Hi Guys
My name is Ant and I am an active diabetic. Let me tell you about what I did, having travelled alot for work I found it difficult to train, I had gotten out of shape and unfit, so I seen an info-advert for Insanity. Having had enough I completed it after a few false starts. I really noticed a change in my body and fitness but didnt really adjust what I was eating or how I was interacting with my diabetes. I then moved onto T25 and loved it but again following the same pattern.
I moved on to a different job and was able to go to the gym in the mornings getting very strong and increasing mass, but again not really looking after my diabetes. After 3 months I moved into Crossfit, and did this for another 3 months and loved it, absolutely loved it, but we moved and I couldn't do it anymore. 6 months later and we moved again and I got back into it loving it, then 6 months later we moved again and I couldn't go to my classes any more.
So now I am working out from home again following Crossfit training plans and getting distance coaching. In between all that I also got a fitness instructor qualification, and am slowly beginning to look after my diabetes or at least what I eat and how I test.
Crossfit went to town on Diabetes last year and to me this was a massive faux pas by the organisation banning soft drinks but not beer from their competitions was a bit hypocritical and I voiced my concerns as much. However it is a great exercise program and it works.
So will be posting training and plan details in this blog for anyone interested in following some Crossfit workouts.
If anyone is interested hit me up!
Peace out
Ant
