...and Ive started exercising 3-4 days a week. I started two weeks ago, at the end of February, and I lost 2 days this week due to being sick. Im still congested, but I got some weight lifting in today. I took some before pictures but Ill spare you. Basically I want to blog here more often about the process, and make myself accountable for this. Ive done real well in the last few weeks. Week 1 I went to the Y 3 days, week 2 I went 4 days. This week its going to be 2, possibly 3. The first two weeks I was just doing cardio, but this week I decided after reading an older issue of Men's Health (thank's Cindy) where they had a 'Spartacus' workout designed for the guy in some new Starz show that consisted of some very simple full body/bodyweight/kettleball assisted moves. The whole shebang takes 40-50 minutes so its a circuit and weights at once.
I forewent that, and instead got out a copy of Body for Life that I have had for awhile. While I don't think ill come out quite that good in the end, id bet they probably didn't think they would either, so here's me, at week three (or week one of BFL workouts) here on the Raggedy edge.
my progress thus far since the 23rd ish of February....
The last two weeks ive been doing elliptical or the treadmill for 20-25 minutes and a bike for 10-15 for warm up. Today was different, though with the BFL upper body. It's not brutal, but ill need to be careful not to overdo it. Its 5 sets, and then a 6th of another upper body muscle group, with the upper body divided into something like 4 sections. With all the machines in the Y it's actually hard to find some to do the exercises that the book suggests, so dumb bells or something may have to suffice.
