I used to work out in high school, but didn't think much of it, but after putting on weight in my first year of college I decided to get back into it. I had no idea that what began as a means of getting into a little better shape would become one of the biggest parts of my life.
Why I Love It:
What better way is there to blow off steam than lifting? Even though I hate cardio, I do it because I've seen what it does for my body.
How I Stay Motivated:
I look in the mirror. Every single day. If I like what I see then I work to make it better. If I don't like what I see, then guess what... I work to make it better.
BB Accomplishments:
I learned how my body works. I know how much I need to eat and when to eat it. On top of that, I've also learned how to lift... CORRECTLY.
I would like to cut my weight down to 180lbs. After achieving this goal, I plan to add more muscle.
Goal (Long):
The last three years for me have been a road of discovery. In highschool I worked out five days a week but had no idea about how nutrition and gym time were linked together. The result was a fit body, but mostly because of my active life style, not because of my time in the gym. My first year of college I quit working out and went through some hard times, this of course leading to gained weight. Since then I've come a long way and currently find myself in better shape than I've been in my life. I've been leaner, but considering the muscle that I've held onto while dropping weight, I'm very happy.
So after getting sick and tired of morning cardio in the gym, I finally got motivated to drive across town this morning to climb the local hill/mountain on the east side. I’ve just been getting sick of the tread mill/ elliptical/ row/ stepper business and figured that it could do my system...
I'm on a program right now that I have been working on for about a year. The basics of this program:
Day 1: Pec/Lat
Day 2: Legs/Shoulders/Traps
Day 3: Bicep/Tricep
Day 4: Cardio
These workouts all take place first thing in the morning and are followed by fifteen minutes of moderate to...
In an effort to switch it up i'm currently researching some diets week by week and have started a bodygroup to get some help and advice as well as motivation. 1Life 1Body 1.
Things are good, I think I finally dialed in my diet and its smooth sailing from here. Training has been the same, will probably change training in 7 weeks time.
