Welcome To Earth David

Last week I started a new workout routine which I hope will help me get in better shape. So to honor that I decided to post this picture for this weeks Monday Muscle Madness. Hopefully the embarrassment this picture will bestow on me will help to give me a little more motivation to work harder at getting in shape. Yes, I know I don’t look anything like the muscle men I’ve posted pictures of over the last 12 weeks, but I am trying at least.

So yeah, I just started lifting weights last week. I am starting out slow. I don’t want to overdo it too much until I get used to the lifting. I am working out three days a week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Currently I’m focusing on four exercises with my 30 pound dumbbell set. Those exercises are bicep curls, tricep lifts, squats, and bent over flys. I think these are ok for starting out since I get a decent arm workout as well as shoulders and legs.

I have also discovered FitTV which is a channel that broadcasts workout shows so occasionally I turn that on and do cardio workouts, but I’m also going to try keeping up with my walking routine except I won’t be going out for those long 8 mile walks three days a week like I was doing earlier this summer. The weather is just too hot for doing things like that right now.

So I guess that is it for this weeks Monday Muscle Madness. I promise I won’t horrify you next week with my fat ass again, but I will make it a point to post another picture of my progress in the future. Maybe I’ll do that in another 13 weeks which will be around the middle of November.
