Alright fellow Team type 1 crew,
FYI people that workout and are dedicated to sports and fitness as diabetics with type one diabetes I have taken to calling Team Type 1, just easier...and faster... Anyway, about 6 months back I was riding the bus when a bloke asked me if I live in the area. I said yes I did and was asked to go to open training for the local rugby team. I'm a big enough man at 32 years old, 19 stone 2lbs or 270lbs. Large, most of the weight fat but I boxed in the army and did weights back in the day so there was some muscle under the extra padding. Anyway, I went down to the training and....LOVED IT!
I pay the team membership fee of fourty pound a year and I get to play rugby and get a free gym membership from the rugby team gym. Since joining I have lost 3 inches off the waist but....I still weight 270lbs or 19.2 stone. Not sure wat that's all about but I know I'm more fit as I can now run 3 miles on the tredmill at a speed of 10.5 without stopping. This does cause my sugar to crash though so Orange juice and water 50/50 mix is always with me during these warm up runs. Then on none rugby training nights it's weights...lots and lots of weights.
This is what my weekly workout look like-
Monday-Plyometric sports cardio circuit
tueday-Rugby training (cardio and body weight work along with getting to hit people. Or gym 3 mile run, weighted squats, deadlifts, tractor tire flipping/dragging, sledge hammer work, heavy bag carry)
wednesday-Yoga
thursday-Rugby training again. (Gym this time is 3 mile run, chest press, butterflies, cable pulldowns, clean and sweeps, pull ups, press ups)
Friday- Home weights workout (Bicept curls, hammer curls, bent over rows, press up count downs 10 to 1 then back up)
Saturday - on seasons - Game day off season- Plyometric cardio circuit
Sunday- rest day.
Topping this off with a 2500 cal/day diet of %80 protein, %15 carbs, %5 healthy fats I'm doing great, sugars are better and I am nowhere near as sore as I used to be. Gonne cut my weights down though starting next week to low weight high reps, gonna try and cut 30lbs so I'll be 240lbs or 17.14 stone. I keep track of my eatign with a great app on my phone called calorie counter by fatsecret.com it's free and has a rundown of alot of food and market/resturaunt brands on it. I really REALLY advise this program for all diabetics. It's free, no hidden or otherwise costs, but check it out, you'll love it.
