Changing my lifestyle using maths and hard work
13 months ago I was in Shangahi and was talking with Nigel about fitness and health and how that effects all aspect of life .
At the time I had a ” brain of a gladiator but the body of the michelin man ” .
So I decided I was going to change my health and fitness around , so withthe help of Nigel He mentioned a few things .
A1. Monitor .
What you eat and what you do .
It’s very simple the body is a machine what ever you put in is either burned off or stored ,
To monitor my activity I bought Jawbone as this monitors activity and sleep . This I have to say was ettential as I placed a goal of 10,000 steps a day and I made sure I achieved it .
One week ago I reached 4milliom steps a average of 12,000 a day
Strongly reccomend this for anyone looking to getting fit and healthy as it links up the iPhone and advices on ypur diet / activity and sleep what you need to do more of / less of . A feature which I see valuable is the ability to connect with friends and monitor and encourage each other . We might have all the advance technology in the world but deep down peer pressure and group mentalty has such amazing effect .
2. Activity
One key thing I needed to do was to increase my activity . I did this on many forms :
- Swimming
- Elliptical Machine
- Rowing machine
- Kettle bells
- ( If you ever watched week in life Nigel you understand why !)
- Boxing – as someone who enjoyes the sporty of boxing . Typing this I am in training with the guys and girls for “Tony Evans & deVere Group Executive Fight Night “
- Joined Club 360 in Tokyo , which helped me with fitness and nutrition ( there be specific blog post on this next week )
3. Goals –
Without goals we can’t measure how far we gone and how far we need to go . When I started I had a huge goal to achieve so I broke it down to months , weeks , day goals . By knowing my numbers I was able to reach goals . 4 week to go to hit my target 82kg and 15% body fat .
There’s so much information on what worked for me but knowing the figures was key .
I became passionate about food and how it effects the body , mind . The way the body works and how excersie on mind / body .
I be writing more about this as this has become a passion for me now , as the healthy living has become a lifestyle choice for me and I can tell you it was one of best desicion I ever made .
