Fitness post: Diet and fitness plan

As promised the diet, It consists of 5 meals, now I cant take any credit for this, I read a large number of fitness and diet plans and this is somewhat of a cocktail of them all, i use information from people such as Scooby, Mike Chang and Arnel Ricafranca.

Meal 1
2 eggs (only egg whites) and chopped broccoli
Glass of skimmed milk

Meal 2
1 Apple
1 Banana

Meal 3
1 Large salmon (For vegetarians take 2 handfulls of frozen veg and microwave, then mix with some red spaghetti sauce)
4 Small boiled potatoes

Meal 4 (Post work-out)
1 Whey protein shake (Drink during work-out, Finish after)
1 Banana

Meal 5
1 egg white with broccoli

Now for a few tips,
1. Keep hydrated, Drink plenty of water
2. Don't add sugar and milk to your tea or coffee
3. Don't drink and fizzy drinks.

The Work-outs consists of mainly Interval training, DON'T DO THIS IN THE MORNING Mike Chang here will explain that fast cardio in the morning burns muscle not fat, this you want to do about 4 or 5 o'clock after you get home from school/college/work

Mike Chang's video:







(I would recommend doing what he says in the mornings)

So Week 1 would be 20 mins of running:

Warm up for a slow jog for 4 mins
Sprint as fast as you can for 1 min 9/10 intensity
Jog at medium 5/10 intensity for 4 mins
Sprint as fast as you can for 1 min 9/10 intensity Etc

I do this for 20 mins, then after 1 week I increase the work out time to 22 mins (each week by 2 mins) and the time I sprint increases by 10 seconds each week.

Good luck, feel free to leave a comment with any questions.

Birel Chassis review (1)

I am still writing the health and fitness post so look out for that it should hit your faces around next week ish

However, i realized i have had my Easy kart for a while and i am yet to tell you wonderful people what its like, I (like some of you out there now or planning to do so) started with a cheap TKM kart (still have it) that i bought with my friends, between the three of us we each own a 33.3% share of it, and whilst it was the most amazing project to strip, repaint and rebuild it, the chassis was from an old MS KART and a bit of a hand full in the corners, but if you can get you hands on an old race kart, rebuilding it is an amazing summer project (summer is coming up so save up three of four hundred pounds if you can and DO IT, there are plenty of old
style tkm's out there.... (REVIEW IS BELOW CLICK READ MORE)

Sporting Personalities (The "dip")

Whilst this blog is made to share my jurney of motorsport, along the way i will share some of my opinion on sport. mainly on motorsport and F1 but these can vary to all sports.


I like to think I watch a lot of sport from football to Formula 1 to Karting, and I have noticed a very broad variety in sports personalities. Many professional athletes are commonly judged on how they react to certain scenarios.

Formula 1 shows my point here as drivers go on to win their first championship, you often see drivers slipping under the radar mid-season, for example Jenson Button in 2009 made a records matching start to the season winning six of seven raced, a record only achieve before by Michael Schumacher and someone else (dunno who).

However after that, Jenson only managed to average 6th throughout the rest of the season, (though double diffusers may have had something to do with it) Jenson claimed he wasn’t happy with how unpredictable the cars handling had become. But commentators and analyst seemed to think Jenson wasn’t coping with the stress of leading the championship too well. Though he did comeback with an amazing storm through the grid at Brazil to take the championship, it’s this mid-season dip in performance I wish to talk about.....

I bought a kart!!!

I recently made a trip 'round to Bolton to buy a kart, ill keep this post short and sweet and ill give details when i post pictures and stuffs, the kart belonged to current EasyKart Junior drive Will Jeavons,

As you eagle eyed readers may have guessed , i bought an EasyKart,

For those who don't know, EasyKart is a project between popular Italian chassis manufacturers Birel and the American engine manufacturer IAME, they tried to make a series that is a step up from arrive and drive karting but keep the main basic principals, as everything is provided by EasyKart, and due to this costs have been kept relatively low.
