When I Started:
Dec, 2008
How I Started:
I've mostly just used cardio and weight machines (on and off)and jogged over the last few years. I had a personal trainer for three months in 2007 to give me a wider exposure to weight training exercises. After a knee injury in April I had trouble doing much of anything and gained alot of weight. Had the knee surgery in November and I'm just getting back to weight training. Have to take it slow. I can no longer run, so I'm hoping that adding weight training to low impact cardio will help me reach my fitness goals.
Why I Love It:
I feel strong and have more energy!
How I Stay Motivated:
Reading articles and blogs on bodybuilding.com

I want to lose fat, build muscle, and learn to live joyously!
Goal (Long):
My goal used to be to run a full marathon, since both of my sisters have done so and I now live in a place where everyone is out running with their dogs. Since I can't run anymore, I need a new goal and a new way of revving up my metabolism. I enjoy the elliptical, hiking, and biking, but cardio alone is not enough to take this weight off. My goal is to build muscle and eat clean so that I can lose this 36 pounds of extra weight I'm carrying around. I want to feel the energy in my body rather than the fat that weighs me down.
Well... my working out at lunch with coworkers for the fitness challenge backfired. I got out of the habit of going to the gym and doing tapes is not the same as lifting weights. I am in terrible shape. I feel fat and devoid of energy. Went to go the gym today and found out my gym had...
Keeping track in workout tracker. I am still learning about what exercises are good for what body part. At least I'm not doing just machines anymore. I used to avoid free weights because I felt silly doing so little weight and cables because I had no clue what to do with them. I usually tear...
Cute face and smile! Stats seem to be going down acording to graff. Sucks about the knee..right now I am trying to train around back and right hip sciatic. You look to be well on the way!! Good luck with BIKINE goal! I want to see it!!
Workout week has been frustrating...Work stress was a barrier that I had to just get through and make it. Trying to make working out as much of a habit as brushing my teeth!
my weekend is going great, my body is recovering from an intense session and i am about to watch more football...what more can a man ask for...lol! and how is your training going?
