40 min workout

Today I managed to do a 40 min workout with pushups, situps, plank, side-plank, crunches, bycicle kicks, and stretches. I've missed a couple of days due to work issues, but hopefully, I'll reduce the misses in the future. Consistency is the key to achievement.

40 min Workout

Today I am back to my full workout routine and I managed to do a 40min workout involving pushups, situps, crunches, plank, side-plank, bicycle kicks and stretches. When working out, it is always important to watch your diet in order to ensure that you are not putting on more than you are burning. But it is also important to eat enough so that you have sufficient energy in order to do your daily activities + a rigorous workout. So eat the correct foods, with lots of protein, fiber and vitamins. Reduce intake of carbohydrates and fats. Fried foods and items such as mayonnaise, sodas, and sweets should be avoided almost entirely.

1.5 hr of Badminton + 35 min workout

Sorry I haven't been posting for the last few days. I actually missed a few workouts due to something which suddenly came up. Anyway I'm now back to my routine, and on track again.

On Thursday I played badminton with the guys for 1.5 hrs which was a good workout; although still not as good as a proper workout which I did yesterday.

I did 35 mins of a proper workout which included pushups, situps, plank, side-plank, crunches, bicycle kicks (new) and stretches.

30 min workout

After having a rest for 2 days after the 10km run, I am back to my workout routine. I managed to do 30mins of pushups, situps, crunches, plank, side-plank and stretches today.

10km in 55mins 23sec

I finally managed to break the 1 hour mark for 10km with my new running technique finishing in 55mins 23secs. I did this on Sunday. So I now need to train for the 21km. But, I hope to be able to finish it first before I focus on improving my time. I have 2 months to prepare for it; and I'm really looking forward to it after the 10km run.

2x40 min workouts

I was able to do 40 min workouts yesterday and today. Each workout comprised of pushups, situps, crunches, plank, side-plank and stretches. I have been getting stronger over the workouts and it was becoming apparent as I was able to do more pushups per set. So I am definitely on the right track.

5km in 29 mins 10 Secs + 45 min workout

On Sunday I managed to break the 30min barrier for my 5km run. I was able to do it in 29 mins and 10 secs. All my previous times were more than 30 mins since my change in running style. So this is the goal I have been waiting for. I now need to break the 60min barrier for my 10km run with my new running style and I will have achieved my second goal.

I also took a rest day yesterday and did a full workout for 40 mins today. I managed to do pushups, situps, crunches, plank, side-plank and stretches.

45 min Workout

Yesterday I was tired, but decided to do the workout anyway. I realized that starting the workout is the most difficult part; but actually doing it is easy. In the end I managed to do a 45 min workout with pushups, situps, crunches, plank, side-plank, and stretches.
