What's this all about?

Some friends of mine at work asked me to write down the exercise program I've been following for the last couple of years. While I was working on that, I thought "Hey, this would be a great blog!". You may or may not agree, but here goes ...


This program is what’s working for me and is the result of therapy I began after my last back spasm, which was probably in 2005. I had lost as much as 30 lbs at one point, but now it’s more like 20 and I suspect that’s because I’m building muscle, although I haven’t had my bodyfat measured in a while.

The goals of this program are:

1. To improve fitness in three major areas:
   
   
   
   1. Endurance
      
   2. Strength
      
   3. Flexibility
      
   
   
2. To be really easy to remember.
   
3. To make you want to go to the gym.
   
4. To grow with you as your fitness level improves.
   
5. To do more good things than bad things.
