My stat
Weight: 60kg
Height: 168 cm

I was very active during uni time (mountain climbing, kayaking, cycling..etc) so basically will be training every evening. Trainings are usually just focusing on fitness/stamina/flexibility. Took up karate for curicullum activitiy and stuck with it till i finished uni.
When i started working, it all went down hill. Swim and play badminton once a week and rod skipping at home occasionally but still not enough I guess cause can literally feel myself getting weaker, get tired easily after just a few flight of stairs and put on fats too. sad.gif
So early this year, besides swimming and badminton once a week, I took up yoga for 3 month (3~4 times a week). Quit yoga class and joined a gym early May. Started doing some weightlifting. Now when I flex my arms can see a small bump already (goofy grin)... I guess there are some other changes too cause my brother asked me if I have been going to the gym.

Workout is usually Mon ~ Thursday.
Consist of cardio, weightlifting and also joining the class that is available on that day.

As for diet, typical Monday~Friday meals:
Breakfast: 2 slices of Gardenia wholemeal bread (pb, jam& cheese or ham&cheese), 1 Yakult and coffee at work. Pre-lunch: Fruits.
Lunch: Mixed rice or noodles.
Tea time: Biscuits or fruits & tea.
Dinner: Depends on what i have in the fridge. Eat out will be veg, some meat and small rice.

Weekend: Nandos/US pizza/McD ice cream/cheese cake... ph34r.gif

Supplements: Multivit (1 tablet/day which most of the time I didn't take cause it makes me feel nauseous after)


This journal is to help me keep track of my progress and also as a motivation to myself.

Can you explain your workout? Do you workout based on your mood? Or you do have a routine? Routine such as Mon-Chest/Back, Wed-Legs, Fri-shoulder/arms...or push-pull? It is better to have your workout 'designed' properly rather than doing anything you like.

I think it is normal that right is stronger if you are a right-handed person but do not workout with different weights for both arms.

Your meals looks ok to me, you have 6 meals a day and it looks ok to me too:)....You might wanna take in more protein for pre/post workout...
*
Erm.. Don't really have a routine.
I'm still not really sure which one I do is for shoulder or back or chest so I divide my workout as upper body and lower body..
Once I'm familiar with which is for what body parts, I guess only then I'll break it up more...
Push-pull?? I googled but still don't really understand.. doh.gif

More protein ah... hmm.gif
Any suggestion of easy to prepare protein loaded food besides hard boiled eggs? unsure.gif

I think I'm doing No.1 now. hmm.gif
Am doing No. 2 all this time.

Still trying to figure out easy to prepare protein food for pre and post workout. I think I'm gonna get whey protein drinks.

Any recommendation of which brand to go for?

QUOTE(Tristan_11 @ Sep 25 2008, 12:15 AM)
Well, is recommended to do resistance training first before doing any gym class or treadmill (interval training)

Reason:
1) It will burn more carbs because resistance training is a high intensity workout (stress your muscle) in a short burst.
2) Interval training after that will burn more calories per minute and will elevate your metabolism for hours and hours.

But with your working hours, rushing to the gym to attend the classes after work won't have enough time for you to do the resistance traning first. Maybe you need to look into that if you were to stick to this way of training smile.gif

Whey protein is good for repairing and building muscle, remember to have it in the right amount because with your body stats, you are kind of fit. Unless you really want to build those muscle of yours. It might be scarry to some guys later on  laugh.gif  anyway is up to you.

Go to mahkota parade and somewhere around Nandos there is a shop (beside Nokia) selling all those whey protein drinks. They will recommend you a brand that suits your workout conditions.

Well, all the above statement is just my experience and some information i know. If that is a wrong technics, please enlighthen me.  icon_rolleyes.gif

Ok, got what you mean with 1 and 2.
don't think will be getting whey protein first...
will go for milk for pre workout and banana for post.

i'll ask my bro about the whey protein... nod.gif
