preacherman Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 My wife and I have been talking about losing a little of the baby fat that I have retained for the last 30 years.........so we finally joined a gym today. Don't know if this needs to go under the heading of prayer request or stupid act by a stupid preacher? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAhardwoods Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 Re: Joined The Gym preacherman, if i can give you just a tad bit of advice it would be switch up your work outs every few weeks or theres a good chance you will get bored with it and also your body will get use to what your doing. I would suggest getting some type of workout program that you can follow. also make sure you streatch before and AFTER you work out and drink a good amount of water Have gun Cody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkeygirl Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 Re: Joined The Gym Hey, I took an entire class on exercise physiology and we had to design our own training programs so if you need any suggestions, feel free to ask! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billygoat Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 Re: Joined The Gym Preacherman... least wise you've got a great workout partner! Encourage each other, and drive each other to stick with the routine, it makes life much easier. Best of luck and let us know how it's going! We can help hold you accountable if you'd like!!!!!! BTW, wife and I have been diligent in our exercise efforts since the first of the year! She had lost over 15 pounds (not that she needed to), and I have lost about 5 lbs and dropped from 24% body fat to 14%... and still dropping! Best of luck!

Turkeygirl Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 Re: Joined The Gym I would also suggest you combine both aerobic (like running/walking) with anaerobic(strength/weight lifting) exercise. I learned in my class that sometimes doing one but not the other isn't always helpful and doing both helps benefit more of your body:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
