Current stats 5'4" 171lbs 25 years old BMI 31.1% Current Fitness Goals The most important is that I aim to improve my quality of life Bring BMI down to 23% with in 1 year Increase strength to improve my abiulitie to do things like areal and hiking Increase stamina, I would like to be able to jog 5 miles with out stoping or having an asthma attack with in one year Improve flexibiltie, maybe one day I will be able to do a split Today I did areal for the first time in over two months, and lyra for the first time. I did a total of two hours, about split between the two. Im sure that two hours was a bit of over kill but I work out with a friend and we split time, spotting each other as we work on the fabric or hoop so its more like an hour tiem total plus time spent warming up and stretching. If you have no idea what I am talking about yous hould look up areal and lyra, they are both fantastic forms of excersize and a lot of fun. Areal is the silk fabric acrobats you see in ciquise de sole, and lyra is the metal hanging hoop. You do acrobat type stuff with each one and they both take a lot of core to keep your movements controled, you use a lot of back and arms to pull your self or support your weight well getting in and out of positions or "tricks" and legs to climb, support your weight both well going up the fabric, getting in to positions and well in leg/foot/hip locks and doing drops or hanging up side down. Its an amazing all over work out but as much fun as it is you have to do a lot of working out to get your muslces to be able to support your weight well doing these things. that was a bit more then I planed on tryping any way its all a lot of fun!!!! Tomorrow i have strength training ar 7 am, wooo. I am not a morning person so im not really looking forward to getting up at 6:45, Im also going to try and get to the gym at least once between thursday and saturday for the mundaine cardio routine.
