Self motivation has always been ONE of my biggest weaknesses. I need some external form... so today my wife and I agreed to start crossfitting with a couple of friends of ours ( Bob and Kerry ). You can check out their blog at http://bobscrossfitblog.blogspot.com
Hopefully their experience with this kind of stuff will alleviate the steep learning curve usually associated with new training programs such as crossfit.
A little about my wife and I...
My wife, Kristie, is in pretty good shape but she complains that she is no where near the shape she was in a couple of years ago. She used to work out religiously every morning before work until she sustained a pretty serious injury to her upper hamstring. Yes, it's healed now and has been for a while but you know how that goes.
Me, I've been a fat @ss for a while now... probably about 10 years or so. Working with computers doesn't help me any. I pretty much just sit around all day at work and exercise my fingers but that's about it. I guess that's probably the story for a lot of people these days. I'm just finally to the point where I NEED to do something to get myself healthy. I have high blood pressure and have been taking medication for that for the last 10 years or so of my life. My last visit to the doctor just last week didn't produce any good news for my future. I now have high cholesterol and my doctor wants me to start taking medication for that if I can't get control of it myself. More blood tests in 6 months. My goal is to become healthy enough that I can keep from taking the cholesterol medication and hopefully get off the high blood pressure medication.
Wish me luck.
