I joined a gym today and worked out for the first time in almost 2 years. I'm going to start out slow with low-impact cardio and lighter weights so I don't fall off the wagon again.
I'm feeling pretty optimistic I'm going to stick with it!

I sometimes think I should get an exercise routine going, but I just lay down for awhile and the feeling goes away.
Nice. I haven't worked out in forever. I probably should do that soon.
Yep, all the 16 oz curls I've been doing for the past 2 years haven't yielded the results I was hoping for!
I read someplace the gyms take in memberships 10 to 12 times their capacity because they know hardly anyone will be going.
Especially in January.
congrats; go as often as your body allows you to go. Some times it aint that easy BUT you have to keep moving.
My advice: listen to your body, your body will tell you what you can & cannot get away with, on a daily basis.
I do cardio every time I go to the gym; people say cardio is crap but that is crap. Cardio is king. Gotta keep that ticker & those lungs goin'.
Gotta keep things in shape to keep puffin' those great cigars :2razz:
You don't have to kill yourself. Ramp up slowly. Start even 15 minutes of easy cardio, like on a treadmill or an elliptical and really light weights with just 5 reps each.
The trick is not to make yourself so sore that you want to avoid going back.
Makes sense. I feel really fortunate I found a really good gym, $15 a month with no long-term commitment. Even today (a weekend) the place wasn't crowded. I had zero wait getting on any of the machines. The folks that were there were really considerate as well. We all wiped down the machines, benches, and mats with disinfectant when we were through with them.

Doing cardio prior to hitting the weights keeps the cardio going through the lifting. You burn fat and calories better lifting if you hit the treadmill or elliptical first.
I agree about keeping those lungs in shape - I just enjoy a different kind of smoke (it's legal here)
I also need to gain some weight, too. I weigh 89 pounds right now. I went down a few pounds.
wait, you have almost finished your first year of college and you do now own the freshman 15?
don't they make you repeat the year for that kind of failure

Well, I've got a high metabolism, so I think I'm an exception. :2razz:

Ummmm... please tell me you're 3 feet high?
No more Rugby Football?
Thanks for the motivation! I just laced up. Out the front door (before 7:30 pm EDT) I go for a 2.5 mile walk even with wet, boggy weather. Expect me to clock back in about 8:15.
Feel Some Trippy Love!
