Train till you Puke!

Hello all,

So in Sunny England now for some interviews!! Yeah right, somebody lied, its freezing here and I am holed up under my duvet covers trying not to freeze to death. Well I ask, what’s the best way to keep warm? Maybe a cup of hot chocolate, watching the Emperors New Grove with a darling sweetheart by your side...


Or, maybe a crazy work out to get the heart rate pumping and the body sweating? Though I am sure a darling sweetheart could accomplish the same thing. Enough jokes, please lend me your ears (or eyes in this case...), Have you watched immortals? Well  Thesesus, or shall I say Henry Cavill, did not use any photo shop in this work out, no CGI...that crazy rippedness is all him! How?? Forget about the 300, if this is Sparta, then Cavil must be Spartacus because he went through a gruelling 500 repetition work out...The best thing about it? No Gym required, its all Body Weight!!!


I tried it. I managed 3.5 rounds. I got dizzy. I threw up...I will definitely do it again!

The work out:
-         - A circuit of 4 exercises.
-          -You do 25 repetitions of each exercise, resting for 8 deep breaths between each exercise.
-          -After the 4th exercise, rest a minute (trust me! You need it)
-          -And repeat 4 times...essentially doing 5 rounds of 100 manouvres

The Exercises:
-         - Hindu Press Up (25)

-          -Hindu Squats (25)

-          -Burpees (25)

-          -Bicycle Crunches (25)

Happy suffering!

So why did I throw up? Well I let my ego get the best of me and tried the work out on an empty stomach, not to mention being dehydrated because of the English artificial heating. PLEASE head my warning, eat well and hydrate before, during and after attempting to do this!

Tomorrow I will explain the importance of eating and eating well in detail. Right now I have some preparation to do for 3 interviews next week...
Wish me luck!
Sonny

PS: on an interesting note, Cavill had below 8% body fat for immortals and now has to gain 10 KG of muscle as he is going to be the new year’s Super Man. Mr Cavill, I have no doubt that you will smash this goal, I just cannot wait to find out how!

Happy New Year

Hi there peeps and peepettes...

Happy New Year, it’s been a while!! I know that I have been awful at blogging but for once it is not my fault! With hardly any constant access to the internet, I have not been able to sort the Spartan aspect to this blog... I got a massive telling off and was called out for being lame L

As with any ego, I now gotta get blogging or dye trying..haha...
You will be happy to know that the point behind the blog has not been wasted. I have been p90x-ing hard! I have now lost 3 kg’s and now stand at 11% body fat...looks like the goal to become the beast is not too far fetch'ed! GRrrrrr....Mind you after meeting up with Odongo, an old neighbour (he now is a rugby pro – Yes that is my claim to fame)...I have realised that as Cassie said, you have a long way to go.

So a current picture with my improvements so far:

Starting tomorrow I will go into depth with every exercise I do, or get people to do...

Speaking about people, I was chatting to Miss Justice League randomly about sexy thighs (I am frightful to agree with her on the aesthetic powers of certain assets), this got me pondering about how the goals of men and women differ. 

Bolstered by a FB inbox for a workout plan and Big Sean’s song about A$$ A$$ A$$ A$$ A$$ A$$....I have decided that I will take some time to figure out a fitness regime that is sexy acceptable. Currently my thoughts are very much on less cardio and more weighted exercise mixed in with mega diet...I shall blog about it in depth after some consultation and brain storming.....

Finally found the mother of all lower ab exercises, every single person I know says I want to lose belly fat. I should point out that this doesn’t happen through massive amounts of crunches.It’s actually a combination of:
·         - Diet
·         - Cardio
·         - Ab Blasting

In that order! An Ab blast is when you perform say various exercises in quick succession...This means that your abdominals are triggered by the constant motion, which also provides localised cardio fat burning benefits. This means that in about 15 minutes you can actually get through say 250 manoeuvres.

So an example Ab blast:
·         25 sit ups
·         25 crunches
·         25 Leg raises
·         25 Bicycle kicks
·         25 Russian twist
·         Front Plank (90 seconds) and side Planks (60 seconds)
These are done one after the other without any rest, and for those true Spartans out there, repeat it!

Back to the killer lower ab exercise (the exe at 1:39):

Sleep well amigos!
