The 2014 Glasto Get Fit Thread

Royal Navy fitness training program is not too difficult.

Haha, you're not wrong. From my time in the RN it was embarrassing to see the fitness level of the majority of matelots.

Not sure on the 16 hours fasting and exercise; your body needs fuel to train, not good otherwise. That doesn't mean a Big Mac and fries though. Sensible eating, sensible exercise; the way ahead

i train ridiculously better fasted. i feel horrible when i train on a full / partially full stomach - especially when doing stuff that tenses the stomach such as ab exercises. but i guess it's different for everybody! good to try things out and see what works for you

If it works for you, great. For me, I need to fuel around 2 hours before any exercise, something light mind you, not a full on dinner.

Got back from Tunisia last Wednesday. It was all inclusive, the food was excellent and the Africa Cup of Nations was on while I was there so the free beer got a pasting.

Back to my regular healthy eating this morning and back at the gym tonight. Come at me February, I'm gonna knock you the fuck out..

Current Motivation 10/10

[asfaltsblomma]

First day trying fasting and I'm pretty hungry but not so hungry that I can't wait until lunch. Should be interesting to see how I feel at the gym after work.

Somewhere between 1 and 2 lbs down this week, but as I'm not about to go on the space shuttle and it sounds better, I'm going with 2lbs! Can't be doing with fractional lbs!

Had a massive blowout at the weekend too, so I'm happy just to lose!

10lb down in total! Keep plugging away everyone!

You can lose 2lb down a longdrop! ;-)

[asfaltsblomma]

New week check in How is everyone doing?

I accidentally signed up for a boxing class while drunk on saturday so yeah.. not my best week. Still losing pretty steadily though.

[The_Amazing_Oblong]

Weighed myself this morning.

Start Weight - 197.2lbs

Current Weight - 190.2lbs

So I lost 7lbs last week. (Think this is due to it being the first week back, looking to lose around 1-2lbs per week normally)

Managed to make the gym every day and have stuck to my eating plan 100%.

Current motivation - 10/10

[dj_tim]

I've lost a stone since 5th January. Just dieting so far, sticking to around 1200-1300 calories per day. I want to introduce some exercise soon to help combat the usual plateau I experience around the 2 stone mark. Hoping to lose another 3 stone by the festival. Keep up the good work everyone!

Spent last week scuba diving in Raja Ampat, eating fresh healthy food, so feeling ready to hit the 'get fit for Glasto' schedule

Thats the legs shattered, now need to find an arm workout lol

[cornish hick]

Amazing secret set gets announced at the Park in 15 mins.... you want to get there in time?

[asfaltsblomma]

Excellent motivation I think!

Just not wanting to die a little bit when you have to put on your wellies in the morning is motivation for me.

[Andeeroo]

Another 2lb down this week, taking my total up to 12lb in 4 and a half weeks. Happy enough with that!

Hope everyone's keeping the willpower going

[Kellg80]

6kg lost in just over a month

[asfaltsblomma]

I signed away my life for 6 months yesterday. First PT-session on tuesday

Feeling plenty motivated though.

[dj_tim]

Another 2.5 lb gone, taking my total to 16.5. Not drinking this weekend definitely helped!

[MrPink]

Starting the insanity workout tonight with the better half. Wish us luck.

[asfaltsblomma]

Good job dj_tim!

I had my last drink until april on friday, hoping for better results

MrPink. I'm not even a little bit jealous Good luck!

[Pbird81]

So, to someone who actually knows about this - what sort of exercise is actually good for Glastonbury - I've been assuming stamina is important.... but I know very little.

[thurlow84]

I really need to get started, just had a lot on and not found time yet. Have been eating less, but that wont do much for me, i need to eat better and exercise
