Wish me luck! I've taken up weight training! Don't feel too good about my image (GUT lol). Plus I wanna feel better and look better, most importantly though, I wanna be around for awhile for my son! Be able to whoop him when I'm like 90!!! LOL! Laughing

Best of luck! Just make sure you stick with it and don't expect miracles too quickly.

What arttie said. Start slow, be reasonable and try to get some good advice from people close to hom.

Will you be working out at home or at a gym?

James Hall · Number of posts: 24 Age: 31 Registration date: 2009-03-14

At home right now!!

Is it free weights or a machine? They are very different.

Best thing is to start slow until you know how your body will respond.
Many times, you will be physically able
to do things, but pay dearly for them for a few days because your
muscles were not ready for it, particularly when it comes to legs. You
could even injure yourself, so treat yourself like a "wimp" for a week
or two, until you get your body used to working out.

Since weight loss is a goal, I would also include some form of cardio
(running, jumping rope, etc... It's not as fun, but if you combine the
two, you'll see results quicker.

Also, watch what you eat. Smaller portions, healthier options, and have
an extra piece of grilled chiken instead or an extra baked potato.
Protein is your friend, and carbs and sugars are the enemy. Be sure to drink
lots of water at all times, but especially during and after working
out. Good luck!

Do you have any weight training experience? One tip I have is if it is possible, try to find someone to lift with you. Not only will they help motivate you but can help keep you safe.

James Hall · Number of posts: 24 Age: 31 Registration date: 2009-03-14

Yeah I have some experience. I'm working out alone right now!

**Tall Tyrion** · Subject: Re: Wish Me Luck Tue May 05, 2009 9:28 pm

That's another good reason to take it slow and determine your safe limits gradually. I've gotten in trouble only a few times, but it's a really bad feeling.

Of course, if you have experience, we might just be telling you things you already know.

Like TT said, take it slow at first. You will most likely over do it. But that's the nature of the beast. The best advice I can give is be consistant and BE CAREFUL.

As far as intensity goes pick a weight where you feel your tendons tearing then back off just a little Smile

Hey Stone, He's just getting back into the groove. Give him a week or so then he's be ready for the tendons tearing off thing!
