"I’ve got to look like I could kill someone when I take my shirt off."
Quite.
It's no secret that since moving back across the planet from New Zealand, I've let myself go. From regularly running 20km, I've managed to go a full 18 months without doing any regular exercise of any sort.
I turned 33 the other day, and that's not old enough to settle quietly into middle age. Since we've now joined the local gym, I've got no excuse not to get cracking on a new health regime. I'm cutting down on the ridiculous amount of biscuits I'm chomping, reducing my obscene caffeine intake, and sorting out my currently-knackered bike. I'm also going to attempt this workout.
Frankly, it's a big ask. Hitting the gym 5 days a week may not actually be possible, but each daily workout is 45 minutes long, and isolates a particular muscle group. There's a chance I can double-up once or twice a week. The workout itself, if you haven't clicked the link, is the one used by Daniel Craig to get into shape for his role as British Icon James Bond, and that's also where the quote across the top comes from. I'm a long way from having a Bond-body, and I'm not sure that I could kill someone by taking my top off, but I'm pretty sure that disrobing in public could result in an onlooker vomiting up their lunch in a fairly explosive manner. Hopefully, a few months throwing lumps of iron around will change that for the better. I'm taking my 'before' shot shortly. See you in 6 months!
