For the past couple of months I've been dabbling with exercise. I haven't given up my workouts, but I haven't been following a specific plan. I've been playing some tennis, doing a little kickboxing and managing a home workout a few times a week. The result? A four pound weight gain and the clear first signs of a resurgent muffin top. Clearly, action is in order.
Maybe it's the fact that it's January, it's wet, chilly and dark, but I've been in no mood for cardio. I know I have to do SOME jumping around, but what I really want to do is lift weights. So today I popped in an old favorite of mine - Chalean Extreme - and I knew I'd found a program to stick with over the next few months.
Yes, the workout gear they wear is a little dated (shiny silver belts anyone?). But the program is a classic - slow lifting combined with just enough cardio to keep the body lean and happy. I'm in.
Today was Day 1, Week 1. Tomorrow is Day 2, and I'll be up early to push play. It's nice to feel like I'm back in a workout groove.
