Proxximo Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Hello all,My name is Dave, Im from a small town in Ohio and I am getting back into my old fitness mindset. I turn 30 at the end of this month and decided it was time to start taking my health a lot more seriously. As a younger man I was into martial arts, hiking, running, SCA battles, and generally pretty fit and energetic. Then a couple years back I went through a divorce, lost my job, and lost myself for a while. I gained quite a bit of weight and have been making excuses for far too long about getting back into shape. My goals for the next few months are as follows:-Lose at least 30 lbs-Learn some basic Parkour-Get back into martial arts training-Live life again!!I have always been a very thin and active guy and the way I look now makes it hard for me to enjoy my life. I refuse to live like this anymore!My plan is to start slowly by taking on the Angry Bird workout and doing a lot of small exercises in my cube at my new job Im glad to be among others like myself here and I am very glad that I found this site! ~ProxximoPower is not defined by striking hard or often, but striking true!

CakeBanisher Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Welcome, Dave! So sorry about everything you've gone through these past couple years. Good goals - I like that last one Sometimes I loose track of that one, so thanks for reminding me. Best of luck to you! One day, your heart will stop beating, and none of your fears will matter. What will matter is how you lived. -Henri Junttila My current challenge Link to comment

JediNickD Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Thanks for the welcomes! On day three now of my new fitness plan and I am soooo sore! I didnt realize just how out of shape I was! Does anyone have any good ideas for sore joints? (especially ankles!)Ice for 20 minutes and stretch or roll it out throughout the day, especially before and after workouts. The soreness will pass after your first couple weaks. Your joints just need to get use to the workout.Oh, and welcome to the rebellion!
