I`ve been working out at the gym for the past 120 days. I go each day without missing a beat! My average workout is 1:45. I combine cardio and free weights in my routine.
I`ve given up eating tons of carbs,cut out sugar and watch every food label for caloric intake.
I went from a size 38 to a size 32waist. Better yet I`ve added muscle mass in all the right places and feel fantastic.
My blood pressure is normal,my stamina and physical appearance has taken on a whole new direction.
I fee like Dennis Hopper in the TV commercial where he claims that "50 is the new 40", actually I feel more like 30!
Ten years ago I began toying around with "body building" at first I never gave it much thought! I went through the motions at the gym.
The more I played around with the idea of sculpting my physique the more I realized this is like running marathon.It takes years of dedication and rather than continue I stopped.
In my mind i felt i could never accomplish what I wanted.I simply gave up and discontinued my gym membership.
That changed.Two years ago I began to feel sluggish. I had arthritis in my aching fingers and went to both a chiropractor and acupuncturist to stop the swelling.
My entire body was off kilt! Approaching the age of 50, i decided I needed to slow down the aging process.
I began to consult a nutritionist, joined a gym and took up free weights.
I started buying magazines like "Muscles and Fitness and Flex" to fully understand what type of a workout regime I needed to be on.
I toyed around with pushing heavy weights because I believed I needed to see "fast results",I miscalculated and hurt my shoulder from the heavy lifting.
Defeated again, I was determined to get this right!
I have a Realtor in my office who is a personal trainer, he`s in fantastic physical shape! Rather than continue hurting myself I asked him for some advice.
He took me under his wing and i`m finally seeing the results of my hard labor. I`m doing things i would never do beatingike eatting "Protein Shakes, eggs,fruits,vegetables and a having a good night sleep each night",combined these changes have helped me tremendously.
I take a slew of different vitamins, have seen muscle growth and my abs are starting to show once again.
It`s never to late to admit to yourself ,it`s time for a change!
Take command of your health!
Congratulations on your progress. Its not always easy to make changes. A lot of what we do is habit what we eat, exercise, sleep and so on.
