Need Help…Want To Get Muscular

Sunday, July 29th, 2007

I’d like to build muscle definition on my currently flabby body. I’m not as flabby as before thanks to Nutrisystem but though I’ve lost a considerable amount of weight I still have flab here and there. So what’s the best way to get rid of fat and build muscle?

I’m doing cardio (via boxing) a few times a week and will probably integrate some sort of strength training. I do a lot of pushups in my boxing class but that’s probably not enough. Do you have any advice for me?

I don’t need to look this muscular. In fact, I think the 3rd guy is photoshopped. Can’t be that big, can he?

Our Coach

Saturday, July 28th, 2007

I told you guys that I’m taking a boxing/muay thai class. Yep, I try to go three times a week. Anyway, here’s one of our coaches. His name is Romie (in the black shorts) and he’s pretty bad ass. He knocked out this dude in 2 minutes.

I’m not hard core like Romie. I’m not going to be fighting opponents (at least not his caliber opponents). I’m just looking to get more fit and get more muscle definition after losing weight on Nutrisystem. The diet was tough and I don’t want to gain my weight back again after all that hard work. The boxing/muay thai classes are awesome because it’s a 90 minute class and they work you almost every minute of it. You sweat a lot, burn a lot of calories, and hopefully after a few months look like you’re in tip, top shape.

I Told My Wife I’d Look Like David Beckham One Day…

Friday, July 27th, 2007

So I told my wife that I’m going to work out hard and try to look like David Beckham one day. Might be a tough task considering that I was grossly overweight just a few months back. I’m down to the 170’s now and am trying to get to the 160’s level. I can thank Nutrisystem for giving me a jumpstart on my weight loss regimen. Now I need to burn off a little bit more fat and develop some muscle.

I think the Beckham dream (particularly the six-pack) is still a bit far off but we’ll see what happens. Lol.

Nutrisystem Diet Update

Thursday, July 26th, 2007

I’m officially off the Nutrisystem diet and I lost a total of 16 pounds. I was on the Nutrisystem weight loss plan for approximately 5 weeks and while it was tough it was worth every moment. I was able to shed some unwanted weight and now I’m looking to get toned. I recently joined a boxing/kickboxing/Brazilian ju-jitsu club.

Here’s a picture of the kickboxing class. I’m not pictured but I’ll post one soon. Who knows, if I get toned enough maybe I’ll post one of myself shirtless. =)

For those looking to lose weight, I’d highly recommend Nutrisystem (at least for a month or two). Lose the weight you want to lose and then tone yourself up by doing intense cardio workouts. You can do Nutrisystem and an intense cardio program at the same time but I was too lazy to do so.
