On my first day working out,I saw that there was a step class after work, so I decided to attend and get my cardio for the day. The class was a bit intense, and I was one out of only three men that were there. I learned right away, that this was a but much for my first day, but at least it was a start to a new beginning. The class lasted an hour and by the end, I was drowning in sweat.
The second day came after a long day of work and I finally met my personal trainer. His name is Seth and he seemed really cool. He took my measurements and I found out that I am 240 lbs with 28% body fat and have about 66lbs of fat on me. So after warming up he showed me a couple of machines and floor exercises that will help me in my journey to lose weight and gain muscle. First was to stretch, then we worked on Quads, Back, Biceps, Shoulders, Pectorals, Triceps, Hamstring, and Abdominals. It was the resistance training machines at first, and then I will continue tomorrow with cardio and Friday with Seth again.
Thought of the Day: Health and Money.
I want to think that if you are unhealthy, you would do as much as you can to become healthy. Obesity is becoming a problem in the America and an unhealthy problem that leads to serious health problems such as heart disease and stroke. So between a trip to Paris vs. working with a personal trainer twice or three times a week, I decided that my health, no matter what the cost to fix it, would be the better choice. If it was my choice I would have both but because I don't have much and don't make much money, that was the ultimate problem. Unfortunately, it seems like to lose weight, you have to adjust your lifestyle and of course your eating habits. No more dollar menu burgers and greasy treats, and hello to the protein shake.
