Biceps of Nadal!

I figured its time to get to work and get properly prepped for my early morning work out tomorrow. The whole point of my blog originally was to keep track on my fitness and keep myself motivated. Another thing I'd like to do is remain brutally honest with myself and any readers I might have out there. So I thought Id best outline my fitness plans, here goes.

I aim to get up at 6am every day.
I'll get up have a banana or an orange juice and get over to the gym for 6.30.
Once at the gym this is roughly the routine I will initially start to follow.

• Treadmill or bike for 5 minutes to start the warm up.
• Continue warm up on the rower for a further 10 minutes.
• I plan to work up my body through my muscle groups starting with the calves, then the quads, abs (lower and upper, separately) then onto my Chest, shoulder and finishing with my triceps and biceps. I'll do 12 reps per muscle group then quickly move onto the next group.
• Once that cycle has been complete I will rest for 2 minutes then begin the cycle again.

Initially I plan to follow the above routine 3 times a week, once I get myself into the routine and feel a little more confident I intend to research further and look into other muscle groups and hopefully become a little more hardcore. On top of this I hope to get some football and squash in there too, the football being reliant on the weather (told you I'd be honest). :)

I'm really happy with how my year has started. I haven't touched a drop of booze for 18 days now and I'm feeling excited and optimistic about my progression.

This next part the whole hitting the gym will be the hardest part for me. I've not hit the gym consistently for a long long time. I need to keep myself in the right frame of mind and just knuckle down. I can't make excuses for my lack of fitness any more.
