I took the leap and joined a local gym. I started a full body weight training program. I am working out on two types of weight machines Nautlis and Ikaria(?). For now I am doing eight different machines, three sets of 12 on each. I am also still doing cardio work...getting in shape to do some serious running this spring.

Here is my workout from today, I expect to keep it the same for the next few weeks.

Treadmill
1/4 ile warm up
run 2miles at 8min pace

stretch

Weights
2 sets of 12 on all eight machines

Treadmill
1mile at 8min pace

Weights
one more set of 12 for each machine

cool down on the basketball court for 5-15 min

This is what I did today and it felt great. I may alter pace,and weight as I go but I will try to keep it the same basic workout for a few weeks. If I feel like it is getting too routine I will mix it up after six weeks. That is the plan anyhow.

The goal is to break 200lbs by my daughters birthday on 4-26.
