Certainly true. I probably wouldn't have made my goal last week if it weren't for last weeks thread. Probably wouldn't have started this week either.

It allows me to let the cares & stress of the real world go & focus on some simple physical exertion.
You should try it out SigmaNunki.
I envy you. I can't just focus on working out, never could. There's always some math or programming some such sitting in my brain. Though I can focus on those things... weird.
At any rate, the only thing that I can do right now is what I can do in my living room; money constraints.
But, what I would like to do, when I come into money again, is get back into martial arts. Also, wall climbing and stuff like that would be fun too

I'm joining up with this fitness club thread.
I'll start with stats and goals:
Stats
Female
5'8.5" (i tell everyone i'm 5'9")
145 pounds
Goal(s)
1. Back down to 115-120 lbs. It's what my drivers license says and I'd like to be back down to it.
2. Work out 5-6 days a week
3. Eat less and healthier
4. Limit myself to 1 or 2 nights of drunken revelry.
This shouldn't be too terrible to accomplish. I've managed to successfully shoot my metabolism to hell, but aside from that it's all good. I have wasted one of my drinking nights already this week--yay for Sundays. But I did work out yesterday and will tomorrow, etc etc.
Good luck everyone!

I've decided I want to slim down somewhat. I don't want to tell you guys my weight right now cause it'll make you think I'm a lot bigger than I am. I've stopped drinking for a while and started to eat less. Also trying to eat healthier. My car is broken so I have to walk to work also I'm going back to being the old me so I'll be a lot more energetic and happier.
An I carried such a torch

It depends on what you want to accomplish. But, always listen to you body. If you feel sore or uncomfy or whatever, stop. If you think no pain, no gain, you have no brain (just thought that one up myself I did
Seriously, no insult intended. Shiny? ).Generally (and this is from a long ago memory) if you want bulk/strength, fewer reps, heavier weight and for tone/endurance, lighter and more reps.
Again, from what I remember, 3 sets of 8-12 reps for each exercise is the workout. Escentially, the idea is that the muscles from the first exercise are rested before the next set comes around.
Aside from that, you should make sure that all the muscle groups are exercised.
Also, you could do, upper body one day and lower body the next. If you do this for 6 days then a day of entire rest, it'd make an even week. Or do both upper and lower mon-wes-fri and take the weekend off. Or...
Really depends on your schedule.
For me, I chose my exercises and am still on 1 set. Yes, I'm that out of shape. Probably next week I'll try 2 sets. I do this mon-fri and it doesn't take that long at all.
I'm building up slowly, because I know that if I don't get into a "everyday" routine, I'll stop doing it. So, everyday is more important to me than doing all the sets that I'm "supposed" to be doing. I'm just going to work my way up as my body lets me
And once I get 3 sets ok, I think I'll break out my Pilates for Dummies DVD again.
At any rate, as I think I just illistrated just how far I am from I am from my long term goal, I'll go to bed now. Hope that was somewhat helpful...
Good luck and g'night

Well, I will be going to the gym again today. Arms are still a bit sore from the workout Monday. Must have overdid the weight a bit.
My goal weight is 200 lb. I have a ways to go.

We all have to start from somewhere
Perhaps take it a bit easy today, yes? No-one here wants you to get hurt
