End of Week Two

OK so that's the end of week 2 and despite the fact I have had 2 curry's and a pizza this week I've managed to drop 2% body fat so now I'm down to 15%. However I have gained 1 1/2 pounds, so by using the mygym and mixing up my training it would appear that I have gained 1 1/2 pounds of lean muscle... Happy days, more importantly I am feeling a lot fitter, healthier and much more motivated, to carry out normal every day tasks as well as the training. I'm also happier with what I'm seeing in the mirror, so not only are the figures on the scales more pleasing so is my appearance... All this with a broken leg!! I think if I'm getting results like this without proper cardio vascular training I will continue to incorporate this system into a more rigorous training routine once I'm back on my feet and fully recovered, it'll definitely be playing a massive part of my rehabilitation.

Squidoo.

I've just been browsing away like you do, and stumbled across a site called squidoo. This site looks pretty mega and really quite addictive, basically you create something called a lens, this gives you the opportunity to share your interests or expertise, even hire out your services.. Other great features are it's free, easy and there seems to be money making opportunities to be had this includes a modest but obtainable referral service, you get your mates to join and when they reach $15 you BOTH get an extra $5 each, winner or should that be winners?? I will be looking into this in more detail over the next few days and I'll post opinions on my other blog, I'm pretty sure I'll be using them as one of my money making efforts. For those who don't know I'm (as of next month) going to try and earn £10 a day for a year without massive out goings!! Check it out cash4nowt, there's not too much going on there at the mo because I'm giving myself about a month for research and setting the ball rolling.....
As for as recovering from injury goes I'm counting down the days to my next x ray, a week on Tuesday.. I hope it's good news and I can start some rehab. As for today's training I got to it this morning worked hard and built up a bit of a sweat... Sorry let myself down a little this evening by grabbing a take away pizza, oh well just have to work twice as hard tomorrow.

Wanna Buy A Car?

I've just come across a site selling a couple of motors, it's quite a humour es site so I thought I'd pass on the details, check it out let's see if we can get him a good deal, it sounds like he's had some bad experiences. I'd make him an offer if he carries on posting like that, unfortunately (for him) I don't need a car. It's near Cambridge U.K apparently.

I love my mygym.

I've just finished another session on the mygym and as per usual it performed fantastically. Now please don't get me wrong I'm not completely new to the art of working out, I know my way around a gym, and there is no substitute for free weights when it comes to changing the shape/appearance of your body but this little box of tricks should have a place in everyone's arsenal if they're wanting to improve fitness, loose body fat, or just general well being, ( not everyone works out to look like Arnie!!). That's right anybody old or young, veteran gym rat to newbie hard gainer, overweight or super toned, everyone can utilize it. It has several pro's over a gym in my humble opinion.

1. You can't fit your gym in the back of your car and take it to your hotel whilst away on business.
2. You don't need to pay someone £40 a month in subscription fees you can't cancel.
3. You don't need to spend your valuable time traveling to and from your mygym.
4. It will offer enough resistance for more serious trainers if used in conjunction with your normal wieght training program.
5. It's small enough to stow under a bed when finished with.

I could go on but I think you get the point.

Cash4nowt

OK so I,m up bright and early ready for another day without work, (yawn), as far as the "looking to make extra cash" goes I've decided to sack that for this blog and just concentrate on getting in shape and recovering from the break. However fear not for I have started a separate blog solely for this purpose. why not check it out here? Enjoy!!
Back on to the good stuff, working out, today is a chest, back, and shoulders day and fortunately for me I don't have to treck half way across town to get my exercise fix. I'll try and upload a couple of videos so you can see the kit in action, you'll probably be quite suprised at the quality of workout you get from such a small piece of equipment.

pay per post

As I said earlier on in the month I would look into any ways of making a little extra cash, even though the possibilities are pretty good for making huge amounts of money, these opportunities seem to be hard work and require a bit more computer know how than average people posses. I'm just looking at different ways to make easy money, for doing very little, I wont exclude any big money methods that I come across, but I'm going to concentrate on finding ways that normal everyday people like you and me can do it. During my search I have come across one website time and time again with nothing but rave reviews, http://www.payperpost.com/. These people really do make making money online simple. All that is required is a quick sign in process, submit your blog and then start making money by writing reviews and posting it on your blog... Easy. Try it it's the way forward! I found out about them by reading Anthoney Jude Lawrences blog at http://www.anthonyjudelawerence.com/. Check this out he has some very good advice, tips, and links for making extra income, promoting your site etc. I will provide as much info on this as I get from these types of programs, and of course how much money I make. I'm pretty sure it wont be at all difficult with PayPerPost!!

My injuries

I thought, since I was writing this about trying to get in shape with an injury I should give a little background into the injury itself... Back in July I was attending a course that required a high level of fitness, throughout the course we had various tests to complete, one of these tests was climbing a 30ft rope... Easy I thought I've done this loads of times, however it had been raining heavily that morning, this was to cause me some slight drama's. I got to the top of the rope, a bit of a struggle but I got there, unfortunately for me I lost my grip at the top and fell. Resulting in a badly broken leg, (see pic). From this I spent three weeks in hospital, and I have been off work hopping about on my good foot, feeling sorry for myself, and getting rather porky ever since. It's close to three months since the accident and it'll probably take a good couple of months yet before I can start using anything other than home fitness kit. I'm having trouble uploading the x ray of picture but will post as soon as I sort it, as this shows the true extent of the damage.

Start of second week

Thanks to watching what I've been eating and working hard on the exercises, I've managed to get myself to 13 st 11.5 pounds and 17% body fat. I'm pleased with this after only one week considering I'm unable to do any cardio vascular work due to my broken leg. I'm convinced anybody out there can get themselves into shape using inexpensive home gym equipment, whether they are simply out of shape, on the road to recovery from an injury, or just want to maintain or improve thier fitness without the hassles and expense of going to a gym.
