This isnt quite the body work everyone is expecting... this is about me getting back into shape.
A little back story: As a kid I spent almost every second of daylight playing outside. I alternated playing soccer and baseball for years. I played tournament paintball four times a week...Then I joined the Navy and and became what we call "The 3 mile Club." You see, in the Navy to maintain fitness standards you have to do a certain amount of sit-ups, push-ups, and run 1.5 miles; you do this every 6 months. So... if thats all the exercise you do, then you run 3 miles a year. Anyway... thats my life.
I didnt just quit doing things, I kind of tapered off. I was doing Jui-Jitsu and backpacking and then things fell apart.
Anyway, now things make me winded, I have stupid love handles and I cant even lift my own weight (pathetic).
Now, unfortunately I dont have a lot of money-thats why my build thread has stalled a bit- but I plan to get back in shape for the New Year. I know I have a very little amount of motivation so I need to start slow and build up to being fully healthy. Since money is tight, the first few things Im doing is this:
1. Drink water (I literally drink no straight water. 98% of all liquids I drink is Coke)
2. Daily multi-vitamin
3. C25K
So I figured if I made a thread I would stick with it. And along with everyones tips and tricks I could get back in shape. Ultimately, Id like to get back out on the trail for more overnight backpacking trips as well as hit the mat again to continue my BJJ training.
TL;DR: Im a fat slob and would like to get back in shape. Need help.
