My First Post

Hello Readers!

Any men out there finding it hard to get back in shape?
Or perhaps finding it hard to get into shape for the first time?
You're not alone....
It isn't easy but the temporary discomfort of being a little sore
(Ok maybe a lot sore) can't compare with the increased energy,
health, and confidence found when you're in good shape.
The other benefits are increased uuuhhh bedroom energy, and
increased years of your life!
Good luck on getting there and I'll leave you with some recommendations:

1. If you drink soda, juices, beer or any other empty calories in liquid form. . STOP
Stop right now. The more empty calories you take in the more weight you will lose.
Without lifting a muscle.

2. Start walking / running / crawling a mile everyday for 30 days. 10 blocks, four laps around your common track, 14.6 times the length of a football field. Whatever you do, however you do it, just do it. Its not that far. Stop making excuses, grab your mp3 player and do it, and don't stop either. No matter how slow you move just know what matters, YOU'RE MOVING!!

3. Start out slow. If it's too hard you will not keep it up and it will be counter productive for a few reasons. One reason is you could be so sore the next day that you it will keep you from exercising. Another is you could injure yourself! Also your body produces "stress chemicals" called cortisols which slow your metabolism and increase the percentage of the food you eat that's deposited as fat. So increase the stress on your body slowly to combat these factors.

4. Remember who this is for. This is for you and you alone. So don't worry about what other people may think of you. Like not having a nice looking shirt to wear on your jog. Throw on any old shirt and get out there.
