Here is my situation.
I play Aussie Rules every year. Normally I'm carrying a few extra kilos and make it through. This year I have really let myself go due to a number of personal factors that have taken priority over attending preseason and what-not.
Round one is April 9. So that gives me about 4.5wks to get cram and get into some sort of fitness.
Quick profile about me;
181cm or 5ft11.5in
Ideal playing weight – 90-95kg
Playing weight last 2 years – 105-110kg
Current weight – 116kg
Just by training at a moderate level 2-3 times a week with football training I usually find I lose weight without much effort as long as my diet isn't completely crap. What I want to do it drop as much as possible over these next four weeks and then ease off a bit once the season starts and continue to drop weight steadily throughout the season.
Cardio has always been my weak point, even when I was 90kg and fit as a fiddle I would struggle bigtime with anything over 3-4km.
Anyone suggest some sort of regime that won't burn me out too much and will be efficient and effective? I can't afford a gym membership and semi-recent shoulder dislocation prohibits me from doing the majority of weights.
The only thing I have locked in at the moment is Footy training 2 nights a week and 1 practice match on the saturday. I was thinking about going to a GP and asking for some type of medication to help the process along...
Another thing that may be of note is that unsuprisingly, I love my food. Whether I eat healthy or not I eat big servings. I find that I will eat a big home cooked dinner and then be hungry within a few hours and thats what kills my diet because I snack on all the bad stuff.
Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
