Tommorrow I start my first challenge.. Everything I know comes from what I read and the package I recieved in the mail. I guess I should have bought the book.. I could use some advice from the pros out there among us. I don't have the money to join a gym or buy some fancy equipment. I belong to the ymca which has 8 nautilus machines and treadmills and bikes and a pool.
I also own a bike and a treadmill. I took measurements this morning so that at least done. I don't own a body fat caliper and I go to my mom's to step on the scale once a week. I am still doing induction and I hope I am able to keep up with the demands. I did start pyramiding my lifts on the nautilus a week ago but unsure how this 5sets will work and since only two of the machines are for the lower body I need some advice on buying some weights tommorrow. Hey nothing like the last minute. I figure a set of 5 and a set of ten oughta do it. Well I guess thats about it and hope to have the same awesome results are have read about. I currently weigh 244 pounds and even my mother doesn't know that. I am 5'4" and I am just starting to squeeze into some size sixteen pants which I find very strange since I have read about people the same height as me weighing much less to be able to get into that size. I do have a large frame and broad shoulders so maybe that accounts for some of it but I wouldn't exactly consider myself muscular. I would much like to comfortably wear a size 14 for christmas and by next summer be wearing a size 8 but thats a long way off and my hours on the treadmill away. I did find that if the tv is on it allows for enough of a distraction that the treadmill isn't quite so boring.
