So, I've been really trying to tackle the fitness thing head on this year and so far so good!
You'll have to bear with me because I'm about to sound like a fitness advertisement:
I've started using the bodybuilding.com app BodySpace, and it has been a great asset. Not only does it come with pre-designed workouts for when you're first starting out and not sure what to lift, it also allows you to create your own! There are days when I really don't feel like doing squats, so I can modify and search for a different lift that will work my quads. I don't have to know what it's called or even necessarily how to perform it. There are videos built in for each workout.
Another nice feature is the "rep-recap" email that I get every week. It summarizes how many times you went to the gym, what muscle groups you worked, how much cardio was performed, and provides suggestions for improving.
This week, the email title was: "This Girlfriend is a Bodybuilding Juggernaut" and boy did it make me smile. (FTR: I'm certainly no bodybuilder!) It is awesome though to actually see the numbers. For example, a gain of 20 lbs to 25 lbs for shoulder press. It really helps keep the motivation level up!
So my friends, there you have it. Go get it, lift heavy, run hard, and make it happen!!
