Am I buffed and chisled yet?

Anni313 Posts: 1,790 Joined: 2004/03/04	2004/03/08, 07:24 AM I'm posting this because I know I can't be the only person struggling to get started with the fitness program. I started this morning and got through ONE set of each of the excercises before I had to take a nap. I feel positively reed-like. Looking forward to day two! Never say die... Anni The Wimp

Beginning is tough, you will find it easier and easier, and the better you start to look, the easier it becomes. It is a lifelong endeavor of good health, not a quick fix like a fad diet. Congrats on your start and decision to do this. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com

Who are fatter/thinner/uglier/musclier in some way- Be inspired by other people who you see training 'well', and right down what you can manage now- your stats, weight, waist, photo yourself, how far you can run and stick it in a draw or put it on your profile... up date this in 3 months time and the new you will be seen in the numbers and picture you give yourself.. Honest it's motivational to measure success.

Another thing, dont go to sleep after working out. Hop in the shower then get online and post what you did. Keep the energy flowing.:dumbbell:
