Week Seven - Men in Tights!


Yes that’s right, I wear tights and next week there will be a picture to prove it!! But not as some sort of weird fetish thing, but something called Linebreak ‘compression clothing’ which is a lycra type clothing scientifically proven to increase performance and also aid recovery (I wear the compression tights as a recovery aid and the shorts and top for whilst training). From my professional sport days, we made all the players wear these for training and also as a recovery tool (they also keep you really warm when running in the cold!). You won’t see it on the TV when watching a player interview but many of them will wear these under their clothes as part of the recovering process!

Week Five - Health Check Update


Health Check Update reveals the following small changes which based on the fact I've not been able to aerobically exercise for 2 out of the 4 weeks is probably about right although still a little disappointing (as I know if I'd been able to train more, the results would be better):

  • Body Weight down 1kg
  • Body Fat down just 1.5%
  • Hydration a minor 0.5% better
  • Blood Pressure still within healthy levels

Week Six - Hotel Training


This week has been a tough one at work and I’ve worked about 65 hours and spent some time away from home in hotels. This is a really important part of the programme as it’s so very easy to fall into the ‘get to the hotel, eat, have a drink and then go to bed’ routine.


If you travel, you’ll know what I mean. Staying away usually means for most people no exercise at all and you usually overeat or drink alcohol (fortunately I’m not a big drinker so that helps!). This is particularly the case if you stay away with colleagues as it’s harder to not get involved with socialising.

Week Four - One month completed!


A good week of activity, did a couple of runs to work which make such a big difference (especially as when I start the day, the activity is done!). I’m not a morning person for exercise, usually prefer to train midday or early evening so it’s a great tip to go in the morning (if you can) – you’ll start work feeling so much better and energetic.


Core work is still causing a few aches and pains but that’s only because I’m pushing myself a little to make up for lost time. It’s health check update next week and I’m expecting some small changes but nothing exciting due to the limited time I’ve been training in the first 4 weeks due to my asthma. I just wish the change of weather didn’t have such an impact on my breathing function! I have a plan to improve this though.
