Week 18: Hrrmph. A Change Again

My friend Zedy looks really slim now – as compared to his hurly-burly days – and a big part of it comes from eating less and training for a marathon. Man, I’d never thought he’d go for it.

But when he’s committed; he’s committed to it. On 11 June, he’ll run up the stairs of a really tall building in a vertical marathon. For most of us, walking up the overhead bridge is a chore. Now he’s running up 80++ flights of stairs.

Fwah.

That got me thinking about my own exercise routines. I still want to get massive and strong (I’ve increased my pull ups at bodyweight: 90kg). But I want better full-body exercises. So I’ve taken to running around a track and doing pull ups every 1 km; stair walking with weights; and varying my Push Up routines.

Hope it works and here we go.
