Time to get back into shape
Alright! Time to get back into shape already!
Man, it's been quite some time over the winter since I have done much besides working at the computer everyday. All the good stuff I was doing to take of my health last year seems to be going down the tubes.
I'm looking to get into a cool new active hobby to get me stoked on getting back into shape again.
I'm just wondering what other people are doing to get back into shape since the weather is improving?

How to stay in shape while your sick?
I recently have been battling pretty bad stomach issue and have not had the energy to get much exercise at all. I feel like a lot of the work I put into myself has disappeared over the last few weeks. My energy is low, feel gross and have started putting on weight. I am curious if any one knows of a good + safe way to stay relatively in shape while you are feeling sick?
Starting to notice a difference
Well, its been about three weeks of working out about 4 times a week on average. I have already started noticing a big difference. Its nice being able to see the results right away, it keeps me motivated. I only go to the gym about once a week and the rest of the time I'm either using my free weights at home or biking, walking or hiking.
Now I just gotta lay off those damn good greasy sandwiches from the local coffee shop.
Free weights at home making the difference
So its been a week since I started working out again. I have gone to the gym twice with my friend and went to Canadian tire and picked up a set of weights for 50 bucks for my house. We go to the YWCA were there isn't as many meat heads. Its great going to the gym were you can just relax and take it on casually. Having weights at my house has been perfect. It allows me get in work outs when I don;t have the cash or the time to hit the gym.
