31/08/15 - Back to it

Got back to walking this morning. I got up at 5:30am and walked the dog for 34:25 minutes, we walked 1.4 miles and climbed 470ft.

My weigh in wasnt too bad either as I haven´t really worked out for 3 weeks and I only put on 1kg. I was 93.6kgs this morning.

Tomorrow I am going to walk with the weight vest on and also start doing the following bodyweight workout when I get back:

Squats x 30
Pressups x 30
Stepups x 30
Crunches x 30
Wall squats x 1 minute
Back extensions x 30
Lunges x 30
Dips x 30
Calf raises x 30

I plan to do this workout 5 days a week for the next 15 weeks to see how much weight I loose.

On Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings starting next week I am going to do the following jump training workouts:

Skipping 2 x 2 minutes
squat jumps 2 x 20
lateral line jumps 2 x 30
lunge jumps 2 x 20
Box jumps 2 x 20
Tuck Jumps 2 x 20
4 corners 2 x 20

19/08/15 - Slack Week

Have had a really slack week on the basketball/exercise front. The only exercise I have done this week is 2 hours of basktball last night.

O a positive note I have dropped 0.5kgs from last week to 92.0kgs this morning.

16/08/15 - Game

Had a game this morning. Played OK although I didn't score again! Took 3 shots and they all were in and outs!

My defense was good though and I managed to play 35 minutes no problems. My defense was good I caused 12 turnovers  with a stretch of 6 possesions in a row where their point guard turned over the ball. I also got about 10 assists so not all bad.

15/08/15 - Long Walk

Got up and took the dog for a long walk. We walked for 1 hour and 5 minutes and we covered 3 miles and climbed 812ft.

I am going to play basketball later this afternoon with the guys from town then I am going to go to the next town and play in the evening.

12/08/15 - rest day

Got home from basketball really late last night so slept in this morning. Had a really good practice last night had 2 hours of full court runs.

Weighted in this morning and I lost half a kg yesterday.

I plan to take the dog for a walk this afternoon to make up for the lack of exercise this morning.

11/08/15 - Back to it part 2

After nearly a week of not doing much I got back to walking the dog and basketball training.

Last week I only managed to wake up early and walk the dog on monday and tuesday morning and I also played basketball on tuesday, thursday and saturday only!!

Because of the lack of training I managed to put on 2.5kgs in a week!!!

This morning I got up at 5:30 and walked the dog for 32.12 minutes and walked 1.3 miles and climbed 451 feet. I then got to the club when it opened at 7am and did the following drills:

Make 20 freethrows.
Left elbow Catch and shoot 3 pointers make 10 off of bounce.
Left elbow Catch and fake shoot 3 pointer, dribble to elbow and make 10 pullup jumpers.
Left elbow Catch and fake shoot 3 pointer, dribble to elbow and make 10 floaters jumpers.
Left elbow Catch and fake shoot 3 pointer, fake drive, dribble left and and make 10 pullup jumpers.
Make 30 freethrows.

Feeling much better after getting back training.

We have a basketball championship in the next town on sunday so this week I will work on the 3 areas that I shoot mostly (Left elbow, middle Right elbow). working one area a day until saturday and sunday mornings where I will train all 3 areas.

I will also work my defensive footwork as we will have to play man-to-man defense this weekend as we only have 7 players and all are under 6ft so I plan to play an up tempo style of play similar to the grimmel system as it is the only way that we will be competative against the bigger teams who will play slower and force the ball into the bigs down low.

03/08/15 - back to it!

After a week of doing almost nothing I started back training this morning. I got up at 5:30 and walked the dog. We walked for 34.38 minutes, walked 1.4 miles and climbed 480ft.
