MIKA27 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 As discussed over the phone, great news mate. Hoping you stick it out (As I'm sure you will) it will all get easier in time. Beer = Carbs = No gain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asmith Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 You have inspired my Oz, I got up early this morning and went for a run then came home and have a health shake for breaky. Ok I may have mislead you all there, when I said run read walk, and when I said health shake read bacon and pancakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asmith Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Well I didn't have the pancakes and bacon this morning after my walk, although the scenery around New Farm this morning was less impressive compared to yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maalouly Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Well done mate! I find the best form of training at the gym is crossFit, mixing cardio and weight lifting. Started doing it 12 months ago and never looked back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overproof Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Crossfit is great if you know what your doing. NOT recommended for beginners or for people starting again after years off. I have seen some very gnarly injuries due to Cross and X fit. Not really. My Brother who has never lifted or done any form of exercise, started crossfit and shreded 15kg in the first few months and aside from the general muscle onset a day or two later he's happy with it. It's a very intense workout though 9/10 gnarly injuries are due to poor form and letting the weight or training control you, not the other way round. If they have a good certified trainer (most do) then you should be sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overproof Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 And that's exactly why you pay top buck for these cross fit classes. I think they have 2 trainers per class of 10 showing you the mechanics and how to correctly lift a comfortable weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZCUBAN Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 Yes, and most new people who train tend to have poor form! It takes a while to understand the mechanics, and put them to use safely, behind a clean and jerk for example. Or a proper hip thrust for a romanian deadlift... Poor form! or no form !.My job is very demanding and time is non existant,so a couple of times a week for me at this stage is the best I can do ,but I want to take it easy and learn the correct way of doing things.I am in no hurry (well kind of ) I am sure after a couple of months maybe three I will see major improvements Thank you all for comments,much appreciated Cheers Steve P.S Should have done this years ago ,but it's never to late as they say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
