Week One (Day Four)

Friday I left work a little early as we had some out of office meetings and nothing left to do in the afternoon since Asia was already on Saturday morning and no one was working at HQ, this happens a bit on Fridays so i have a feeling I’ll be able to get to the gym before the after work rush hits.

 

Got to the gym around 4 pm

 

20 minutes on the bike (and feeling good about it)

 

Shoulders only. (push) 4 sets of 3 exercises

 

End of week one and I’m feeling good. Although after my first chest and back day on day one I was hurting for sure for the following 3 days.  This will soon go away and i’ll be back in shape in no time.

Week One (Day Three)

Wed Morning 6 am.

18 minutes on the bike

Leg workout

Hamstrings (pull) and Quads (push)  3 sets of 2 exercises.

I have not been watching my diet like a militant gym rat but have made an effort to eat more vegetables and less carbs and sweets. Not going to get to involved with my eating just yet.

Week One (Day Two)

I’m going to make an effort to hit the gym every other day until I get in shape enough to see a trainer and have them set me up with a schedule. So to beat the gym rush hours I decided during the weekdays I would either go early in the morning, or after 8 o’clock at night. during the weekends i’ll go when ever.

Since i went on a Saturday for day one the next trip was Monday morning. Got up at 5:30 am with Liz pulled on a t-shirt and sweats, had a small cup of apple sauce so that I would not be working out on an empty stomach.

18 minutes on the bike. Biceps (pull) and Triceps (push). 3 sets of 3 different exercises for each muscle.

Before i left i weighed myself for the first time in 3 years. 246 lbs. !!! Heaviest i’ve ever known myself to be. It’ll all be gone son though.

Week One (Day One)

I got my membership on Friday night and I hit the gym first thing Sat Morning. I started out with 18 minutes on the bike. While riding the bike i decided to kind pick up an old lifting routine i did a few years ago. I will work on two muscle groups each time i go, one push group and one pull group. i.e. Bicep (pull group) Triceps (push group). After the bike i started with Chest (push) and Back (pull) I did three sets of 2 different exercises for each muscle group and was exhausted when I left.

Once I got home I had Liz take a picture of me using my cell phone. I plan to document this with pictures as well as the blog. So here it is.
