A 75-day six-pack programme, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, women-only weightlifting and Couch to 5k: four writers on finding their perfect route to fitness
Emma Kennedy on the Six Pack Revolution
On day one, you can’t do 10 push-ups; by the end of the week you can. At the beginning of week two you can’t do 20 push-ups; by the end of the week you can. This pattern repeats for 11 weeks until, in your final seven days, you’re doing 110. These daily exercises aren’t remotely time-consuming – at the beginning you can have them done in 10 minutes . The key is sticking to it. For me, getting my dailies done before breakfast worked best.
I sleep better, I feel incredible and my energy levels are through the roof. I can’t recommend it enough. It’s given me my life back, and the best bit is that, once you’re used to it, it’s so easy to stick to when the programme is done. I do five days of Six Pack and what I like at the weekends.Marcel Theroux on Brazilian jiu-jitsuI had wanted to try Brazilian jiu-jitsu for a while before I finally plucked up the courage to have a go.
My son’s instructors, Pedro Garcia and Benny SooTho, also ran adult classes for their club, GFTeam. I loved the movement: it reminded me a little of PE at primary school. I didn’t spar that day. I sat and watched, very intimidated, as everyone grappled. It looked extremely intense.
