The grand plan

"The main objective for the next few weeks is to increase my general fitness, start to get 'running miles' in my legs and begin to lose weight. I think the trainer has rather a lot to do on all of the above!"

The program:
3 x 4 mile runs per week
1 x 6-8 mile run per week
1 x 30 min swimming session, to help to regulate my breathing.

"I have also got to try and do a gym session, this should include:
1. Legs weights, designed to strengthen and tone my legs, concentrating on the hamstrings Quads and glutas maximus.
2. Light weights, doing stationary lunges and free squats.
3. Upper body work to strengthen the back and develop the correct posture ideal for running.

"I am in dire need of some ab (abdomen) work, so I am currently doing sit-ups and side sit-ups.

"All of the above should be done with my chest out, back straight and stomach tight; and with lots of stretching concentrating on the upper back, the calves, the hamstring, the lower back to name a few.

"As you can see I am being put through my idea of torture!"
