From early February to now I’ve been skating consistently since I joined Substance Skate park. I think it’ll help, and I will improve by summer. For years I did not skate much in winter so how much I’ll improve by is a guess. But I want to get good. On a bad note somehow I stopped the weighted jump rope routine. In late January I started cigarettes again, and lost some drive. But I quit cigarettes for over a week now, and I need to carry on with my goals.
The main goal is to be fit, and at least a flat stomach if not abs showing by summer. The weighted jump rope and speed trick jump rope helped with upper body strength. I think I’ll aim to do that 2 to 3 times a week. I will try for 5 sets with the weighted jump rope. If I average 60 reps that’s over 300 reps total. And then I’ll do 3 sets each of 5 different trick jumps with the speed jump rope. That was my routine before I stopped in late January.
To lose weight and belly fat I think I need more aerobic, so I plan to jog/run again. In mid February my sister and her family visited NYC and stayed in Harlem. On that Sunday morning we jogged looking for bakery, most were closed on Sunday mornings. Anyway I could do it. So today I jogged on the boardwalk for 15 minutes. That is not bad for the first time doing it. Now the weather is starting to get good I should be able to get in 3 jogging sessions in a week. My goal will be to get to 30 minutes, and then simply go faster. If I get to 30 minutes at around 3 miles working up to 4 plus miles in 30 minutes might be better than trying to go longer.
My goal is to be active, be in shape, and to skateboard better. So all this workout stuff I need to be able to wake up in the morning to do them. After work most days should be for skating. The days are longer starting today, and weather should be getting better. For my indoor park membership it’s $120 a month. A day pass is $20. So I need to go at least 6 times a month for it to be worth it. In summer I’ll try to skate outside mostly, but there will be times when it rains, and on Thursdays I don’t get out of work until 8 pm
I’ve made a lot of fitness plans over the years, but I’m optimistic this one will work.
