I use this too! It's really helped me a lot with correct warmup weights. I was always doing too much on my warmup sets and getting tired right away

I'm close! age: 25 (26 on Sunday) height: 5'7.5" (my exact height. No joke. Never could quite make it to 5'8") SW: 215 CW:188 GW :140 - 150 (I'll take what I can get!)

Alright, I'm convinced! I will be joining the gym on Monday. Thanks for all your advice, and for saving me from (probably) breaking my face on the ball :laugh:

Would joining the gym now, and using their dumbbells to build my weights up be a better idea? That way I'd at least have access to a bench... Sorry if my original question sounds ridiculous! I genuinely don't know a lot about this stuff yet. Edit: apparently I say 'genuinely' a lot, haha

Joining a gym is an option, and was my plan once I got my lifts up to 45lbs. There is also a tiny, rusty gym at my workplace. However, both of these places only have standard Olympic barbells, and I genuinely CAN NOT lift them for five sets of five. I have been going to the work gym to make attempts at the bar, and I can…

I'm from Georgia, and didn't even realize I had said ''Y'all''! I guess that proves I'm a real southerner :laugh: I'm mostly looking forward to (hopefully!) getting stronger, so I'm hoping that will keep me from getting discouraged. I'm in no rush! ETA...Doozer: thanks for the suggestions! I'll have to look up the dynamic…

I'm 25, and need to lose about 50 more pounds. Add me if you'd like!

I did these in addition to the posted workout for today, and they are fantastic! I don't think I've ever sweated so much doing a workout at home :laugh:

Add me, if you'd like! I'm 25, and have been on MFP for about a month now

Finished! The warm-up video definitely proved I can NOT dance, haha

Done with the beginner exercise for the day! I can definitely tell it has been a whiiiile since I did lunges

Starting Weight: 198 (as of 1/28/13)

Ooo, pick me! Pick me! I wanna try this!

Wow, you look absolutely amazing!
