It’s time to get serious, it’s time to get ripped.
I’ve taken it pretty easy the first sixty-days going from fat to fit, barely spending three hours a week working out.
I was demonstrating how relatively easy it is to get back in shape, even in Middle-Age, but now I want more.
More definition in my abs. More definition in my arms and shoulders and most of all a bigger, more chiseled chest.
My challenge is this, I’m kind of lazy when it comes to working out.
- It’s BORING.
- It’s tedious.
Once I realized I would get bored with any kind of workout video, it was just a matter of time, so I stopped trying fun and exciting and concentrated on making it short and effective.
Well, maybe not that challenging, after all.
Considering my success of the last eight months I don’t see it as much of a problem, it’s only a matter of making a few small changes to my admittedly easy workout routine.
As part of my morning Stretching and Calisthenics Routine I do ten regular push-ups, I’m going to make it twelve, maybe fifteen. I’m also going to increase my Ab Wheel from ten sets of three to twelve sets of three.
My stretching is coming along fine, no changes there.
Three of my Calisthenics exercises I hold a three-pound dumbbell in my hand(s), going to up it to five-pound dumbbells.
Small Changes Can Equal Big Results!
These small adjustments to my Morning Stretching and Calisthenics Routine will add a few minutes to my morning workout, but not too much I hope.
I’m going to do thirty Pull-Ups a week instead fifteen, that makes two Door Gym workouts a week instead of one.
I’ll do two Push-Up workouts a week instead od one, which is nine sets of ten Push-Ups with varying inclines and hand placement, for a weekly total of one hundred eighty.
I suppose I’ll also need to do two days of my Arm, Shoulder and Leg Workout to round it all out.
At this point it’s still a work in progress, but I don’t plan on working out more than four hours a week, and I won’t. Bike riding not included.
I stay in shape to ride my bike, I don’t ride my bike to stay in shape, although it does help.
