Hello all-
Having perused many of the threads and deciding that I want ALL of Coach Sonnon's products, I am faced with "analysis paralysis". Where do I start? A little about me. I am a 30 year old, recovering fatbody who is looking to drop some serious weight. I'm 5'10" and now weigh 230 - I think 190 would be a good weight for me. I am currently doing kettlebells and have started the NHE diet to facilitate the weight loss. I have 3 main reasons to want to drop weight. 1) I hate what I look and feel like 2) I stickfight with Dogzilla of the Dog Brothers and want to be in great fighting shape for a possible March gathering. I am sick and tired of being worn out in :30 seconds (yes, my cardio is non-existent as well) 3) Vanity - I'm tired of being 'the fat funny one' of the group. I'm fairly ashamed to admit to what I've become over the course of some 6 years. :oops: When I was in the Marines, I was a lean 170, but put on a LOT of fat plus some muscle in the subsequent years. So I think right now 190 is a good goal.
Anyway, aside from weightloss, my main goals for training are to supplement my stickfighting/self-defense training. Sorry for the long winded post, but any advice would be much appreciated. Mahalo in advance. Oh yeah, my flexibility is not great either and my breathing technique is probably horrendous as well. All that being said, I am alive...so things could be worse. :D
Aloha, Kalani
