I'm 32 with a 2 year old daughter and my wife is pregnant again. The kids are part of the reason I want to get healthy but mostly it's for me. I've always had a problem with extra fat around the midsection. I have started weight training and biking. I'm looking to reduce my body fat and then start working on building mass. I've always been one of those guys that is too embarrassed to take off his shirt at the beach. I've decided that I'm the only one that can chagne that. I don't know if this is the appropriate place for this but I have a question about the personal exercise program. I would like to change some of the exercises in the program to some that I feel more comfortable with and feel they may work better for me. Is there a way I can add my own or change some of the exercises? Thanks. I look forward to any advice or suggestions any one can give me.
