Well, I made it to the gym BEFORE WORK this morning!!! It was great, sorted my bag last night as suggested and dragged myself out of bed by promising myself that I would do it "just once" to see what all the fuss was about. I'm really glad i did, felt really alert and awake afterwards and had a really productive day. Plus everyone kept saying how great I looked because i was all glowing and energised instead of sporting the grey and tired first - thing - in - the - morning look.
So cheers Willbie!
No probs! Actually slept in myself but made it down after work for a hard session. I always make a point to go to the gym on a Monday morning, get's the week of to a great start :thup:
I had my latest Boxercise session yestrday afternoon (Wednesday). Im definitely feeling the benefits now, plus I can feel an improvement in my strength, particularly on my left side :thup:
Am doing 30 mins X-trainer every day, plus 12 mins row and 12 mins bike every second day.
Main intention is just to get in shape, a by-product of which will be a 1 stone weight loss. Tend to do this every year then pile it back on in the second half!
No weight loss as yet but through experience, it tends to kick in after a month or so. Feeling a lot better already, and this week's 5-a-side was noticibly sharper than in months. :thup:

What's your diet like?
Not the best, but better than it used to be. Also I drink a lot lot less than before. I wouldn't say my diet is particularly filled with lots of fresh fruit and veg though.
Diets just don't happen with me so it's the exercise that works

Also how many calories should you be eating for bulking?
</BLOCKQUOTE>
Depends on your weight and your metabolism really.
An average guy needs 2500 calories a day to stay the same weight. As I'm smaller than average I need 2100 a day. I'm on a bulk diet so I'm eating around 3000 cal's a day, but I find it easy to put on muscle and fat.
A guy I know eats 5000 cals a day becuase he finds it hard to put on weight.
