Get James Bond Fit- in 3 weeks



So I've decided to move on from the LL Cool J workout book. I did Phase 1 and Phase 2...but at phase 3, demanding 6x a week, with an unusual split routine, I just didn't find the motivation. Sorta fell off the wagon last week, drinking beer, eating burritos, chips, bagels, and pastries. I did learn some good things from the book though. They recommended cardio after lifting and alternated betwen steady state and high intensity intervals. Additionally, there are some nice tidbits about what inspires LL, and the first chapter about honing the mind to get ready to train is great. Maybe I'll get back to it at a later date with a partner.

For now- I've gone back to the old Daniel Craig routine from MH. I did this routine way back in 2003 when Casino Royale came out. MH has done a good job of recycling the exact same material. I'm sure Craig, almost 50, has changed up his routine in 10 years- but alright. This is what's published.

I did the Monday workout today- though swapped out bench press for power clean. It was nice to get back to some bigger movements- like bench and pull-ups ( I did overhand grip). There were also some regulars in the gym in great shape- so that's inspiring. If I curb my drinking habits and get back to eating clean, I bet I can be in decent shape by the end of the month.


 Some important aspects that people forget are:
1- Have a regular time and place
2- Keep a journal and write down your goals
3- Have a partner if possible
4- Drink water
5- Forget bread and beer; also sugar of all kinds (reduce fruit intake)
6- Get rest
7- Enjoy movement and enjoy the process
8- Show up
9- Motivational music
10- Be where you are at. Be competitive- but                                                                                               ultimately, recognize it's about personal best.
