Fitness Challenge
A chronicle, a record, if you will of Al's latest fitness Program.

Starting Point, April of 2004: I was 40 years old, 220 lbs, 38 waist, 44 inch chest, 30% body fat.
Current Stats:Male, 42 years old,  Weight 200, waist 36, chest 46, 23% body fat

Goals: Weight 185, waist 34, chest 46, 15% body fat.

Typical Meal Plan: I'm still following the body for Life Plan: 6 small meals a day consisting of a serving of protein and a serving of high quality carbohydrate with a serving of vegetable added to two meals a day. A serving is about the size of your clenced fist. The Body For Life program has a list of "approved foods" and I try to choose from the list. I'm not using the EAS nutritional supplements recommended by the program but I sometimes will use a less expensive whey protein powder supplement

Workouts: I excercise 6 days a week. I do at least 20 minutes of aeorbic exercise on each of the 6 days. Monday, I work on my shoulders, Tuesday, I do my back. On Wednesday, I do my legs. Thursday, I do my abs. Friday, I do my chest. Saturday, I do my arms. Sunday I rest. Whatever part I'm working out I follow the basic body for life patern of sets of 12, 10, 8, 6, 12 and a set of 12 of a similar exercise.

I work out at Grim's Gym in Port Moody, BC, Canada, a really good facility with every piece of aerobic or weightlifting equipment you could ever imagine.
