jbbst13 Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 I was sitting at work one day, feeling lethargic, had no motivation, and just felt blah. So, I typed "workouts you can do at home" into the fancy Google search box, and found a link to a site that was called nerdfitness.com. As my wife professes I'm a nerd, and I was looking for fitness, I figured it would be a good fit! After spending about an hour or so browsing through and reading the articles, I couldn't wait to get home and start the basic body weight work out. Whew. It kicked my butt...I've been sitting behind a desk way to long! I've been doing the workout every other day and while I'm not at the full 3 cycles yet (the lunges are killing me!) I feel much much better! I've also greatly reduced the amount of sugar and carbs i eat, and while I haven't seen a difference on the scale, I feel like my clothes fit me a little bit better already! I've also been trying to learn how to skate well enough to play hockey, and after 2 workouts went to the ice and noticed a big difference, my legs and balance felt much better. The only drawback was they were still tired from the lunges from a few days before...but I expect that I'll get better with those as I go along!I enjoy reading the blogs and seeing all the good information on this site, I'm proud to be a Nerd Fitness Rookie!

Laney Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Haha lunges man! I like the ones where you lunge, then lean forward and put your arms up, they kick my butt! Good luck and welcome Level 3 Time Lord AdventurerChallenge Thread| | Cosplay Blog | | Link to comment
jbbst13 Posted July 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Great...so there are tougher lunges out there? Lol. I have a ways to go before I try that, though I am trying to do more difficult squats. For whatever reason, I'm doing okay with those and the push ups.

Laney Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Oh god yes there is, I tried these ones where you put your back leg up on a chair... I wanted to die. Eventually we will be body weight workout champs though! Level 3 Time Lord AdventurerChallenge Thread| | Cosplay Blog | | Link to comment
