Loading ...I never thought I would think that; looking forward to a workout. But I did. It is frustrating on some levels since I don’t have access to a scale that can measure my weight. LA Fitness has state of the art equipment for working out and targeting every major and minor muscle group in the human body, but they have $9 Walmart scales for weigh-ins??? That is okay, my primary care physician’s scale can’t measure my weight either.
I am going to go to Walmart and get TWO scales and stand on both and add up the totals. Won’t be the most precise but it will give me an idea of what I weigh and some progress feedback.
And don’t let me forget to tell you the time I killed a black bear with my three ring binder.
Start off slowly and work...
Biking, biking, biking.
I have never been able to be in a gym and enjoy working out. But, I have discovered bike riding again after a 20 year layoff. Think a fat guy can’t ride a bike? Some people do but they are wrong. They even have a term for us…Clydesdale (http://www.bikeforums.net/forumdisplay.php?f=248). You need to do it right but I know 400 pound guys who can outdistance me on a bike. It is a pretty low impact for us big guys too.
I have even come to the point where I commute (20 mile round trip) to work as often as possible and doing that takes very little time away from the family. None in the morning as I am up and gone before the family even when driving and maybe a half hour difference in commute time in the evening. And I get almost 2 hours of exercise out of it.
Just a thought for those who cannot motivate themselves to e indoors working out on a stationary piece of equipment.
