettering yourself in your own well being but also willing to learn. Well done!!

Day 21 120 Challenge (New 30 day Praying)

Hardest 120 Challenge so far on Day 21! Samuel was underneath me on top of me mostly when I was doing my 30 Push ups with a 2 second hold, got to 15 out of 30 and felt like I had done 50 with the resistance! You'll make a great Personal Trainer Son!

I also managed to split 3 big logs tonight in 20 minutes. I have been doing one a night for the past 3 nights and tonight I got an awesome sweat up with cardio and strength together.

Did the 120 Challenge after dinner. Feel quite comfortable and relaxed now. Starting the 30 day praying for Muslims tonight.

Broke 2.2km Course Record Boot Camp

On Friday the 13th July I ran my quickest time to date, 7 mins 34 sec eclipsing the previous record set by One of the guys who beat me 8 weeks ago the first time I ran this distance quick. This opened up my competitiveness and made me want to train harder. Funnily enough over time and with Boot Camp training I went from 8.10mins, down to 7.55 mins, down to 7.40mins and then surpassing the 7.38 min record running 7.34 mins

My goal is to eventually break 7minutes and run within the 6 minute area. To do that I will need to put in some serious training which my next 30 day challenge will involve cardio sprints to up my speed and ability to last longer at top speed!

Go well everyone!
