Well, I guess I should really just call it my workout. I do not follow as strict as a diet as I should. I will watch what I eat and try to not over eat, but there are times when I want a beer and some fried chicken wings.
5 to 7 days a week, I will go to the gym in the morning. I will go directly to my bike. It is my bike. I like that bike and if someone is on it. Well, it will just wreck my day. There is another one that I like, but that one is my favorite. I will stake my claim on the bike and then walk a lap around the gym on the indoor track. (10 times around = 1 mile)
I will stretch a little and then break into my workout on the bike. I will do the Body for Life 20 minute HIIT method. Here is how it works, on a scale 1 to 10 is 1 is standing still and 10 is all out sprint. I will do a 5 for two minutes then over the next 16 minutes, broke up into 4 separate segments will be a 6, 7, 8, 9 and then the 18th minute will be a 10, then the 19th will be a 5.
3 to 4 days a week, I will be back at night to lift weights. Building muscle is a great way to speed up the metabolism. So, you can actually work out less when you are at your ideal body weight, but I have found that you will want to be more active when you are feeling much better.
I will chest and triceps, then back and biceps, then shoulders and the legs. I will toss in some ab work from time to time as well, whether in the morning or the afternoon. Some days, when I am feeling really energetic. I will jog/spring a quarter to a half mile it really juices the metabolism.
I know I would be experience greater weight loss if I would watch my diet better, but man cannot live by bread alone and my ideal goal weight is 225 lbs. I know that may seem like a lot to some people, but I do carry a nice amount of muscle on me now.

So, stay tuned for some great updates on my loss and from my sponsors. Here is to you seeing less of me
