On 3rd of April this year (title: Mission Possible), I created a post that mentioned about my mission to lose weight in time for my sister's wedding. Well, frankly, I have to admit that I did not exactly accomplish that mission. I did lose some weight but not to my targetted weight. Now that the school holidays are here, all the more I need to be extra, extra careful about what I eat. Like the saying goes, you are what you eat.
Okay, so here's the exercise regime that I've worked out.
Start date: 29 November 2005
Deadline: 29 January 2006
Mission
- To lose 3kg within 60 days
- To shed 3 cm off my waist
Objectives
- To maintain a healthy weight
- Develop healthy eating habits in order to be able to perform my very best in whatever challenge I intend to undergo
- Save money - Can always borrow Kakak's clothes and local sizes tend to be smaller and cheaper as well.
- Health reasons - Have been feeling lethargic very easily, get headaches frequently etc.
- Need to get my body moving (ie: exercising regularly) in order to boost my immune system and stay healthier and radiant all the time
Current weight
63 kilograms
Waist size
32.5 centimetres
Exercise plan
Odd days (ie: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday & Sunday)
- 45 minutes of walking
- Wall Push Up
A) Stand a few feet away from a wall and place hands on wall at shoulder level, a few inches wider than shoulders. (B) Pull the abs in and, keeping back straight, bend elbows and lower body towards the wall until elbows are at 90 degree angles.
- Outer Thigh
(A) Holding on to a chair for balance, bend right knee to 90 degrees. (B) Keeping body upright, lift bent leg straight up until it's parallel to the floor. Slowly lower back to start and repeat on each leg. For added resistance, use 1-5 lb ankle weights or a resistance band.
- Floor Squat
(A) Stand with feet wider than shoulders and place hands on the floor, ball or a chair (depending on flexibility). (B) Bend knees and, keeping weight in the heels, lower butt until it's parallel to floor (or as low as you can). Keep abs in and make sure you can see your toes.
Even days (ie: Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday)
- 2 minutes of skipping (Do you know how hard this is???)
- 40 minutes of walking
Oblique Crossover Crunches
Lie on your back and cross right foot over left knee. Lift shoulder blades off the floor and curl left shoulder towards right knee, contracting the right side of waist. Lower and repeat on the same side before switching sides.
Vertical Leg Crunch
1. Lie face up on the floor and extend the legs straight up with knees crossed.
2. Contract the abs to lift the shoulder blades off the floor, as though reaching your chest towards your feet.
3. Keep the legs in a fixed position and imagine bringing your belly button towards your spine at the top of the movement.
4. Lower and repeat for 12-16 reps.
Bridge with Leg Lift
Lie face up on the floor, knees bent. Push body into a bridge position, supporting your weight on your feet and arms. Straighten one leg up, heel flexed and slowly lower leg out to the side a few inches WITHOUT moving the rest of the body. Use the abs to stabilize your body and don't hold your breath. Do all reps on one leg, then switch sides
Wish me luck, guys.
