This year I decided [like about 14 billion other people] to work out. My end goal was to loose the very small amount of tummy fat that I have and add muscle. I don’t want to be Mr Macho Man or anything, but some good muscle definition and body tone would be great.
My goal is to go to the gym for 1 hour twice a week and eventually ramp it up to 3 times per week. I want to spend 30 mins in cardio workouts and 30 mins in strength. I thought this was a good goal to set and figured that I would be able to meet this goal within 2-3 weeks.
To my suprise I went to the gym tonight [the SRSC] and did a cardio workout for 30 mins [running] and then spend 30 mins total on different strength machines. I worked out my back, then my arms, then my chest, and ended with my legs. I felt a little wobley coming out of the gym, and it really felt great. I was able to meet my goals the very first night! I also lifted more than I thought I could. This is a really great start as with being pretty skinny it was hard mentally to walk into the strength room and sit down on several different machines. I made myself sit in the front of the room also [no hidding this handsome face in the back]. Since I was able to meet my goals tonight it will be much easier for me to go back in on Wednesday and work out for the full hour again. My body will surely be more sore on Wednesday but I can make it though the soreness, the mental act of going is really the hardest thing.
All in all I feel great. I am an amazingly handsome face, charming personality, fantastically intellectual mind, and soon a great looking tone and muscular [though not overly so] body! Go me!
