Introduce Yourself

Krooker2

I turned 60 this March. I am a do-it-yourself person and constantly moving yet I recently accepted the truth I am not as athletic or mobile as I remember. I get up slower and more tentatively. I also have a difficult time taking my training seriously. One workout this week; two workouts last week; skipped all the three weeks prior, etc... I recently stepped on the scales and surpassed 200 pounds - so here we go. I started Saturday, November 3, on a 90-day self-designed program to move this weight around. My six-days-per-week weight training is now scheduled in advance and with a purpose AND I have added the dreaded aerobics. My six-day schedule is push-pull-legs-push-pull-legs alternating light, heavy, light, heavy, light, heavy. I'm happy to explain if this does not make sense. Today, I am adding cycling for 30 minutes after some light push weight training. Oh, BTW, I no longer refer to this as 'diet and exercise'. This is 'nutrition and training'. I already fell the difference. From a nutritional position, I am trying to significantly reduce man-made carbs. and increase my daily protein intake to support the muscle improvement objective. I hardly drink water during the day so this needs to change. My 90-day objective is to lose belly fat, improve my body-fat index and make improvements in strength and agility. After the 90-day program is complete, I will assess the program and make changes to next 90-day program. I am taking a daily picture to see if the 'photo that cannot lie' adds motivation plus to track my expected changes.

I have frozen shoulder (both of them). I find that weight training causes me to wake several times per night with pain so I am open to anyone sharing their success to resolve frozen shoulder. I just began basic stretching so I don't have any results with either shoulder.

Let's do this!
