today is my lower exercise day, yesterday was the heavy resistance work on the bowflex and the stationary bike. I hate that I can not do the bike riding daily. so tempting to get on today.
I had a lighter breakfast this morning as yesterdays was a bit too heavy for me. got my increased protein and a little less carbs. Don't feel so sluggish. Back to the perky me!
Today is the total gym day which I am struggling with. It will take me a couple weeks to really be able to increase my rep's. I am happy doing most of the exercises in two series even if I can't do a lot of rep's in each. One day at a time.
I just hate how much time it takes in my day for so little calorie burn. But it helps me rebuild my overall body condition. That is important too

I don't know how old you are, but I want to recommend a book: Weight Training after 50, by Dr. Wayne Westcott. Here is a link to his biography: http://www.healthy.net/Author_Biography/Wayne_L_Westcott_PhD/77. We were so privileged here at our retirement center (Riverwoods, in Exeter NH) to hear him speak recently. Of particular interest is his method of gauging your fitness level, creating a sensible workout, and determining when and by how much to increase resistance. A marvelous book.

The most important part is to vary the routine... I have that issue to keep motivated.

oh I have plenty of variety, stationary bike and blowflex one day and the new thing on the total gym which is kicking me on the off day. that work is very low calorie burn same as all resistance work. but to build muscle you need that resistance work. and I have been losing fat which is nice. slow but sure. 22 pounds down
