I will have a six pack... I am not here JUST to prove them wrong, but it will be fun!

I am studying and taking a year off for health. I am in to this for a few weeks and the results are incredible. I have ramped up my cardio to 300-400 minutes per week and stayed within the calorie count but for one night. Once my shoulder is better, I will hit the weights again. Getting in shape for a summer on the Cape over the 4th of July. I can do this!

    Wowsers! You are off to a great start! I have a best friend that was a Mr. Universe quite a while ago...the guy still has a six pack and works on it daily and is probably 10 years older than you! You can do it and we will all cheer you on!!!!!

    Welcome!:smile:

    I think people that say "you're to old" just don't want to put the work into it. I get that over arms. Like women over 45 should have flabby arms just because they hit a certain age. Sorry but I'm not buying that.

    next time someone tells you that you just zap them smiley-sw001.gif

    They are usually saying stuff like that because they feel if they can't have it why should anyone else.

    Don't give it you can do it.
