Working Out

So, I decided to change from the Biggest Loser, Yoga, Pilates workout I've been doing for awhile now to a more concentrated muscle building workout. I got this book called "Men's Health Hard Body Workout Plan" and in it several weeks of specific exercises and meal plans. The idea is to focus on 3 things. Muscle building, cardio, and flexibility.

My goal is to look like this:



Just KIDDING!!!!

Actually I just want to build some definition, loose some fat, and get a little stronger. I'm pretty optimistic about this plan because it tells me exactly what I need to do. No guess work. I'm on week 2. So far I've gained 5 pounds. I'm not sure if that's good or bad? And I don't feel much stronger but it's still early.

Here's what I learned so far:
1. Buying rusty metal plates from thrift stores can help save you money
2. Its best to clean the rust off, otherwise you might get it in your eyes or sandwich you are eating
3. Using a metal chair as a bench can work, just be prepared to put a cushion under it so you don't pinch your skin

I'm also running, doing biggest loser yoga, biggest loser sculpting and pilates occasionally. I'm documenting all my workouts and nutrition on my iphone. I'm making sure I rest, drink enough water, and eat enough good foods.

Keep you posted on the results...
