This is a good question and one that interest me. I have been going through a set routine everyday now for about 3 weeks working every body part. This was just to get my body use to lifting again. Starting from the bottom (very light weights) I have made some progress. However, I can tell that I am tired and need to break…

yoga is a possibilty...need modified program because of knees Thanks!

Swimming is definitely a possibility...not too much strain on the knees..Thx

You seem to be exactly where I am. Starting over. It is not easy but I have started at the bottom. I figure weeks from now there will be a big difference. The problem is staying on task. I am looking for someone to compare notes/workouts with so I will stay on task. Being responsible to someone else can be a big boost. I…

The best I ever did was when I had someone with whom I checked in with every day. I would give her my workout and she would give me hers. It was good to compare exercises and we even had a couple of competitions. I would love to have that again... Nothing more than a friend who needs motivating and can motivate.. Male or…

Thanks

try again

I deal with a little of the same problem but mine is about my embarrassing lack of strength. I am the weakest rat in the pack and that is humiliating for an old ex-athlete (college level). Not use to everyone in the gym being stronger...men, women, larger and smaller..... doesn't matter. Coming off of an old injury makes…

Thanks for the tips......I have been cutting it close so I will try to save a few during the day. The juice bar sounds like a good idea.

I know there are a lot of people doing the P90X.

I belong to a gym with free weights and machines.

I feel your pain. I have experienced the same problem although mine is probably attached to the enormous male ego. I literally hate going to the gym because I get so embarrassed. I do feel like everyone is watching but I know in the back of my mind that they really aren't. Still it is hard to overcome. A couple of weeks…

After all of the great encouragement I received on this post, I ventured off to the gym this morning. I was planning on going Monday but made the decision move forward. The gym was packed as I expected. Honestly, I felt like a marshmallow in a rock quarry. I know it is going to take some time to get comfortable and to…

Hi so am I and actually worked on the college level for a while. I am hear for the same reasons. I have really lost a lot of strength and gained weight. I am looking forward to a new beginning. Feel free to friend me if you want!

Thanks for all of the support and advice!! I will go to the gym Monday and take my medicine like a big boy! :happy:

I am so pleased with the response that I have received. This is awesome site and there are obviously a lot of caring and considerate people that use this. Thank you so much for your comments and support!

I went to the gym several weeks ago and this lady in her 60's weighing less than half my weight and at least 10 years older was pumping iron double what I could do. I wasn't so much the gender as it was the size and age. A motivational embarrassing moment!!

Thanks.....can others see the information?

Thank you.....I don't believe you can do this without preparing yourself mentally and leaving your ego at the door. I need to put it all out there for the world to see and get a good dose of humility....that will motivate me.
