Ok, I'm new to this, of course. I have so many questions regarding eating more healthy and excersizing. I've been browsing this forum for the past two days, and have already found many answers!!! I hope someone can help me getting started. Here is a little background info on me, and also reasons as to why I want to get into shape and eat better.
1. I just quit smoking 5 days ago. I am 32 years old, and have been smoking since I was 12. I've tried quitting several times before, but now I know that in my mind I'm officially done with cigarrettes. Besides, my 4 year old daughter asked me to quit because she loves me and wants me to live a long life. Awwwww!!!!
2. I want to be "fit" and toned. I have a small body frame. Although I have no problem with the body builder type of body, I just don't have the time to dedicate for that and think it wouldn't look right on my small body frame.
3. I'm 5ft 7, and 165 lbs. I have a "beer" gut, or "flat tire" lol! I was always called "skinny Kenny" until my mid 20s. I wore size 27 pants when I was 23, and now wear size 34 pants.
4. I need a workout to start out with that's not too heavy. I want to eventually be able to run a few miles as part of my routine. Also, my stomach and chest are flabby. My legs have always looked great (although stick-ish), even now.
5. Another thing is time. I don't have time to workout 3 hours a day. I am a single father, I work full time, and I also play full time in a band while recording and writing a new record. We gig/tour all the time. I need a workout that I can do while on the road. We're going to be supporting our new record soon, and I won't be able to bring a bench press across the country in a crappy tour bus, lol!
Thanks! And any help would be greatly appreciated!
