Shout Out......
So Andy and I (check out his blog!) have been conversing via email for the past few days and he's really got me thinking about working out. Well, not just working but creating a routine and actually sticking to it! Thanks Andy!
In the past I have come up with these crazy 5-7 day a week workouts. I was pretty much setting myself up for failure because I know myself, and I'm never going to stick to a crazy schedule like that. One day when I don't have to work full time maybe, but definitely not now.
I'm thinking, just like I told Andy, do make a routine to work out Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Each day do 45 minutes of cardio, except on Wednesday just do 15 minutes to warm up and spend 30 minutes doing some kind of weights. I'm kinda of clueless when it comes to weights, I don't want to bulk up. Please give me any advice you have!! I REALLY need it.
On a completely different note......
I wanted to share this song with you call "Roots Before Branches" it is by this duo called Room For Two. I heard the song the other day as credits for a movie rolled. I think it's awesome and it really spoke to me and I wanted to share it with you. Hope you enjoy! http://www.roomfortwo.com/music/all/roots_before_branches-2

Trying to balance work, family and exercise is tough. Hope you find a program that works for you.
Hey you- sounds like 3x a week is much more doable and realistic.
As for weights I find You Tube helpful. That way you can see proper form and technique. The basics with weights is that when you start you want to focus on slow, controlled movements and work with a low weight (3-5 lbs) and make sure you keep your belly "zipped". Other than that it's really all over the place. My first good weight routine came out of a self magazine, they have good workout suggestions, imho.
Good luck!
And you won't bulk up!
hey another good site for weights is www.sparkpeople.com
