Hello all

 

Feedback appreciated from people who have trained in the past, trainers, or pretty much anyone

 

I will be going for a month to train in Dec/Jan and have put down a proposed plan of action as I want to try and lose 12kg in the month I'm there. I know it's ambitious but knowing my body I think it's possible IF I stick to a good diet as I currently maintain my weight (overweight) but have the worst diet of anyone out there (junk food every meal)

 

In the past I've managed to lose large amounts of weight by being disciplined. I lost 40kg in a year (120kg down to 80kg) but that was 7 years ago, when I was younger and my metabolism still worked

 

 

 

Anyway I'm 33 now and have managed to get back up to 103kg. The plan is to try and get to 97kg before I arrive at TMT (in 1 month) and try to drop a further 12kg in the time I'm there, to get down to 85kg which I'd be very happy with. I have managed to quit smoking 1 month ago today  so that should help with my fitness levels, and I plan on starting a better eating plan as of today, I pretty much know what I should be doing as far as nutrition, it's more a question of actually doing it *fingers crossed*

 

I plan to do the following at TMT and was curious if this is realistic or if I'm pushing myself too hard OR not pushing myself hard enough?

 

I have a couple of nagging injuries to my shoulders/lower back and ankles (just to spread it out from top to bottom)  but I'm still very capable of training, I just have to be careful to listen to my body when it's time to give it a rest

 

 

This is the plan

 

7am-7:30am Yoga (mon-sat)

7:30am-8am running class (mon-sat)

8am-9am Bootcamp (mon-fri)

 

(2 hrs training)


Shower/change

 

9:30am - 10am Breakfast at Tiger Gym (mon-sat)

 

10am - 10:30am - Weight training (mon-sat)

(1/2 hr training)


Shower/change


11am - 1pm - Free time (MTL - Massage/Tan/Laundry) (mon-sat)

*protein snack 12:30pm

 

1pm-2:15pm private class (mon-sat)
(1hr training)


Shower/change


3:00pm - 3:30pm Lunch at Tiger Gym (mon-sat)


3:30pm-4pm - light walk (mon-sat)
(1/2 hr training)

 

4pm-5pm Technique class (mon-sat)

5pm-6:30pm Muy Thai (mon-sat)

(2.5hrs training)


7pm Light Dinner outside

8pm massage

9-10pm Bedtime

 

Sunday - No training (sight seeing/shopping/bike ride)

 

Total training time Mon - Sat = 6.5hrs/day

 

 

Any thoughts/feedback would be appreciated

Alan that looks like a pretty intense schedule, but it is possible. We have been having some real successes here lately with weight loss. I would recommend a consultation with Peter the Thai hulk when you first arrive. He can recommend a proper diet for your goals and to sustain your training regimen. He can also advise on what supplements to take. Right off the bat I would say take L carnitine, green tea extract and CLA to naturally speed up your metabolism. You will want a glutamine and branch chain amino acid supplement to help your body recover. of course a protein and multi vitamin are essential.

I would ease into training. Start with Yoga and Bodyfit and one afternoon session. As your fitness level increases you can gradually add in another session. Personally I think that training three times a day is enough. Four is overkill in my opinion. Start with two sessions then add in more if you feel comfortable. 

See you next month

Thanks Will that's some very helpful advice...you must be the Will by friend Nusreen told me about?

 

I will (no pun intended) take your advice on those supplements and since I've pre-paid for the private sessions I might use the majority of them to train with Peter instead of doing Muy Thai privates as I had planned..and I'll just leave the Muy Thai for the group sessions since I'm not a fighter and really just wanted to get maximum weight loss results

 

I'm assuming those supplements would be available at camp? And if not someone could point me in the right direction to getting them?

 

Every day feels like a week...I've been wanting to do this for a long time...

Yes probably. I remember her, Nusreen Isp. 

You can pick up the protein powder here. All the other stuff is available locally.
I can give you directions when you get here.

Your plan sounds good. You will get a lot out of the group sessions. They are intense and grueling.

See you soon.
