Today I finally worked up the nerve to start a workout program. I have been underweight my entire life to some extent and even four years in the army didnt help much but to increase my overall endurance and stamina. I weigh 130 pounds now and my first goal is to reach 150 pounds. I "plan" to workout every day for 90 days to see where I am afterwards. I will alternate muscle groups to ensure adequate repair time. After each session I will plan to blog my results. I want a fuller chest, legs, and arms. I will try to follow some ideas I find on here and some of the things I retained from being in the military. Once I reach my 150 goal I will consider joining a gym to define specific areas more and to reach an ultimate goal between 160 and 180. This has to happen.
Along with a steady workout regimen, I have been eating plenty of good things on a daily basis. Foods high in protein are at the top of the list, and I am making sure to include plenty of fruits and vegetables on a daily basis. I work overnights so I end up eating 4 meals a day and get a chance to fit in smaller meals (snacks) at various times to ensure a healthy weight. I will also consume weigh protein in the form of shakes 2 to 3 times a day to help the repair process after intense sessions.
Lets see how this goes.
Today I focused primarily on the chest and a little on the abs near the end. I simply did 4 sets of 25 with about a minute of rest in between. I then knocked out 1 set of 50 sit ups. In between the sets of pushups I ran in place with 10 pound free weights with my forearms parallel to the ground. I made sure I stretched before and after the entire session. I need to make sure I am drinking more water during the day.
