Welcome to 5.14 Fitness,
I have just got back from an all day kayaking trip, 8 miles (12.8 km) upstream- so it was hard work to fight against the current! It was preparation for my kayaking expedition which will be 26 miles (equal to a marathon) that I will start not this Saturday but the one after and finish on that Sunday evening, hopefully!
So time for some information...

Muscle size- in realation to fat
Welcome to 5.14 Fitness,
Okay guys, today I will be writing about a subject on which there is much confusion and a topic in which I have been asked a tone of questions on.
So does having big arms mean you will be stronger with someone who also works out just with smaller arms?
Here is the little introduction behind this post, so today I have been hanging out at my buddies gym and we were talking...

Drinking
Welcome to 5.14 Fitness,
Today I will walk you through what you should drink as well as what you should avoid. Everyone knows about healthy eating, but not so many people think about what are the right substances to be drinking.
Most people know that drinking alcohol is not something you should do before exercise as it will decrease your sporting performance. This is because it effects your balance,...

Emotions
Welcome to 5.14 Fitness, I am going to start off with something quite serious, the reason I did not post the other day was because I was visiting a close friend of mine who has just been diagnosed with cancer. This is obviously a very bad situation, however later that day I was able to use this emotion to push my self harder and increase the intensity of my workouts. This makes exercising...

Intensity week (kinda)
Wassup 5.14 Fitness,Another quick progress check for a post today, sorry to disappoint but I will be back from France by next week so yeah... I have a confession today I did over sleep, which is not good as it makes your body gain weight a you are hardly burning any calories! But after a slow start I hit arms heavy with more weight work and heavy rep lighting. This was followed by archery, which...

Intensity week
Hey 5.14 Fitness,Just another progress check I am afraid! Today I am generally feeling quite tired with waves of energy surging on occasion. After completing an 8km kayaking route along France's coldest river ( a great way to burn fat and strengthen arms ), I did some heavy rep lighting o the light weights (5kg), before ending my day with my normal ab routine! However, I have to say I have not been...

Intensity week
Hey 5.14 Fitness,Another tiring day at the villa, after a day of walking, swimming, weight training and about to finish with some ab work and stretching. I will need a good night sleep as I will require all my energy for the canoeing and workouts planed for tomorrow. I still think I am progressing well as my abs have gained some finer definition and my arms are finally putting on some size....

Meat
Hey 5.14 Fitness, Another quick post this time on the topic of meats, just watched an awesome documentary on this subject: 'Horizon!'But first a bit about my progress, not such an intense day to day but again lots of walking, heavy ab workout and lifting and man am I loving the results. Finally seeing my arms take some shape ( I know I promised photos for Friday but I really don't have the equipment...

Hey 5.144 Fitness,Just hit a pretty hardcore cardio then a bit of lightweight lifting followed by my general ab workout and about to do the V line one. Gonna have to be quick because I am running out of charge, if I cannot post today I will tomorrow!

Walking
Hi 5.14 FitnessQuick post on something that you might not have considered to be a good form of exercise. Yep, walking ( particularly up hills ) is a great way to burn calories and by burning calories using up the stored fat. Consequently helping with weight loss an muscle definition, if you have walked far enough it is also a real calf burner; adding size and definition. So yesterday I climbed...

Hi 5.14 Fitness,Just avert quick post as I am about to run out of charge! I will definitely post a new information page preview and I will also workout when ever I find and opportunity. Talking about my progress, I cannot say there has been loads of it since France, however the hot weather is dehydrating...
Poitier
Sup 5.14 Fitness, Once again spent all day travelling through the French country, over 5 hours constant in a car- not my cup of tea! Hardly had time to exercise as I was always busy, but I did lug the 28kg suit case across a car park on up and down a flight of stairs- TWICE! Really shattered and...
Rouen
Hi 5.14 Fitness,
Checking out this town called Rouen, the place where Joan of Arc was executed. Then off travelling for another 3 hours to new hotel, should be able to squeeze in a workout at some point, most likely this evening. Hit a small 50 rep crunch session, this is good for upper abs, strengthening...

Eating preview ( Carbohydrates )
Hi 5.14 Fitness
Was going to do a page on eating well this evening but as I am away and without my laptop, I am having to blog via the app. Which does not let you write pages only posts! Here is a preview of what I will post as a page when I get back...
So I am going to cut to the chase and get...
Arrived
Hey 5.14 Fitness,Just checked into our first room in France; a little place called Rouen. This is just our first stop off point before we proceed to our villa in the south. Have not had much time to work out yet, other than a 25 rep press up session this morning. Trying to shake off some travel sickness at the moment, so I will exercise once I am feeling a bit brighter. Been up since before 4 am (...

Holidays
Hey 5.14 Fitness,
Just though I would give you a heads up; I am going on holiday tomorrow so not sure whether I will be able to post anything or not. But I will lets you know now, just because I am only holiday does not mean that I will not be working out; a commitment is a commitment and we have to stick to them. So I will continue to exercise when I can and I shall also keep my diet in moderation....
Welcome,
So just a quick post this morning; thought I would walk you guys through what I did yesterday.
I am going to jump straight in and start so without further a do:
1 set of press-ups 55reps (hold from a second and a half to 2 seconds)
Lower abdominal workout : (I posted about this the other day, got it from "SixPack Shortcuts") So 1 rep = bicycle crunch...

Press Ups
Hey,
Just wanted to make a quick post on an exercise that I feel not only works for performance but if completed correctly can add some size and great definition: the press up! I do at least one set of a 55 reps (each hold worth 2 seconds)of these a day, this is because they really help with performance and as you are not lighting heavy weights it is not affecting your development. Furthermore it...
Alright guys,
Just a reminder that yesterday was my rest day and that a more intense routine will take place to day, I will post what I have done and what I am planning on doing later on today. A bit of a shout out: good luck to all the teams in the English Football League season starts today. Still out with leg injury but should be okay for next week! Friday will be "Flex Friday" so I will post...
Good morning,
Just woken up from a great nights sleep, feeling pumped and ready to go! So, time to go through the workout from last night. How did I find it? Not too difficult, but I have been doing this one for just over a week now so maybe I am just starting to get used to it. It is designed to work lower abs and to help define "V" lines and that it certainly does. I am already getting great results...

First Workout preview
Hey,
About to do first workout so thought I would walk you through it, before hand and then talk about how it went after (obviously). So lets crack on shall we; got this one from a YouTube channel called "SixPack Shortcuts" its pretty straight forward: 30 seconds of bicycle crunches followed by a jack-knife. One bicycle crunch (left then right) followed by one jack-knife equals one rep,...

So here is what I am going to do: I have set me self numerous goals and targets to work towards concerning my personal health and fitness,...
