Trying to get a few pounds off in prep is easier said than done. I started to try the Insanity work out which destroys you from start to finish. Providing you put the effort in of course. The good side to this is that you see and feel the effects within a couple of weeks. Energy levels rise and weight comes off, unless you down a couple of doughnuts with fish and chips straight after. An example of how it effects you is shown here. This was after an easy session if there is such a thing with Insanity.
The real secret to losing the pounds lays, definitely in what you eat. Nutrition is the key and unfortunately I appear to have lost the key. A good guide to nutrition, while training is"The Complete Guide to Sports Nutrition" by Anita Bean. If you can afford the ingredients I would also recommend Gordon Ramsey's Healthy Appetite for some well balanced meals.
Refereeing a football match tomorrow so no hard training although there will be some sort of warm down tomorrow evening so I don't sieze up on Sunday.
