BringIt's Gym Log
 

Well - This is not my first step of exercise in this journey, I have been regularly walking since probably 350lbs then around 300lbs while out of town for work, I started to regularly attend the gym to work out on the Treadmill and Elliptical. Then around 280 I started to do a little bit of weightlifting. But not much.


Now that I am home and have the time to dedicate to it. I plan to really start intensifying my workouts, to increase weight-loss closer to my goal. Because as you lose more weight you have to work harder to lose it!

This will be my way of accountability and to let others (family mainly) see the kind of work that I have put into it.

I'd assume the gym was closed - but honestly I didnt check

tomorrow is legs and back on weights and more cardio

10minutes on Treadmill to Warmup

10minutes on ARC Machine

10 Minutes on Elliptical - 4 resistance Intervals

10 Minutes on Treadmill - no running today - nursing soar shins

At least you're honest! I hope you don't mind me popping in here, but ever since I saw you posting in the "100 lb's in 2008 thread", I have been impressed with your success. you're doing awesome and I am inspired by your acheivement (sp?)
Keep up the good work!

cool, id like to start a gym log...where do i start?

Wednesday September 3rd -

Went to a different gym location because mine was moving into it's new location.

Did leg weights - Z squats - Leg Press - Leg Curls - Leg Extensions

and I tried to do a couple pull ups on the assisted pull up machine. haha did 6 with the machine set at 130lbs me not knowing how this machine worked totally it ended up being 130lbs of assistance. so I was really only pulling up 128lbs geeze that makes me feel weak. A place to start though and one day I am going to do a set of unassisted pull ups.

Then I did a 12:25 Minute Mile - Fastest Ive done in the Last 9 or 10 years?

Then 10 Minutes on the Elliptical almost a mile

Then 10 Minutes back on the Treadmill

Everyone can feel free to post and I'll answer any and all questions too.. If there are any.
