April 1st, the day training camp begins. Always loved the idea of spring training just never really acted much on it, as you might guess coming from a former 324lber! Training camp runs from April 1 to June 20. 81 days to get ready to get fit, sounds a bit excessive but I am smart enough and old enough to realize that at 44 you need to build slowly and with a plan if you want to move forward. I'm following an older Outside Magazine article, http://outside.away.com/outside/bodywork/200205/200205shape_of_your_life.html for the next three months. Essentially it is a pretty basic program with interval workouts 3 times a week and strength training twice a week. I'm playing with it a bit to adapt to my issues like a touchy back and adding in getting back on the tennis court and getting in a longer bike ride on the weekends.
The starting numbers are:
weight 243 lbs
chest 45 inches
waist 44 inches
hips 46 inches
By June 20 I plan to have the following numbers.
weight 219
chest 44
waist 39
hips 43
