This is a blog to track my progress to getting a ripped body. This is it's primary purpose. The secondary purpose is to enable a means to keep to my schedule in achieving this goal.
I was overweight at 85kg and managed to reduce that to 79kg by eating healthy and swimming 4-5 days a week. In my opinion, running is a dangerous way for obese people to reduce weight. A minimum of 30mins of running is needed to see a reduction in weight; and 30mins of an impact sport such as running for an obese person will surely cause knee, ankle and back injuries. After a few shin splints due to running, I switched to swimming (no impact) which helped me to reduce my weight in 2 months painlessly. Now that I am down to 79kg, I am switching to running and increasing strength to get a ripped body. I would like to lose a little more weight, but losing weight is not my goal right now. Getting a ripped body is....I think in my journey towards that goal, I would lose a lot of weight and so am not worried about it.
The plan is to work out 5-6 days a week alternating running 45mins on one day and cardio exercises the next day. So if all goes according to plan, I will be posting on the days that I do my workouts; which should be 5-6 days a week. I will note that I might not be able to workout on some days due to working late at office and on those days, there will be no post. So today to start off, I ran 23mins non-stop. It's not great, but it's a start...
