Feb 14, 2010 - Sunday

So, these are usually done on Saturdays but I got lazy yesterday and didn't do it. This week was a great week for working out. Pretty much went to the gym everyday. Basically we alternate Cardio and Lifting. I kicked ass one of the days doing half hour on the elliptical and half hour on the stair stepper.

Lifting wise, I am doing just your basic lifting, mostly on cable machines. I have been working on strengthening my shoulder, so I don't want to do heavier weights yet. I feel that working on the basics like low weight and tbody technique is better than heavy weights. I learned some more good shoulder exercises too. I can go into those some other time. I am just looking forward to having a healthy shoulder. Its sucks feeling like its going to fall out when I reach for something in the fridge. (Which has happened before). Its getting stronger though! Anyways, see below for my new measurements and this weeks video.

Oh, I pigged out and I am mad about it.

Introduction

Welcome everyone to my very first ever blog! I am doing this blog in order to keep track of my fitness. Every Saturday, along with my wife Fallon, I am going to be posting a new video with new body measurements. We felt this would be a fun way to track our progression.

A quick bio; I am 31, live in S. California with my wife Fallon and our Italian Greyhound, Pavi. I have been fairly active for the most part but have never been into fitness, if you know what I mean. We have been working out consistently for about 3-4 weeks now, about 4-5 per week.

One personal goal is to get back into wrestling shape; however, a major setback for me is my shoulder. I busted it up in high school from wrestling and it never really healed right. Even surgery didn't seem to heal it 100%. Since then it has been weak and would pop out from time to time. This held me back physically and mentally. I really loved competing and miss it very much. So, my goal is to get my shoulder healed and start wrestling Freestyle and Greco Roman again. With the help of a physical therapist, I am fixing my shoulder up, hopefully I will be 100% again! Or at least 90%.

Every week I will be posting a video or blog of some sort tracking my progression. My initial measurements are below. Thanks for stopping by!
