Some time back I got off my back side, off the computer and started training. It was important to work out what it was I was trying to gain from this exercise – was it getting bigger (physically), stronger, fitter, look better or something else? Like so many people out there, I liked the idea of joining a gym but the on-going cost, would I keep it up, would I feel a bit stupid (and weak) in a gym that only housed muscle heads? I had a good space in my garage, I had a set of loose weights and if you kept up with my posts – a PunchBag and various other parts of equipment. Did I steer from my path? Did I reach any of my goals, was this training paying off?

Goodbye Skype
I thought I would take a break from Tech for this one post and go through some changes of late, some good, some bad and as always “Everything changes” as they say. The Blog is going well, I am looking forward to my first cheque from Google Adsense (which only took me three years to hit the required minimum of £60) – money for nothing right? I do hate adverts and I hate having them on here but they are required evil to keep the site going – Sorry…
Taekwondo – the first two Lessons
I had my first two lessons of Taekwondo on Monday and Tuesday and thought it would be a good idea to write up how it went in case anyone else was thinking of starting something but not sure what might happen on them first few lessons. At the moment the place were I train does not force you to join straight away and you can just pay your fee per night (£3) fora 2 hour lesson and if you do not enjoy it – no commitment to yourself. Let us begin then with how it all went.
June 2010 – word up.
First for all the people that follow my blog, I would like to say sorry for the lack of posts of late, while I could have just re-posted news stories from other sources, I would prefer to write my own stuff if I can. As we move forward into Summer 2010, I have a feeling that people are moving away from there computers and back to the outside world and many have started to get fit, me included. The purpose of this post is to keep anybody who is wondering updated on my latest goings-on – enjoy…
Training – Still on-going
While I spent every waking hour training in the British Army, it has been some years now since I did any sort of work out and it was apparent by my skinny body and skinny arms – but this changed one day, it was time to get fit and get bigger (and stronger). It is all too easy to put this off, after all would you rather be sitting in front of the TV or a computer then pounding the streets or chucking weights around for hours at a time right? This is my story (so far) of how I aim to get fitter without spending lots of money on gym’s and the like.
