Targeting Weakness
Got to the studio early today becasue I wanted to get a little cardio in before we started our workout at five. Todd had a pair of ladies working out in the time slot before my usual one and asked if I wanted to join so I thought, "what the hell, I'll double-up today". It was probably the best thing I could have done as the regiment he put them through was far different than anything that we were doing; hey, all the better to work different areas of the body. Besides, that's why I'm writing this blog anyways, so learn everything about Fitness 360 and experience it all.
We finished our session and before I started my five o'clock group Todd spent some time working with me on my "problem areas" and what I should work on and how we could tailor specific workouts for me. One thing that we looked at was that I was currently around 225 pounds, easily the heaviest I've ever been. Knowing Todd's knowledge of diets and nutrition we talked about various reasons why I was so
heavy but still managing to preform all the drills above average, jump well and run well. He surmised that I was carrying way too much weight in my torso and chest area and that toning that up by increasing muscle mass would therefore beging to burn away some of that fat.
During this past summer I had gotten done to a weight of 200 even, mostly thanks to weekends on the Delta wakeboarding and walking the golf courses and weekdays running up to 10 miles at a time. We agreed some of it was a dietary issue but also a cardio and workout thing that we would continue to look at. Todd thought that a weight of 205 to 210 would be perfect for my frame and where I already was with athletics.
