One of the main topic of this blog is about fitness, and I been brain storming on how I should approach this. First I am going to list my fitness goals, then I will update my progress.(I will go into details on why I picked goals later) Also I will share on how I approach each goal, and methods I use to achieve it. If you follow my post you might find something useful or you can leave comments and let me know what works or what not.
I want to achieve all these goals by July 3rd, because that is my birthday and is on the week of Tough Mudder that I plan on doing.
My fitness goals, I also list them with difficulty at my current fitness level.
-Drop weight to 165 - Currently 175
First goal I want to achieve is to get my weight down to 165 – Currently at 175, I will try to achieve this by cutting down my body fat, and also it will help me achieve other goals that I am going to list.
-30 pull-ups level 1 – Currently 26
I like to use pull ups use measurements because it is difficult to cheat on this exercise. This test your body strength and I think able to knock out 30 will really put me on the top 5% of fitness level.
-1 arm pull-ups 2x level 2- Currently 0
Ok I just added this goal in this week when I was watching people doing them on YouTube, I feel like this will really separate a fit person to a poser. I can never do them, and I just started doing pull ups with weight and hopefully I can 2 one arm pull ups by July, why 2? Because I think the first pull ups never really count even if you start at a dead hang position.
Bench Press 300 level 1 – Currently 250
Ok this test my chest muscle and the reason I don’t use pushups as measurement because I think it is really easy to cheat on pushups and when you max it out the last few is never right, also there the faster you do them the easier it is, so I just want to use beach press as measurement.
Touch the Basketball rim level 3 – Currently not even the backboard
Ok this is jumping without a running start, same reason I choose this is because you can’t really cheat on touching the backboard. I feel like this is my weakest point, I am around 5’10 but I am not able to touch the board yet, I don’t think I will achieve this goal by July3rd, but I will try to achieve it sometime later on this year
3 Miles – Sub 18mins
Ok I haven’t ran a timed 3 miles since 2005 maybe, and 18mins is the perfect score you can achieve in the Marine PFT, it is also the hardest fitness test for Marines to achieve perfect score on. I will time myself sometime next week and post my time on here.
These are my current goals, I am sure I will add more in as time go on. I will go into more details and progress in later posts.
