I have decided to hit the gym again once I have fully recovered from Norovirus. I hate how weak my body feels.
I used to go to the gym 5-6 days a week between June and September and I loved how much healthier I felt, the fact I could run for more than 30 seconds without being out of breath was fantastic. The main aim was to loose as much weight as I could before my first vacation/holiday in about 10 years. In September I encouraged a load of my friends to sign up to a new gym with me, I only went about three times then stopped. Not because I didn't like the gym, but because I didn't have anything driving me (holiday) like before. I also started smoking about a pack a day and became more and more worried about going the gym with friends because i'd be coughing and spluttering constantly.
Last time I weighed myself was in November and I weighed 15 stone (210lbs)(At one point about 3 years back I weighed 20 stone ~ 280lbs)....I have not exercised since September and have not exactly eaten a healthy diet but my weight is now 13st 13lb (183 lbs). I think I have lost alot of weight from being ill the past week and a half and hardly eating at all.
I am looking to improve everything. Mainly cardio and looking to be more toned with nice arms. I would hate to have - as one person described earlier - Golfball Abs, i'd rather have flatter abs...eventually. I would love to work towards something like a 10K fun run or something like that by the end of the year, that would give me motivation.
My five day routine in the summer used to just be cardio-weights-cardio-weights-cardio...it worked pretty well for me and I was happy with it. But I feel I need something more structured.
I guess i'll read through this thread more and get some ideas...
