Didn't do it

I was suppose to work out today, but I didn't. I was so hungry so I had 2 lunches, and I ate a huge chocolate at night. I feel so guilty that my work out tomorrow will be ten times tougher than ever.
Trust I will NOT give up

the very last minute post

Hey guys! It's 6:00 AM Wednesday!! I am writing a post before class so I don't miss the deadline for the week!
Today, my schedule is so packed, but nothing will stop me from working out. I learned that one hour a day doesn't hurt.
Anyway,
See you in class!!!

Easy Home Exercises

Hey everyone,
Today's work out involved creativity, since I could not make it to the Gym. There is one important method of intervention that public health professionals seem to forget, what I like to call : the Easy Home Exercises or EHE. EHE's are simple exercises that anyone, at any age, and almost in any physical conditions can do, and get calories bunred, and muscle built. step 1: drink one cup of orange juice. step 2: 30 minutes after drinking, start exercising at home for 30 minutes only. step 3: eat one serving of healthy food, rich in protein, and super-low in fat. when it comes to step 2, what I did was the following:
- 3 sets of 20 regular push ups
- 3 sets of 20 push ups with hands in the middle under the chest
- 3 sets of 20 push ups special for the sholders
each set is followed by 15 set ups, and a resting period of one minute.

after this EHE I was sooooooooooo sore, but it was one of the best work outs ever! If you are unable to do regular push ups, I recommand that push ups with knees touching the floor. you can also put your hands on a chair, and do push ups easier.

Concerning my last work out

Ok to be totally honest with you, my last work out was not fun at all... I have no idea why I felt that way, but it was more like "Oh... today I need to work out my arms... ok...? so...? hmmmm"
Any suggestions to make my work out a little more entertaining?

An ew Beginning

Hi guyes! I just recovered from my back pain. I know that I have not posted anything last week, ans that's because I have not been following my goal due to this back pain. But guess what?? I spent today 2 hours working out and I felt all new again! my body weight hasn't changed, and I already went from 152pounds to 155 pounds. I still need 2 to 3 pounds, and I'll be totally satisfied.

Back Pain!

As you all know, my goal has always been to gain a few pounds of muscles. This in fact involves undergoing serious heavy weight lifting. It has been great for me until 2 days ago, when I tried the so called "dead lift" and had one huge back pain that is still killing me! I have gained 2 pounds until know, and I feel very proud. I still have 3 pounds to go, and I don't want such a obstacle to stop me. It has been challenging due to that back pain, but I am sure I can find specific exercises that won't bother my back. Once my back feels better, I will make sure that I buy this special belt for weight lifting, and start the dead lift at a low weight and increase the weight gradually.

I hope this would be a good plan to face the challenge!
