Jetta Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I've decided to join a gym and get my fat butt back into shape. I'm going to begin working out like I used back before I had kids nearly every day 1-2 hours. And I'm starting off with a 7 day pass so I can find out how much it costs and stuff like that. I finally paid off my tax debt and will use that money towards a gym membership, since I'm not used to having that $100 for the last two years it makes sense. Okay so I tried a diet pill and have become light sensitive so either it's the pill or my eye infection is back. Either way I stopped the pill. I may supplement with Alli, since it's FDA approved instead of the one I was using Slimquick. But I'll just have to see how it goes, I lost weight without pills in the past I'm sure if I put my mind to it I can do it again. Tomorrow afternoon is the start of a new me. I won't share what I weigh but I need to lose a minimum of 50 lbs. and would like to lose more. How about some work out tips. I prefer nautilus because I see improvements in the amount of weight I can life, it's a mini motivator. But I know cardio is recommended. The other motivator is muscle burns fat and I want to build up my muscle. Well wish me luck. I feel really good about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoneCrazy Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Try not to over work yourself, i've done it were i've hit the gym for about 5 days a week and soon after i felt sick and it came as a pattern work few days hit the gym hard and then, whamm you feel sick again.

Jetta Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 Okay maybe I'll start off a little slower, workout with weights one day, swim the next, work out weights, swim, etc. That way I'm not totally overdoing it. Swimming doesn't burn much for me, probably not active enough, but it's fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xShannyx Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Once you get more advance into your workout I strongly recommend interval workouts. link removed I've started to do this and it really made me sweat : ) And good luck with your workout. I started getting serious with my weight loss goal sometime in January and I already fit wayyy better in some pants that were so tight I couldn't pull them up all the way lol Still a little tight around the stomach but it's progress. Hope that inspires you! found something for begginers link removed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoneCrazy Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Just mix things up, weights, cardio, swimming and so forth. Unlike me i just hit the gym and get bored of everything around me and i don't get that sore feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guynextdoor Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 why not try to take some of the classes they offer for starters? Pilates, cardio kick boxing, yoga and work in with weight training and cardio on the other days? My biggest tip is to bring a mp3 player, makes my workout very intense.

Jetta Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 That's an idea, I'm usually pretty bad about the classes though, I'm not so good about following choriography (?sp). I joined fitday today boy is that a wake-up call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
