Have been working at it, and am now back at my lowest weight since August 2018! Planning to lose an extra 5 lbs over the next month, but happy with my progress 😊

[Fitness Jam @GetAnimeFit]

I have a bit of winter weight and now that my knee seems recovered (and it’s warmer) I’m running into work again! Time to shed those unnecessary pounds so I can feel better in my body again

Join my gym’s “tryathlon” challenge in an attempt to win a month of membership! Posted a 5:02 mile run, a 3:24 1000m row and a 9:48 4 mile cycle! Hoping to win 😋

Though it may be hard to do, I find that working out before the sun is up is actually awesomely cool and makes you feel like Rocky.

I’m in the shape of my life for Colossalcon East. It was super hard work.

But, pro tip, don’t starve yourself. I lost weight as successfully this time working out a lot and eating decent amounts this time then I did a while back completely putting my body into starvation mode

Staten Island Duathlon! Came 2nd behind a Team USA dude, so not feeling too bad. Gotta be a little better to rep 🇬🇧 again though.

Sub 6 for 5 miles is a good milestone for me but I have to keep pushing. Joining a local running club really gave me a kick in the motivation.

I joined a local running club and have been doing it everyday this week. I’m dying squirtle

I’ve been pretty quiet about it until now but I just got my personal trainer license 🙂

Post workout intake should consist mainly of
- Sugars to get that quick energy release
- Protein to build up the muscles you’ve damaged

Avoid
- Fats. They slow down your metabolism right after a workout when you most need your body to be working hard

[Fitness Jam @GetAnimeFit]

If you’re feeling a dip in motivation: challenge yourself with a change, even if only a small one. I’ve been running a lot so a treadmill run tonight didn’t sound great, but I decided to see if I could hold a higher incline for 5km and the self-competition got me through

[Fitness Jam @GetAnimeFit]

I find that cardio is a great mood lifter. It’s much harder to start if you’re feeling down, but commit to at least 10-15 minutes of cardio on a bad day and your mood could certainly improve

[Fitness Jam @GetAnimeFit]

One of my 2018 goals was to win a Duathlon overall. This is much earlier than expected, but I’ve done it https://t.co/GLEAt41V7i

Hey so, I won overall! Not just my age category! There’s a first for everything and I’m ecstatic

[Fitness Jam @GetAnimeFit]

You can then build this up to be 6 times and then cut down the rest time as you continue to push it week on week.

[Fitness Jam @GetAnimeFit]

If you’re struggling with doing longer cardio workouts I recommend starting with interval training.

For example if you’re trying to do running on the treadmill 3 minutes run, 2 minutes walk by 5 times is a good place to start.

[Fitness Jam @GetAnimeFit]

I really should get back into racing again since my speed is faster than I have been in 6? Maybe 8 months?

I’m a little heavier than I was though, so I know I can go faster I shed the additional pounds too

[Fitness Jam @GetAnimeFit]

A small thing but I like doing odd numbers for my reps so I can count up and then count down. What I mean by that is if I’m doing 9 reps I count (in my head)

1, 2, 3, 4, 5!!, 4, 3, 2, 1

It’s just a tiny thing I find helps mentally push me that one extra rep

[Fitness Jam @GetAnimeFit]

The above pic is a huge improvement back to my peak in just a couple of weeks after having some less strenuous time abroad. (The heart rate is innacurate tho)

Trust me, everyone can improve. And it feels great.

[Fitness Jam @GetAnimeFit]

Why do I workout?
I want to feel better about my body and who I am.
I am drawn to the thrill of racing alongside others who’ve trained hard.
I love seeing improvements in my times and strength.
I want to BE better
