Men on a Mission - Over 250, Looking to Drop 50

My primary form of exercise is playing racquetball 3 - 5 times a week. I also use the treadmill & elliptical during which I'll listen to a playlist on my ipod. I also just started with a new program called Lolo beatburn which is an intervals form of training on the treadmill or outdoors. It has an included playlist or it can also use your playlist. The app will automatically speed up or slow down any song to the rhythm or pace at which you are walking or running. There is also a voice that instructs you as you go. So far am loving this loving this app. 45 minutes goes by so quick compared to a single pace on the treadmill. Also read an article about a research in which people doing high intensity interval training lost on average 3 times the weight during a shorter exercise session over the course if 6 months.

I have to be distracted. My gym has TV's on all of the carido machines, so I channel surf most of the time. While I'm doing resistance training, I'll plug into the IPOD.

I forgot the topic of the week! What do you men do to motivate you during exercise? Do you listen to a certain type of music? Watch a certain TV show?

The motivation I use is basically music that's up beat and sounds like that a boxer may train with. I also start my warm-up and stretching with the audio from the opening scene of Ali (with Will Smith). So the music would be classified as fight music.

And I am trying to post a little bit better. I weighed today and here are the results.........

Didn't see this one coming. But I will just have to work harder next week and get the train moving again. Definitely not embarrassed to have gained weight its just another bump in the road in my fitness journey. I am on Day 40 something of P90X and loving it. I go and walk trails every weekend with the family and love it. Going to the Zoo today to go wrestle with my favorite animal the Lion.

Have a Blessed Weekend guys!

That's right I've gotten rid of 6lbs this week. I'm kinda pumped......

Wow, that's what you call making progress. Great job. Over here the results are less impressive, but still satisfying. LWW was 118.5 and this rainy sundaymorning in Holland 117.8 kg. Now off to some birthday parties (2 on one day) and then, this sunday afternoon watching the 'classic', football (soccer) match PSV Eindhoven - AJAX Amsterdam in front of my bigscreeen. What more can a man wish for

Must be the week for movement...
I've shifted a little too after weeks being static. This week 139kg.
Keep it up guys

Today's weigh-in: 234.2. Up 0.2 from last week.
