I’m still chugging along. It’s a bitch sometimes but I’m am seeing results. Tomorrow morning I will complete the third week. I will not step on a scale again for a long time – I weighed in after the first two week and I had gained a pound!!! I am more solid now though, I am changing. One pair of gym shorts I was wearing on week one…I can’t use them anymore, they start falling off.

OK…..alnorth….I really hope you are a young dude talking about heart rate of 170….either you are young or I have my heart rate calculation way off! I need to know if I’m doing this right. Very important!
I have been using this formula…..220 – age times .65 for low end and 220 – age times .85 for high end. I’m 47. My low end is 112 and my high end is 147. I frigging LIVE in the 150’s. I just can’t help it. Am I calculating this right???

Buehler445 - by the time I’m thru the “warmups” and get to the stretching….I don’t think it’s a joke. Sometimes I can’t even hold the positions as long as they can. Keep doing it! Don’t skip it. I’m sure it will help you avoid injury.

Chiefs1968 – keep going! Who cares if you miss days…keep doing it. It’s GOTTA make you better. Better….stronger....FASTER! (can anyone identify that tv show?)

My immune system is ASS. I usually get sick when starting out on a physical fitness odyssey. I’ve been taking a daily vitamin and popping some airborne at the slightest hint of feeling bad. So far so good. Painful as it is sometimes….I don’t want to get derailed. Also another thing I started doing….drinking a protein shake after the workouts. I’m feeling pretty good.
