12 weeks to fitness

So I've been training for a while, but have decided to start a 12 week programme to chart my progress and see if I can notice any significant changes.  This is not so much a blog to advertise my training but more a blog to see how I can develop.

I'm using a mixture of cardio and weight lifting on alternate days.

Mon - Weights (Upper)

Tue - Cardio 20 - 30min HIIT

Wed - Weights (Lower)

Thurs - Cardio 20 - 30mins HIIT

Fri - Weights (Upper)

Sat - Cardio 20 - 30mins HIIT

Sun - Rest day

Diet is also central to my training regime.  High protein and healthy veg and fruit.  Mixture of complex carbs (including porridge and wholemeal bread).

From the 20th July 2008 I will also quit smoking.  Strange to set the date so far ahead, but I have read that a longer ahead you plan the easier it can be (something to do with the subconscious.  Here's hoping.  I have smoked for almost 14 years, and it really is time to stop.

So, here we go.
