Nice post P. One of very few that makes sense here.

Tough love, maybe, maybe not? Seems to me alot of people like to jump on a bandwagon and try to knock someone for really no reason. He is posting his true story. Hes very overweight. That takes guts alone!

I dont want to run you off, because this maybe a place that could really help you get your life in order. Before starting any type of workout, I would definitly get an ok from your doctor. Being that overweight is bad, but not knowing if you are simply in well enough shape could actually make things that much worse. Secondly dont overdo it! Take it nice and slow. My advice to you is fork out some money and see a nutritionist. Get some things together so you have an idea on what to do here. I know you think you are in the dark, but there is very good help out there.

Best of luck to you. Most of these guys with the comments they posted are good people, but sometimes people get caught up in these forums and begin to pitch in a comment here and there and lose site of whats actually important and thats a person's health.

Best of luck to you and yours. Be safe and be careful.

I strongly agree with what you said. Being overweight is like writing a ticket to health problems you never knew existed. years ago, i was a fat bastard and made the decision to do what needed to be done. It was tough but it sure as hell outweighed the negatives. I only had to think about what my uncles died from to realize that I was headed in that direction.

hey yall,
thanks for the mature comments. im feeling a lot better about myself. I also have news, I will no longer be working 2 jobs. I applied to a company that hired me making good enough money, so ill be cutting down to 1 job. now ill be able to go to the gym.

I know i am very overweight but i always played basketball all my life. so exercise is not something new to me. i plan to start doing cardio. and i will post up a little routine.

Consistency is the single most important thing you need right now ... besides a realistic plan. Post in this thread or start another one ... but use something here as a journal. Post daily.

Congrats on the new job FS .. great news

5-10 minute warm-up
30 minutes of cardiovascular activity at 55%-75% of predicted maximum heart rate**
5-10 minute cool-down
10 minutes stretching
1 set of 8-12 repetitions::
Leg extension
Leg curl
Chest Press
Shoulder Press
Seated row
Bicep curl
Tricep extension

Days 2,4
5-10 minute warm-up
30 minutes of cardiovascular activity at 60%-80% of predicted maximum heart rate**
5-10 minute cool-down
10 minutes stretching
3 sets of 15-20 repetitions:
Abdominal crunch
==================================

BoneCrusher · 03-21-2007, 02:53 PM

Did you get a check-up from the doc yet? After you do that ... then I'd look at a gradual build up from your daily sedentary lifestyle.

The first week:
5-10 minute warm-up
10 minutes of cardiovascular activity at 55%-75% of predicted maximum heart rate**
1 min head check and lite hydration ... be careful of extreme dizziness
10 minutes of cardiovascular activity at 55%-75% of predicted maximum heart rate**
5-10 minute cool-down
10 minutes stretching
Re-hydrate

30 minutes right out of the gate is a little much IMHO. You're not in a hurry ... you're trying to build up to your goals. See how this feels and watch your heart rates AFTER you've stretched and cooled down. Look for abnormalities when at rest after you've cooled down to be sure you are not getting into trouble there, then start increasing your activity.

If the day after isn't a pain beyond your ability to endure then kick it up a notch. Remember it's not just the day of the work out you need to take into account, but the day after as well. You need to be able to function the next day. You have an entire lifetime to enjoy getting and keeping your self in perfect shape.

No rush ... be safe FS.

You're goin' during a busy time of day ... take your ipod and jam out while you work the tread. Expect the same reaction in the gym you got here at first. After people see you're serious it will swing the other way. FS we all love to see overweight people shake off the extra weight and get into a healthy state of living. Seriously ... it is awesome to see someone on this journey. SO many people with this issue want to lose the pounds but never make the long range effort and wind up dead because of it. John Candy and Chuck Farley are a few well knowns that died young from being obese. You're not going there ... you're going to live to be a fit and sassy 90 year-old

juggernaut · 03-21-2007, 06:47 PM

hmmm...I just wanna be a dirty old man...and grope the boobies on the cute young nurses in the nursing home...and get away with it because I'll be like 100 billion years old.
