Riser Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Hey everybody, I'm really excited to be joining the rebellion! Just a little about ,me, I'm 23, in college and have realized that I'm not happy with the way I look and feel and am ready to do something about it. Back in high school I played tennis for all 4 years and despite a horrendous diet, was always in decent shape. After high school, my small college didn't have a tennis team and so I got kind of lazy. And as college goes I started eating out more and drinking waaaay more than I should have in my first 3 years. As of September 2012, I was drinking a 30 rack of beer by myself in less than a week. This ultimately led to an injury to put me in the hospital and physical therapy for 6 weeks. That was a major wake up call for me. I took a good look at myself and was not okay with what I had become. Since then I have severely cut back on my drinking (I still enjoy a cold one every now and then), and stopped eating out so much as a start. From here I want to cut out fast food completely and get back into working out. We've made mistakes that we can't change; but there's still time to start again. Link to comment
Laureleye Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 I'm sorry you had to have such a painful wake-up call; but I'm glad that it did wake you up. Steve says "you can't outrun your fork", so cleaning up your diet is a great way to start. Do you have something in mind for a workout plan? Do you have some short-term goals in mind? I really recommend joining our current challenge; it's already started but still has about a month to run. That's plenty of time to build some habits. Good luck and welcome to the rebellion. (PS I played tennis in HS too...but I was so bad...but it was better than PE class). The hardest part of the workout is lacing up your shoes'"10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | Current Challenge |INTJ | MFP | FitBit Link to comment
Riser Posted January 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Thanks Lauerleye! For the workout plan I am going to start doing Steve's beginner body weight workout. As for short term goals I want to be able to move up to the advanced body weight workout in a month. We've made mistakes that we can't change; but there's still time to start again. Link to comment
JessOfAllTrades Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 The beginner body weight workout is a great starting point. Have you looked into the different guilds yet? Storytelling Rebel | Blog | Twitter "“You've seen my descent, now watch my rising." ~ Rumi Link to comment

Since you only do strength training about 3 days a week, in a month, you'd only get in about a dozen workouts.

Jakob Kopfeld Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Hi Riser! Welcome to the Rebellion. Losing weigth is 80% diet, so if you manage to clean up in that department (one step at a time, over time it will sum up) you're on a good path towards looking good. Appearance is a consequence of fitness, this is where the other 20% of working out comes in. Beginners Bodyweight is a great place to start, but you shouldn't underestimate it. If you execute it clean, it gets actually hard to do. Best of luck with reaching your goals!
