This is officially the first post (although, the next day — sense the .5), of a new workout. I know “Bowflex, sucker!” Honestly, it’s resistance, and it’s at home. I’m much more incline to work out when I know I have a good machine, at home, to work out on.

Last week, I was randomly browsing Craig’s List to see what’s around. I typed in “BowFlex” and came across a good deal. A BowFlex Sport for only a few hundred bucks, under half the MSRP. Well. Concidering I’ve been wanting to get one (and cancel my unused gym membership), I decided to go for it.

Yesterday was my “official” day of starting out on the BowFlex plan. And yes, I did by the book, too. I hadn’t quite read it yet, but I know enough about working out, I decided to jump into it (I DO plan to read the book, but right now, I just wanted the ramp-up workout plans). I did the first sets yesterday, determining where my strengths were. I did two sets of each exercise suggested, figuring out where my limits are. I have a good idea now.

It felt nice to get out actual weight resistance again. I forgot how rejuv the muscles feel after a good weight workout. Okay, not “good” — it’s still basics — but it was enough!

Like a traditional weight schedule, I plan to life M/W/F, following their lifting plan to a T.

Now, eating plan? hehe, well. That’s a little different. My food intake sucks, and I know it. I’ll work on that later. lol

Yesterday, my stats were:

157 lb. 18.7% bf. (which is actually down 2% from the week before. ha, already got results! lol)
I do have a photo, too. But it’s on my laptop. I’ll update later when I get it re-sized, cropped, etc.

Today, I plan to take a rest, and do some necessary shopping.
