Getting In Shape

Monday I started an exercise program that I found in SHAPE magazine - Four Weeks to a Better Body. Here's how it works - you exercise 5 days a week - then off on the weekend. Each day focuses on different areas of your body. There are 5 days of exercises and then you start over again the 2nd week, etc etc etc. The beginning of each session has you do 20 minutes of cardio so I run in place (don't have a treadmill) and box in place. After that you have a series of exercises that focus on certain areas. Well - let me just say this - my legs are KILLING me.

Ok - let's face it - I haven't exercised in over 2 years - and honestly for about 1 1/2 years I didn't leave my chair a whole lot. It's just been the last few months that I'm doing pretty much anything I want to do and feel great so I thought it was time to start exercising.

Mornings are better for me to work out - get up - get it done!! By the end of the day - when I'm at the shop - the last thing I want to do is go home and workout. Soooooooo - that is my goal - get my butt out of bed each morning and sweat!!

I'll give you an update after 2 weeks and then perhaps after 4 weeks - with my "better body" I might even post a pic. ha ha

If there's anybody out there that wants to join me in this - you are more than welcome.

Later -
