So into day four of the whole getting fitter thing and a pretty exemplar day with the exercise quota being completed by nine am! Fruit and fluid quotas were also met in a truely exciting day all-round!
A couple of you have already asked about quotas, so I’ll explain. The exercise quota is a progressive course, starting at the moment with around 20 minutes of jogging and 20 minutes of floor exercises and stretches which will grow over the next twenty weeks. Sunday is different because it is just a long jog, and on Monday it’s just floor exercises.
Fruit and fluid is a bit more simple, fruit and vegetables should form 5-9 portions a day in the average diet, and an average male should drink just over 2 litres of water a day, which not only helps hydration but attacks tiredness and keeps the brain going!
Just wanted to add something on the whol Dwain Chambers debate here - personally I support the BOA, and today I’ve spoken to a number of ex atheletes who agree. By taking drugs he KNEW were illegal, he forfitted the chance to represent us. I think that’s right and I think it sends a good message out to young people who might feel tempted to try and cut corners -don’t. Be interested to hear what you have to say….
