Hey, guys! I'm in between jobs at the moment. I don't have enough money to sign up for the lifetime membership at the moment. I'm really bummed about that, because it seems like there is a TON of stuff that could be very helpful to someone like me. I'm actually seeing someone about a job next week, so hopefully will be able to join the ranks soon. I'd love to delve into the material available here. Anyway, that being said, I was wondering if there are any cheap/free fitness solutions until I'm employed? I'm currently doing one of the things I got in the emails that get sent out. Here's my routine: Go for a short run/fast walk, about 10 minutes, to warm up. Are there better ways to warm up? 20 squats 15 push ups (trying to get to 20) 15 lunges (trying to get to 20) 15 rows (15 lbs dumbbell) 30 second plank 30 jumping jacks Repeat Step 2 (trying to be able to do this 3 times in a row)So, that's what I've been doing. I currently weigh 208 lbs.; I was 215 before I started this routine. I'm not sure what my goal weight should be. I'm about 5' 7'' tall. I think I would like to be around 180. I'm trying to lose fat and gain muscle to get a toned/fit look. But I'm completely new to the workout world. The most I did was soccer in high school. I think I've kept the same amount of muscle since then but added a lot more weight to carry around. I'm sorry if this isn't the right place to post. I'm still learning! I'm posting two photos of myself so you know what I have to deal with. I would also welcome any tips on burning through leg fat so it doesn't look like I'm packing pillows in my pocket. Thank you so much for your time!
