Right! Its a new month so its time to set some goals. This is a new addition to the site where I will be posting up my goals for the forthcoming month in order to inspire me and maybe some of you too!
My Goals for November 2012
My health and fitness goals for this month are pretty simple. They are as follows:
- Go to the gym eight times
- Do 10 home workouts on my exercise bike
- Work on my one handed push ups
- Loose 1kg of body weight
- Eat zero Magnum ice creams
- Read the Lean Ape Living ebook
How to Do a One Handed Push Up?
I saw a cool set of videos on another website recently, covering how to do one armed push ups and how to work your way up to being able to do them. I can do about 30 regular push ups but wouldn’t mind being able to do a few one handed ones too. I’m going to give it a serious go this month and hope to be able to do at least a few by Christmas. Can you do them?
Lose 1kg of Body Weight
This one is pretty self-explanatory. Hopefully my sensible eating and workouts this month will result in me losing 1kg or 2.2 pounds of weight which will be fat rather than muscle. My main goal is really to lose inches off my waist and drop my body fat percentage levels rather than my weight going down on the scales but this target will do for now.
Eat Zero Magnum Ice Creams
Man I love these ice creams! Over the past few months I’ve been slowly getting addicted to them where at one point last month I was having one a day. A Magnum Original contains 260 calories which is a lot when you start eating them on the regular. I’m going zero tolerance on these for this month at least! What naughty foods are you currently over-enjoying?
Read the Lean Ape Living ebook
I’ve been following the Lean Ape site for a while now and have picked up their ebook as I like the ethos behind the site and its interesting to watch the site grow as its a similar age to mine. Now I’ve got the book I have to actually read it which I hope to do this month. I’ll do a review of the Lean Ape Living book on this site when I’m done. Read any good (fitness) books lately?

I like the sound of those goals Joe
Good luck with it, and I really wished that you hadn’t mentioned Magnums. Ah well, there is always Saturday cheat day for me! Hope that you enjoy the book.
Thanks for stopping by Dave. Magnums are only 80p out here so even more tempting! Plus its hot every day which doesn’t help. Can’t wait to get stuck into the book this weekend.
Not got any goals for November you want to share?
Cheers, Joe
Actually I do. I just went back to training 3 times a week for the short term. It isn’t viable for me all the time, but for a month I am training all out 3 times weekly. Just not going too heavy on the leg work every day though.
So far so good. We have been doing 1 legged weighted squats, try them, reall killer!
Sounds good! I’ve just started doing squats again after not having access to a barbell and rack for a few years. They are killers, will give the one legged ones a go soon though!
