Pretty sure this is the 3rd time I've posted here, but here goes.

 

I've been struggling to get off the ground for a while now with a workout routine. In the last 6 months I've kept a pretty healthy diet and kept off any serious pounds, but I want to finally get into shape. This time I'm positive I can do it because I've finished my undergrad work since my last attempt and I'm definitely not going to grad school for some time. The weather is finally picking up, and without school work I have a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. This past week, I've been doing precursory workouts to make sure that I won't be cripplingly sore when I start working out regularly, I dug my bike jersey out of the closet, and I've been putting my old workout playlists back on my phone.

 

I'll be doing body weight exercises from home and biking regularly. I might even take up running again on rainy days. I'm also going to focus on my core this Summer, so if anyone knows some good core exercises that are body weight only, I'd appreciate it. Also, any new workout music recommendations are also welcome. Anything that'll get me pumped and isn't too 'top 40' will definitely be considered for my regular rotation.

 

Thanks guys, and I'll see you in the gym- er... forums.

why running on rainy days?

I usually try rain as an excuse *not* to run :P

 

as far as body weight exercises go... there's a beginners routine posted on here somewhere.

I'm trying convict conditioning myself.  Even though I don't know much about the subject but what he writes feels like it makes sense.

I've only just started though, so I couldn't tell you if it really works
