Now football season is back, and I'm playing twice a week this year, I've really noticed how unfit I have become over the summer, as cricket does not really keep you fit, and neither does parties, pubs and nights out! So, it's now time to whip myself into shape!

I will be following a simple, yet effective workout regime, which I have put together myself. I will run 5 times a week for an hour each time, and then 3 times a week I will be doing this medball workout. So all I need to pay for is a 4kg medicine ball, which will cost me just 19.99 pounds, which if you ask me is a brilliant price to get myself back into shape.

The running, I do not need to explain. The medball, I probably should explain! It's basically a workout that was devised in America by a strength and conditioning coach of a basketball team, who uses it to whip his players into shape in pre season training. It's simply a routine you do with a 4kg medicine ball, and there are ten exercises to perform in this routine. You do each one for 20 reps, so in the end of it all, you do 200 reps when you have finished, that times 3, means you do 600 reps a week of this. Doesn't sound so easy or fun now! haha! But I'm gonna do it, and I'm gonna let you all know how it comes along.

Going to start the running next week, but can't do the medball workout yet as I need to purchase one first, but no reason why I can't start running yet!

So here is my training plan

Monday - Running + Medball workout
Tuesday - Running
Wednesday - Running + Medball workout
Thursday - Running
Friday - Running + Medball workout
Saturday - Football
Sunday - Football

that should whip me back into shape! Will post updates and let you all know how its coming along
