Man boobies and Beer guts - advice needed
-
Have been running every second day for last couple of weeks and slowly getting further each time before the heart feels like it's about to explode. The first night couldn't believe how unfit I was, then each night run same way and aim for something in distance to better the previous run. <br />
Caught up with old school mate who is putting together a team of mates keen on one last season so have been thinking of taking the boots out of retirement. Only 4th team stuff, fun and a few beers sort of thing. -

Also do the pressups, sit ups thing, and bought a set of dumbells so can throw in some curls and shoulder press to get upper body a decent lash after a row.<br />

Mate of mine had a good tip for that - mix up your sets a bit so e.g. one night you do regular rowing routine and then your standard 10/10/10 (or 12/10/8) sets on the dumbells with 30 second break in between.<br />
<br />
Then starting one night, do only 50% of your rowing but do sets of 100 reps on a light dumbell weight. Kills but really works you hard. If you're still feeling up to it, do the rest of your rowing. If you can complete that, then do your regular rowing routine followed by the set of 100... or at least as many as you can <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> -
Its all about keeping your muscles in the dark. Don't let them get settled and all that <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />
