Just Starting....
 

I just started working out last night. I am big but I have been active, just obviously not active enough. My biggest fear is being flabby. I do not want to have to go through all kinds of body tucks when I am done. My arms are my biggest thing, I want to wear my racer backs and look good. I am using weights, I have a huge gym set with 300 pounds worth of weights and a slant bench and a Nordi-Trak. The first time on that was fun!! (not! I almost died! haha) I want to add a tread mill. I actually look forward to working out tonight!

I did not work out on the 13th, but today I am very busy and walking quite a bit. I am home and remodling. Later tonight I will work on my weights and try my Nordi-Trak again.

Well I worked out last night. I AM SORE! I guess that is a good thing since I know it must be working. I was outside all day today and worked my butt off putting up stockade fencing and alot of outdoor stuff so I was mobile all day today, so I am taking it easy tonight or I will not be able to move tommorrow.

:D Sorry I have totally forgotten to write in this journal! I just responded to another forum and it mentioned working out and I said oops! Well here to say, I have been working out I have all my gym equipment just to keep make myself using it. I won't lie I am not the perfect person, I tend to slack off but my new watchers Tammie and Justin have been kicking my but and making sure I get in at least 20 minutes a night. My biggest fear is being a big ball of flab. I know I will need a tummy tuck with 14 years of overweight and 3 close pregnancies, but I want to avoid any others like bat wing removal. So sweating it is!!:D

Hey there -

Just checking in here. Why don't you post up what you're doing so we can help you tweak it for results as you go along?

Well I don't know all the techy terms but I do
3 sets of 10 inclined sit ups
5 minutes on the Nordi-Trak (it still kills me)
3 sets of 10 butterfly press at about 40 pounds
3 sets of 10 pull downs at 80 pounds
3 sets of 10 sitting bench lifts at 100 pounds
3 sets of 20 leg pushs (sitting) at 150 pounds
if I do not do this then I try to walk.

Did the above tonight PLUS stretching! OUCH! :lol:

Good girl!

Maybe consider moving the nordic track to the end - it's cardio. And slow it down. No need to go so hard.

Keep up the good work!

Thank you. I will try that. I love working with the weights that is my favorite.
