Migueljr Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Hello Everyone,This is my first ever Training Journal so it may not be the best detailed journal at first but i hope as the month goes on that i will get better and better at this. The first few weeks i may not do much because i have not really exercise or worked out much. Also i have some health issues that will not let me do much. I have pinched nerves and use a cane to walk. As my health gets better i hope that i can start to do more and start lifting weights. So i weight myself and my start weight is going to be 348.6 pounds What i plan to do for the first week will be:-Stretch for 20 mins.-Walk for 30 mins around the block.-Dance to music for 20 mins.-Stretch for 20 mins.-If not in pain from my pinched nerves will to try lift some light weights that we have at home. So this is what i will start out with and i hope to add more to it as i start to feel better. If anyone can advice any other things i can do that will not put to much stress on my nerves and lower back for right now i would like to hear from you. Thanks every one and i hope everyone has a happy new years, and a great 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Migueljr Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 So today was my first day of doing what i set to do. Since i worked today i changed it a bit to still work out for me. -Stretch for 20 mins-Since i do a lot of walking at work i counted that as my 20 mins of walking. -Did 30 mins of dancing to music on the radio.-Just stretch again for 20 mins-Tried doing some push ups and sit up with out stopping.*15 push ups*6 sit up (started to feel pain in my lower back to be safe i stopped.) It is nice to have this log because i feel that i have to do the work in order to post something on here. Till tomorrowMiguel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amandagracewing Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Hi Miguel, This workout is great. Although you weren't feeling awesome about some stuff I love that you worked out! That shows dedication and consistency! I admire that so much about you! How was your day today? How are you feeling? Remember everyday is a day you are closer to your goal. Each little thing you do is a step closer to where you want to be! It seems far away now, but in a month from now you'll look back and see how much you've learned and grown and it's only going to get better and better! Keep up the great work!
