Farrell's eXtreme Bodyshaping Update #3

I posted back in July that for a challenge, I decided to try a 10 week extreme bodyshaping class. The class was 6 days a week. MWF was kickboxing cardio. TTS was bands weight training.

My stats at the start:

1 mile run: 7:37
1 min pushups: 50
1 min situps : 38
Bodyfat%: 13.8

My stats at the end:

1 mile run: 7:03
1 min pushups: 68
1 min situps : 53
Bodyfat%: 13.2

So I did improve in every category. I thought I could get to 6-7% bodyfat in 10 weeks, but doing that was tougher than I thought. Overall, it has been a positive experience and I will continue to attend the classes through their F.I.T program.

Farrell's eXtreme Bodyshaping Update #1

For a challenge, I decided to try a 10 week extreme bodyshaping class that started on July 20th. The class is 6 days a week, MWF is kickboxing cardio, TTS is bands weight training. Its called "Farrell's eXtreme Bodyshaping". My stats at the start:

1 mile run: 7:37
1 min pushups: 50
1 min situps : 38
Bodyfat%: 13.8

Will have tests again at the 5 week and 10 week points to see how everyone has improved. I am aiming to get my bodyfat to 6-7% by the end of week 10 (Sept 26th). I will update again with my stats at 5 weeks.

Websites

Hello all! For my first blog post on my new blog “Fitness and Finance” I thought I would post a few of what I feel are the best websites I use/reference daily in the world of fitness and finance.

Fitness

T-Nation.com – simply the best site on the Internet for anything related to fitness, weightlifting, nutrition, diets, supplements, etc… If you’re not reading t-nation then you really don’t what you’re doing when it comes to fitness.

Fitday.com – free site for tracking what you eat everyday. What you look like is 80% determined by diet.

Johnberardi.com – simply the man when it comes to nutrition. Some the best articles you will ever read on diet and nutrition are here. John is a regular contributor to T-nation.com.

Finance

Maretocracy.com – a free site where you can start a 1 million dollar virtual mutual fund and see how you do in the market. The top 100 investors on the site determine the stocks that invested in the actual M100 mutual fund. It’s a great learning tool about stock investing.

Yahoo! Finance – great place to simply read about everything in the world of finance.

Investorvillage.com – a free site to read message boards about many different stocks.

I’ll post additional sites as get this blog going over the course of the days/weeks/months. For now, check these sites out!
