After going on for 2 years away from the gym, as promised to myself and talked about in many of my recent blogs, I have re-joined a gym after a year and a half away. After losing my desire and motivation in 2015 for certain types of training in the gym, particularly weight training, I have now got that hunger back. 3-4 years of pushing my body in the gym (mates Home Gym & Virgin Active) my body really did need a rest, particularly my upper body but now I have that hunger back. I miss seeing my abs defined, I miss having that ripped upper back and v-shape, I miss being toned and most of all I miss feeling fit and strong. I know that I am probably past my physical athletic peak, I think I know that myself, I've not quite got that same explosiveness, speed and athleticism as I had at 27,28,29 years old, but as I hit 30 my strength and conditioning hit a whole new level and although I have been fairly inactive over the last 2 years, at 32 years old I am ready to get super fit again. Now I am in my 30's, I know my body may not look as 'chiselled' as it did in my late 20's, naturally we have more body fat in our 30's and naturally my natural weight is heavier than a few years ago - but I think now, in my early 30's and with the experience I have in knowing my own body and what works and what doesn't - I can feel that for the next few years I can really be the strongest and most powerful I've ever been. Athletically I may have peaked, but strength and power wise - I think there is more to come and I haven't started massively declining yet - im naturally fit and that will always be on my side as when I train - I train to push myself to my limits. BELOW ARE A FEW CLIPS ON RJ SPORTS TV OF MY FIRST TRAINING SESSION BACK IN THE GYM I thoroughly enjoyed my first official training session back in the gym and I felt I did okay. Over the last year or so I've been focusing on home workouts, mainly core strength and don't get me wrong they benefited my abs and core but I have been no where near the condition I was in at Virgin Active. I started off with good intentions and had some good home equipment but I think I was kidding myself deep down, I knew my conditioning was not where it should be and maybe that showed when I struggled the last 5 or 6 miles at London Marathon last year. I still qualified for 'Good For Age' and the London Marathon for another 2 years but my conditioning wasn't good enough. I know my body better than ever now and I now weigh almost 11 stone (football once a week being my only major form of exercise recently) and I've been eating far too much sugar and being quite lazy. That's all out of my system now and I'm ready to push my body again. I'm beginning my early sessions with working on a bit of everything, getting that overall fitness and strength back - then once I'm happy I have a good solid foundation I'm going to start isolating muscles and particular types of training. Since last Saturday when I had my induction, I've had 4 training sessions and have all been amazing - I've also done my first ever 'virtual classes' which was great fun, P90X and Insanity - very energetic and tough with short intervals (see pictures below). I'm both excited and happy with the gym and it's pretty quiet which is good too, it's a gym that is free for residents at my apartment I live at with my beautiful fiancée Katie and I'm excited about building my body back up again in this gym.
