I don't know what day this marks it but I think I'm on like day 7. Woot. Today I did a little over an hour workout. I did intense steps for 30 minutes straight. Then I did some strength training and some yoga. Woo I'm tired! I made sure I drank lots of water, which I normally do while I'm at work. So my soda intake is minimal. I might have one soda when I get home but that's it. I think I'm doing pretty good.

so about 2 weeks ago my friend got a membership at my gym and asked me if id give him a few sessions so of course i said no problem and i gave him some time to get his body a little used to exercise again.
well today i realized im gonna love my job as a personal trainer.
as for how the session went he really liked it. except for the part where i was having him do dumbbell front raises, we worked down in weight until he was using pink 1lb dumbbells until fail. that was mostly for my amusement tho

Ran on a treadmill for the first time the other day. It was weird to get use to it. But I like it especially since I can plug my headphones into the tv and watch a football game while I run speed intervals!

Hey really love this thread and I am glad others are getting into it. I was in the Marine Corps and that was the best shape I ever been in, after getting out I continued to do the daily 16. I kind of slacked recently when I got injured at work as I do concrete drilling now so I was always getting an intensive workout from lifting the equipment. Once all better I am jumping back into running and lifting and do my daily 16 again. This thread really makes me happy and shows what others can do when motivated. Being in shape is real nice most of all the confidence and energy you get out of it. Cant wait to heal up now lol. Well good job to all who decided it was time to get in shape. Right now I am 5'10" at 195lbs at 22% body fat which shows I slacked when I got hurt, so really excited to get back in and drop that back to the 8% I was at.

i lift twice a week, best motivation for me is having a workout partner. It also helps that since im in school i get to use their gym for free. Working out by yourself is the worst for staying motivated, we even run together.
We have a pretty good workout routine for building muscle mass. Of course any revision help would be appreciated. But its a good starting point for anyone just wanting to get bigger.
1. 4 sets of 6 squats. Make sure you go until your quads are parallel to the ground.
2. 4 sets of 6 bench. If you are not touching your chest for these, you WILL lose movement in your arms.
3. 4 sets of 6 dead lift. You can look these up on line if your not familiar. We always do a shoulder shrug at the top.
4. 4 sets of 6 overhead press. You could think of this as a bench press over your head while your standing.
5. One other workout, alternated between a few. For instance, one day we'll curl, next we'll do clean jerks, tricep/skull crushers, shrugs, abs, etc.
The 4 sets of 6 is what works best for us, since we are trying to gain weve also found that you want just enough weight on the bar so that you fail on your very last rep! This does not include squating of course, you dont want to fail squating, so dont go too heavy and blow out your knees or your intestines. Remember, if you dont have a good spotter, dont fail at all.
Traditionaly lower reps per set with increased weight adds muscle faster. Lower weight with inceased reps per set tones

Haven't posted in here in a while..Started working out again..Did 30 minutes last night and took a walk around the complex..Felt good..Going to shoot for an hour everyday of the week and eventually pick up some weights so I can get some muscle back..to even think that I use to be able to lift 110 pounds in my weight training class..Some girls couldn't even lift the bar. Anyway, I'm also trying to cut down on sodas more and drink more water. I just wish our tap water tasted good :-/. Guess I'll steal some water from work..bwhahaha.
