Every now and then I buy a Men's Health Magazine. There is a lot of cool stuff in these magazines; new work outs, tips on eating healthier, random facts and an article on a actor or athlete that is pretty much totally ripped.... Just like Ryan Reynolds who is one of my favorite actors. Hence the Ryan Reynolds cover for an example.
I have started to work out everyday and have the urge to just feel and look healthier. I find that its really easy to go to the gym and work out my upper body and occasionally my legs, but I struggle working out my core and abs. I try to jump on the treadmill everyday and run a mile or two depending how I feel. I find that I can build some muscle definition pretty quickly and almost see a difference within a week of working out but to trim down and lose some weight is a little more difficult. I get all these random emails from Mens Health with the subject headings like "Add Up To 18 Pounds Of Muscle In Just 2 Weeks" or "Get Six-Pack Abs in Only 6 Weeks!" Pretty enticing right???? I always take a look at them and read through the email and think about buying what they are trying to sell me. I finally gave in and decided to buy some books. Strictly to help me eat better and work on building a stronger core, lose weight, trim down around my stomach and help me understand nutrition better. I am pretty stoked on the books that I purchased and I am anxious to start reading and implementing the strategies.
It even came with a little DVD with some additional excersise programs.
Going to the gym is one of the most popular trends these days and I love going. It makes me feel great, but I want to maximize my body's potential and I think that this resourse will definitely benefit me. I am just under 200 lbs. I have lost about 5 pounds the last couple of weeks. I have a little over 2 months before my wedding and honeymoon....so I have a little bit more motivation to reach my goals.... hahaha
