Reply With Quoteyou'll be surprised how fast it comes back. try to be patient with yourself and not be discouraged when you don't pick up where you left off the first week or so. if you do that then you'll never get back in it.
make sure you don't overdo it too soon and before you know it - you'll be back in the groove.

Re-Starting Help!
It has been over a year since I have done any serious working out, whether it was running or lifting.
I am starting up again, and would like some suggestions as what not to do!
I used to run 2-3 times a week and lift weights 2-3 times a week.
I never had to worry about what I was eating before, my matabolism would keep me at about 165. I am 5-9. I don't remember what my BF% was.
I am now about 175, and would like to either get back to 165, or turn it into muscle. I think i gained most of the weight in my stomach area.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Blondie, You might want to check out the Body for Life program. check out the website at www.bodyforlife.com. Basically eat 5-6 small meals per day each consisting of a protein and carb and veggies added in as well. You work out alternating upper body and lower body workouts and cardio.
Also, if you start a journal here and post your workouts and diet you will get lots of feedback!
Hope that helps!!!

I can say I dont really dig the body for life work outs. the food part is ok but you should know the basics anyway. I have read several threads about diets here and W8lifter seems to be right on the money, listen to her and look for her posts, the girl has it going on.

I would start by doing 2-3-4 sets per bodypart, unless your pretty young and feel you can do more. Try not to burnout by getting all excited about coming back (partly my problem).
I know I just had to watch overdoing it, since I was not in the kind of shape to do a full workout, but otherwise yes it comes back pretty fast.Last edited by Mudge; 06-12-2002 at 06:42 PM.
