When I Started:
Mar, 2007
How I Started:
Started with pushups with my brother in hallway aged 14. I purchased some second hand weights later. Trained on and off through university but no longer than three or four months in a row. Have not trained for more than three months in a row since 2001. 2007 was the year when I trained hardest and consistenly over a long period of time. In 2008, I have joined a six month transformation contest on this website and taken up running to improve my overall cardiovascular fitness and lose weight.
Why I Love It:
Helps me keep up with my hulk kid and ninja boy
How I Stay Motivated:
To stay healthy and live longer for my wife and kids.
BB Accomplishments:
Leaving the cockadoody makeshift living room gym and going to a real gym.
What is your favorite cardiovascular exercise? Why?
Running is the best for me.the increased stamina benefits you in many aspects of life and gives you that base so necessary for developing anaerobic capacity.

Do you monitor your heart rate while doing cardio?
Yes
Do you use a heart rate monitor? Which one?
Every 15 minutes or so i take my haeart rate (usung finger on pulse and a wristwatch)to monitor my effort and ensure it is steady.
What heart rate do you aim for while doing cardio? Why?
I aim to keep my heart rate over 150 preferably around 160 bpm.
because of the keys in my pocket weighing one side down as I ran. So I took them out and held them in my hand. Otherwise, the run around the bays was quite comfortable and fast tonight. I think it was the three day layoff that let the tendons settle and strengthen. The tide was well out and...
Just finished a summer gig, working at the airport from 21:30-01:30, I was throwing luggage, and cleaning planes, but the late night hours wore me out. Am taking a college classes on Thursdays to renew my liscience. Hope to return to running beginning Friday. All is well, and hectic. Keep moving forwards, you're off to a grat start as spring approaches.
I know how that goes. Since I have been in the US training has been a bit like when I broke my wrist (although then it had to be so)...I need to do more running; get rid of some of my leg mass...Thanks...Did some study earlier in the year. More re exercise science later...
Hey there long time no chat :) I took a long break from working out... my bad... and have just gotten back into it again a couple of weeks ago. Been going strong since. Did a 41 minute run last night!
It went well. Glad it's over...Yep, I still keep a daily log. Most recent is "The Female Terminator Chronicles" at http://forum.bodybuilding.com/ showthread.php?t=113082381.
Everything's good here in VT, except I'm the one in the dog house. Yesterday, my wedding band slipped off my finger and is lost. Enjoy your summer, and keep moving forwards.
My summer was very sporadic, but I played basketball 4X a week. September was bleah, but I've beeen doing well these past 4 weeks. How you have a great spring, enjoy the longer hours of daylight.
Seriously great progress. Wish I had your bulk, and yeah, KFC is amazing too... heh all fastfood is great. Oops, shouldn't say that on this site, right?
