GOT Fitness LOG

I roast a large chicken every sunday and that does me for lunch(chicken salad) for the next 6 days. For evening meals I tend to go with:-

Turkey mince/mixed with onions/chillies/courgettes/peppers/garlic.
Baked salmon with pak choy and tomatoes
Quinoa/beetroot/broccoli/+ grilled lean lamb steak

At weekends I push the boat out and have a rib-eye steak with baked sweet potato

Breakfasts are usually poached eggs on rye bread with asparagus or porridge with a banana and blueberries.

Loads of water throughout the day, and if I do fancy a snack I go for nuts, or toasted rye bread slice with organic peanut butter.

I used to do the same with whole chickens but got a bit bored of them. No doubting the economy of it though, I'll have to start doing that again.

Cheers mate, some stuff I'll definitely make use of there.

I'm liking quinoa these days, good instead of rice or pasta

Went earlier for a couple of hours, tiring. Had a few games of squash when we were there, I've got a talent for that not even joking.

Started up again ready for the summer. DW Fitness, L1 or the one in the Radisson? Which one?

My sister told me about that stuff but I couldn't find it anywhere. I suppose you have to go to some sort of health shop for it or something?

 

[Spencer]

You can get Quinoa in Tesco, in the free from aisle. I have the stuff everyday as my pre-workout carbs.

 

[Maxwell]

Yeh quinoa is ace. I'll have that or some bulgar wheat as my carbs.

Oh FFS, I've always avoided that isle as I thought it'd be no use to me

Cheers mate.

I need advice here lads. DW Fitness is a mission away from Huyton tho but its probably the best gym out of them. Don't drive so I'd need to get public transport. Do I jog to the bus stop and get the bus (i'll be on that for around 40mins I imagine then jog back home) or do I get a bus which stops right outside my house and go to L1. I wasn't that impressed with L1 tbh.

If it was me I'd go the one nearest as you're more likely to go. Then if you get to the level where you need more and better equipment then leave and go to the better gym, if that's further away. No way I'd ever go the gym if it was a 40 min bus ride away personally.

My mate used to go to L1 and said they always ran out of weight plates. They've got something pathetic like 200kg of plates in the whole gym.

EDIT: Just realised that doesn't really help. Haha. To be honest though if you're only getting back in to it then the lack of plates shouldn't be too much of an issue.

think I might just do that mate. Hopefully pass my driving lesson by August and then I will be able to step up to higher weights. That DW Fitness looks boss though. It looks huge with a lot of equipment. I'm going to keep an eye out for a gym buddy who can drive and i'll try and persuade him to go to DW.

Anyone ever been the Radisson gym?

I suppose it's in the same isle in Asda as Tesco which I've never ventured down.

Tomorrow.

My gym is literally a 2 minute drive from my house and I can park right outside. That really helps me to go.

Is there no other little independent gyms around where you live? Those gyms are sometimes the best tbh.

My sister is doing a PHD in Kinesiology and has given me a list of a load of foods which are high in protein and just generally good stuff. Only found half of them and I'd been especially ruing the lack of quinoa.
