NellyTheNox Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Hi. I'm a newby to this site, & just getting back into fitness after a break of a few years. I'm 45 (ouch), & feeling weak & unfit. I've decided that I need to make a change, because I don't want to be middle-aged & mediocre!I do all the financials & HR for our business, so I'm pretty desk-bound during the day, & I'm not a natural athlete, (I'd rather be reading a good book), so my natural motivation is not to exercise. Nerd Fitness seems like a great resource to help me to keep motivated.I've recently joined our new local gym, & have started out with one P/T session per week & the rest I'll do on my own. At the moment, I'm hurting all the time, so I suppose that's a good thing (although it doesn't feel good right now).I'm going to start the next 6 Week Challenge, so help keep me accountable.Looking forward to the journey!

NellyTheNox Posted June 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Hey,Wayne! Yes, I agree that 40 is the new 20! My mid 20'a to 30's were spent child-rearing, so now there's a bit of time (&money) for me! A bit different from how things are for the current generation of 20-something's! Good luck with your current challenge. Level 1 Adventurer. Sea Elf. STR 1, DEX 1, STA 1, CON 4. WIS 4, CHA 4 Nox: "The very young do not always do as they are told." Link to comment
