What are some of the goals you're working toward? How did your first workout go? Well thank you! My current goals are to be able to do pull ups and to lose some weight. My first workout went well. I did my second workout today which also went well! I'm just taking it slow to start because I've burned myself out before doing too much too fast, but I'm feeling good and having fun with the small victories so far. 2 Quote Link to comment

And very wise of you to know not to start too fast - I may or may not have had to find that out the hard way too. What were your first two workouts like? Like what did you do? I don't have the Academy, so I'm very curious!

I don't have the Academy, so I'm very curious! I kind of modified them to better suit my needs and the time I had before work each day. On Monday I did 3 rounds of: 10 squats 10 elevated pushups 10 bodyweight rows Followed by 3 rounds on 30 secs on, 30 secs off farmer's walks with a 15 lb kettle bell in each hand. On Wednesday I was short on time so I did 3 rounds of 10 Good Mornings in a squat positions 5 Wall walks with my feet kicked out behind me Then I did 3x 20 sec planks. The Academy has been really great for me. Even though I've had it less than a week having spent money on something and the desire to check those quests off has really motivated me. I'm thinking of starting a tumblr just to log and post things as I go. 2 Quote Link to comment

I've found that keeping a log on my thread here on NF keeps me motivated too - way to go getting a strong start!! That's a tough workout!

Diego Moreno Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 What's the academy and where you buy it? I just basically logged in like 5 mins ago Quote Link to comment
meaningofnight Posted June 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 The nerd fitness academy is kind of their main program here at Nerd fitness. You can buy it right through the site, but personally I'd sign up for the email list and follow along with those free ones for a while before you decide 20 minutes ago, Diego Moreno said: What's the academy and where you buy it?
