Getting Fit for Glasto!

[r0cky]

*sigh*

No hills.

[grumpyhack]

I'm putting my efforts into finding really fit people to pull / push the Glastomobile.

Why does nobody ever say this to me?

saucy

[chloesaurus]

I'm working out twice a week at home and once a week at the gym at college (it's free!) in order to get fit for Glasto

Hopefully I might stick with it after Glastonbury as well

Theres been a thread usually every year about everyone who wants to get fit! lol.

Ive had 2 kids sinse 07, so been trying to get myself trimmed for that exsesive walking and dancing im going to be doing. Altho ive only started in the past week..

I dont want to looses weight nesserily, just wanna tone the bum, legs and tum

so anyone joing me?

Ive been drinking 4 pints of water everday,

i walk to work 5 days a week, and thats up hill, about 2 miles there and back each day.

I do a load of sit ups in the morning...just doing 50 at the mo' but hoping to rise it.

Im also lending my mums 'stepper' as of tomorrow so will be doing that of an evening.

enbetween im genrally running after 2 toddlers - so i do burn energy.

sooo is anyone else trying to get fit for glasto?

only about 6 weeks to go insnt there!? ive probably left it too late oh well every little helps!

Are you me? I'm the same, we can be red faced and panting together!

OK...

am now back in Blighty...christ its cold!!! And now am here and not living in a van where the only places to eat every day are Macca's Subway and KFC cos its just easier that way...the big mish now is to try and live on a diet of broccoli, seeds and other yummy veg and not be tempted by take out for the next however many weeks it is until I stuff my face again with lashings of Tartiflette and Pauline Fowler Growler's etc!

Is it doable that is the question? The only major problem to the plan is catching up on the missing of decent cider in my life these past 11 months in Oz! Can weightloss take place...healthy eating ruined by the temptation of proper English Cider in Exeter? Help!

BUT saying that, watched the finale of Australian Biggest Loser just over a week ago and boy that programme is inspiring...I just need the the personal trainer and 6 weeks commando training on Fitzroy Island to get to the similar result of the winner Bob, 57 (he lost half his body weight in 3 months!)

All this and more is totally possible, if you

(a) Don't have a job

( Have a personal trainer

© Have your own qualified nutritionsit

and

(d) Have a heap of motivation, and/or people willing to motivate you...

Seeing as most of us only have (d), and even then, our motivation is of somewhat of a "fair weather" brand...

Not a chance.

You will however, feel and look better if you try, even if only a little.

hey mate,

I work nights, and at first I found it pretty hard eating well. most people get takeaways or get crap from the crisp machine, you have to make the effort -

I personally cook a load of chicken 9in reggae reggae sauce), boil some vegetables, and take them along with 2 baked potatoes + some mixed nuts

Well, thanks to the inspiration on here I went for a lovely 3 hour walk yesterday (have no idea what that is in miles)... best of all I really enjoyed it so hopefully it'll be the health kick I needed

[glastofever]

i have signed up for the gym for a month thought i better put in some extra fitness work to enable me to get round the site.

[morelego]

I did race for life the other day and found that when the crowd cheer you on it really gets you going, even when you feel like you just want to walk the rest.

So, I'm going to get an mp3 of a crowd cheering, add my name in, and run with it in my ears That's gotta work, right?

I've been working out since October to try and be fittre for Glasto. I'm hoping that I will have fewer aches and pains this year as a consequence. It has all been going fine, just going to the gym 2-3 times a week mainly. Although I went swimming in an outdoor pool last week and almost had a heart attack. My vision actually went blurry so my advice would be don't go swimming in an outdoor pool in London in May.

I've got a half marathon the weekend after Glastonbury to train for. I can see at least a couple of minutes being added on to my race time after caning it all weekend at Glastonbury.

Walked from Glasgow City Centre out to Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum today, then afterwards took a different route back into the City Centre again, probably about 4 miles in all in glorious sunshine. Did stop for a meal and a pint on the way back though!

[LusciousLucy]

Hmm...return from Oz and get taken out for dinner at least 3 times already! Diet will commence at some point but not while this keeps happening! Oh and the 10 pints of fresh pressed cider from the National Cider Collection now languishing in my kitchen are not helping either!

Just get your partner to dump you. I've lost 2 stone since December, its great!!!

Obviously there are some fairly huge downfalls to this, but hey, I've lost weight! Always look to the positive

Peace x

Right, have decided to go to the gym every other day (instead of 3 times a week) in the run-up to Glasto.

I'm starting to notice the effects of my get fit campaign now!
