My accountability???
I fought last in 2018 at 96 kg....right now I'm 103 and feeling like a fat unmotivated j**k
I'm hoping we can all contribute and just keep it alive to motivate each other, track progress, post workouts, etc.
Lil tigers fitness community.
Get us all on the right path, fighting the good fight.
Hows your diet and nutrition bra?
Got respect for any one that gets in the ring.
I'm a life long boxing fan.
diet and nutrition could be a lot better...it was good leading up to my fight then once I had it I continued training for a while but diet slipped badly. Could never get it back. Shift work and commitments for the kids made excuses easy.
Looked in the mirror and was fairly unimpressed with what I saw. Missus had an anniversary reminder come up on her facebook and she mentioned "geez how fit were you!!" and that summed my slide up.
Now I'm back into training and trying to get my diet and nutrition sorted. Training is the easy part, it's the food I struggle with. Any and all advice is welcome from me.
Boxing is the best!!! One of my mates runs the Sydney Fight League and I'm now always at the fights.....one coming up at Paddington RSL and I can't wait!!!
Man, shift worker here too.
Its a struggle but at least you're putting in the effort.
Diet is always the hard part hey.
I'm enjoying the intermittent fasting and keeping the meal clean as possible and noticing improvement.
My brother is a bodybuilder and did the stage posing stuff a few years back but he works long hours these days and has fallen off track but is back into harder than ever this year.
Today i said....i dont look at the numbers on the scales and just go off by how i look.
One of his trainers is a lady in her 40s who use to be on that 6am aerobics show... he said she says the same thing ?
I just wanna look good and feel good as i get older and I'm about this life.
Speaking of boxing just saw our boy George kombosos is 1 fight away from sealing a deal with Loma. Topix for another thread but massive for him but Loma is the best l ol.
How old are you punk ?
?
I turned 30 last September.
Need to get good practices in place now and get the body optimal for the likely incoming health issues and hormonal issues that come with age.

Agree with Hobbo - you're still a pup mate!
But certainly agree that a good active programme will not only hold you in good stead but in fact becomes mandatory if you want to keep a good lifestyle later on.
I'm starting to stare down the barrel of 60... have always been pretty active and naturally lean, but realised about 5 years ago that I was seriously losing strength, having more and more back issues and struggling to play sports. So I included a home gym into our reno' we were doing at the time, put in a smith machine and some other stuff. I like the old school weight routines. Keep in mind that this is for strength, not for body building (a bit difficult at my age!) so I could maintain the active lifestyle.
Agree it can be difficult to keep motivated at home, but I've done the gym member thing as well and for me, I definitely do more with it being accessible all hours.
There is no way I would still be playing sport (have been playing full field soccer the last 15 years or so) had I not set this up. I'm almost at the end of being able to play as major stuff is wearing out and the body can't do what the mind remembers, but I still enjoy the team aspect, we have a couple of grades so I'm not an embarrassment on the field, and it's a great group and good social outlet. There is no doubt that you playing keeps you fit, which I think is the most important aspect in having a healthy lifestyle.
In saying that, it can certainly be easier to stay off the routine rather than get back into it when certain factors disrupt the workouts. The most recent one for me was a broken rib back in September, then an overseas trip and before you know it you've had another month off!
Over the weekend I gave the gym a major spring clean, and hit it for a solid session yesterday - time to get back into the groove for a solid pre-season!
Man. Id love to see your home gym.
Can u post pics?
Ive put one together myself but need a few more items until I'm content.
A smith machine? Must have some space.
