Ok I'm in.
6 pack by summer. Last year I went to the gym 2 times/week (MMA FIt) and rode my bike to work almost exclusively (bus otherwise). I was less diligent about my diet, so I only ended up losing about 25 lbs (probably 40 lbs of fat), which leaves another 30 lbs or so before I can be considered 'lean'.
So, by summer I intend to have a six pack. I don't much care about the appearance part of it (though perhaps my lady will appreciate it), but I do care about the health. To do that I will:
1. Up the ante with the gym. My work schedule means I've only been able to attend the MMA fit twice/week, but I'm going to add a third workout at home. I have enough kettlebells and other such stuff that it is more an issue of making the time. I intend to do that.
2. Cycle everywhere. I'm a big guy (6'4", 260 lbs), and running is pretty tough on my old knees (which spent 10 summers treeplanting). But cycling is near zero impact and limitless. I'll be riding the kids to school when the weather turns, and I'll be riding myself everywhere all year round.
3. Food. I've found the 'primal' style diet seems to work for me, and totally controls my acid reflux as well. So this year I am going to be almost totally committed to it (an occasional glass of wine or bottle of beer might be consumed, but something like once/week).
4. Ocean swimming. My neighbourhood is surrounded by beautiful west coast BC beaches (literally in 3 directions) and I can get to about 10 more with a 5 minute bike ride. I have a wetsuit and the desire, but I haven't yet had the nerve. When the weather starts to warm up a bit I'm going to go for an ocean swim every Thursday morning. If I like it I'll add a few more - at least 1 km each swim. Ocean swimming is a much better workout than the pool, and it hurts my moustache to drive 22km to the pool to do lengths (passing about 60 beaches along the way).
