Rhys Gregory’s Summer Fitness Programme

Aim:

  • To lose weight on the stomach area
  • Get fitter (general)

I have been reading everywhere that I need to boost my metabolism so that when I do cardio exercising and anything that burns calories, it should burn more off!

Metabolism

To do I am cutting back on the diet coke as it slows it down, drinking more water as it speeds it up!

A light bit of weight lifting, nothing to get me pumped or anything but apparently although it doesn’t burn off lots of calories when working out, it does mean that if you are fitter you burn more off anyways!

Don’t skip on the breakfast – eat fruit and vegetables.

Early Lunch and an earlier Dinner also helps.

Daily Exercise

Consists of:

Run or fast walk

Aim to go swimming

Try and go bicycle riding (even 1 of the 3 will do or multiple)

Walk as much as I can (although I drive to the gym? Haha)

 

Hopefully if I decrease my calorie intake and burn up more during the day I will lose weight!

 

Additions:

Rowing Machine.

Exercising daily/weekly on a regular fixed basis.

Sit ups / press ups (although I have been lazy and haven’t done many.

Squash / Badminton / Tennis / Football – one off occasions, I want to make this weekly!

Stomach Crunches

Also stop drinking alcohol!

    Just a point – you have to do some cardiovascular work at a medium intensity for at least 20 mins minimum to burn enough calories to notice a difference :) and 3 times a week or more too lol.

    And, even though there isn't an exercise in the world which can make you lose fat in any one specific place, losing weight in general takes effect over the whole body, the stomach is unfortunately the last place you notice it, cos its the first place men put it on lol

    Thought I'd share that with you :)

    lol thanks for that – no 1 else seems to bother commenting.

    I'm trying to do as much as I can and like you said, you can't choose where you lose the fat from…

    Been trying to do as much cardio work as poss along with some baby weights lmao.

    Do you go to the gym?
