Burn Fat Increase Definition

Welcome to 5.14 Fitness,


Last post a wrote about a ideas on how to loose weight, however todays post is linked to this very closely and will give you a routine that I have been working on that you can follow. As well as this I will provide reasons why these will help and what ones to go for depending on what you are trying to aim for.


Weight loss- Flat Belly


So I have been told my posts have not been that relatable for the average woman that is just trying to loose a few pounds or gain a few curves- fair enough, well here is the routine for you, but guys do not feel put off this workout can will help you as well. These are guidelines and reps are always shown as the highest and lowest recommended amounts. This routine should be completed everyday for at least a month and to see the best results three months.


  • Jogging 1-5 mile- every day.
  • Sit ups (5 sets of 10-25 reps)
  • Press-ups either (3 sets of 3-20 full ones) or (3 sets of 5-30 half press-ups)
  • Star jumps (3 sets of 10-30)
  • Squats (3 sets of 5-25)
  • High Knees (1 set of 30secs-2mins)
  • Step ups (3 sets of 25-50)
  • Stretching to be performed in morning and before sleep
This workout is absolutely great for losing fat, it is packed with cardio and low rep activities that will get better definition rather than building new muscles. It will also increase stamina and general movement towards performing in sport. DO NOT FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE TO DO THESE EXERCISES ONE AFTER ANOTHER, they should be completed everyday but allow your self a break between exercises or if you do not have time just do it later no problem. Aim for about 30 seconds rest maximum between sets as they will provide best results.


Half press-ups are ones performed whilst on your knees, if you have not done press-ups before or simply cannot do them (it can take time) this is a great way to start working up to the full ones and giving you and idea of form and how to do them. These are the best way to get rid of the dreaded bingo wings, which so many are paranoid about, as they are low rep lots of sets so breaking down the fat in the target area.
 For the jogging, if you cannot do this for weather, it hurts or whatever reason try to find a substitute for this such as swimming (a third of normal distance) or cycling (three times normal distance).
The sit-ups will be more on burning belly rather than building abdominals, it will target the bulging gut rather than getting you those six pack abs, as the routine is too low sets and reps, you probably can still get there it will just take a lot longer and you are working your way through fat primarily instead of pushing muscle through.
The leg exercises will also burn fat in the leg area as well as helping with definition and giving you the desired curves for the ladies. This will be targeting all the loose skin that collects at the back of the legs and helping to tighten it out. 


Do not rush straight through the rep levels, continue on the low reps for a while before you even consider to add more in, make sure you have it mastered and are finding it easy, after all this is not a routine for muscle building which will add to size and weight- not what we want here!


Hope this helps, please read again, thanks for reading, please do all the usual stuff and check out other posts etc.  all following is returned- work hard and peace!

New arm muscle builder (basic)

Welcome to 5.14 Fitness,




Today I shall be sharing one of the new workouts I have designed, this one in particular will be focusing on arms primarily but also a bit on chest.
Similar to the General Ab Workout, it is a workout that focuses on all types of goals; therefore improving all: definition, strength and endurance on the particular body parts- arms and chest.
It is a pyramid workout- one where you start off with low reps and gradually build up-, this type of work out I found excellent for improving results and strengthening muscles, so all those who want to put on size listen up.
I would recommend  performing the routine at least every other day in order to achieve any real results, it is not particularly long; it will last roughly 10 minutes so it is not asking for too much attention. It requires no equipment other than a place to do tricep dips from. Complete at a maximum intensity with 25seconds rest between sets.




Overall Arm Builder:


Set 1
  • press-ups 15 reps
  • tricep dips 15 reps
  • leg curls right 15 reps
  • leg curls left 15 reps
  • triangle centred press-ups 15 reps
rest


Set 2
  • press-ups 20 reps
  • tricep dips 20 reps
  • leg curls right 20 reps
  • leg curls left 20 reps
  • triangle centred press-ups 20 reps
rest


Set 3
  • press-ups 25 reps
  • tricep dips 25 reps
  • leg curls right 25 reps
  • leg curls left 25 reps
  • triangle centred press-ups 25 reps
rest


I will experiment and get others to try this out with different variations before I post a more detailed and advanced version of this workout along this the levels of experience.


Thanks for reading, expect more posts soon, please read again and do all the stuff, you know what it is by now (if your new check out older posts)- train hard and peace!

New Routine

Welcome to 5.14 Fitness,


After reviewing my progress and goals, I have decided to change my objectives, consequently affecting the way I exercise. To cut a long story short I am planning a winter scheme, where I will concentrate less on a healthy diet and more on eating loads and exercising loads to gain size for the new season.
 So expect a full walkthrough soon, as well as more posts. Also be sure to check out the new page I added the other day. Do you guys want to hear more back to basics stuff or more exercises and routines, tell me in comments or contact me. Thanks for reading, work hard, comment, subscribe, vote, contact me and peace!

Diary of my achievemets (catch up session)

Welcome to 5.14 Fitness,


Diary day post:


Okay, I have not posted in a few days, because I have had internet problems over the last few days- not that I could not be bothered! I have kept exercising, I have been doing the 5 minute fat burner which has been working, however I have not been getting the definition that I want so I will try out other workouts to see what works best. Arms, I have to admit 50 push-ups, 25 centred push-ups and 50 triceps dips is not a lot (especially if you are trying to improve size). I will start to push my self harder in this area in a hope to start getting results faster. As for eating I have been letting myself down a little with, a diet too high in sugars this will has now ended and I will think more carefully on what I shall eat and when I shall eat (you should aim for every 3-4 hours). I am hoping to go gym tomorrow and I shall inform you on how I got on. Legs will be a big priority with me not having the time to jog anymore I would like to enhance that area of my fitness.


So that is my plans, another post to come soon, all the normal stuff- peace!

sorry in need of another days rest

Welcome to 5.14 Fitness


I woke this morning and my body ached from head to toe, and after a full day of school and badminton training I am well and truly shattered. I am going to have to apologise for not exercising as I know I need to back into the swing of things, but I feel as if I need another days worth of recovery. This is in order to do everything that I need to do tomorrow and be able to push myself harder. Rather than doing a half arsed workout now and as my body will still be tired another half arsed one tomorrow.
If you are suffering from serious fatigue and feel that all your body needs is sleep, you are probably right it does and that is the best thing you can do for it in that situation.


Once again I apologise; I should be fine for tomorrow though, so do all the usual stuff and peace!

End of holiday; back to normal, back to routine!

Welcome back to 5.14 fitness,


This is going to be a short post this morning, but I will make sure I add some more stuff throughout the day so make sure you keep following! I know it has been a long time since I last posted but been having problems with dodgy internet connection and all (you know how it is), but the good news is I am now back from holiday and I can now really push myself harder to get the results and keep to a set routine. So what is to come over the next few weeks: well I am will (eventually) put up some pictures, renew my goals and see where I am at, explore and demonstrate new methods and workouts as well as improving the blog and responding to your comments and issues. As I said not a long post, but more will follow.


Thanks for reading; remember +1 everything, comment and follow, eat clean and work hard- peace!
