Simon's Progress Report
Posted: Tue May 01, 2012 1:48 pm
Hello I am Simon and 4/30/2012 marked the start of my 3rd week with the Charles Atlas Fitness Program. I cannot believe how strong I feel now. My first day I could
hardly do 10 of the first exercise and already I am doing over 50.
I have been lurking a bit here over the past week and picking up some pointers and suggestions from other posters. For instant. I have been doing the first exercise for 10 reps then I do the second exercise. After that I go back and do 10 more reps of the first. I keep that up through all of the 4 or 5 exercises as I am able. Actually, until yesterday, four sets was my limit on the first but last night, for some reason, something clicked and I had the best workout yet. I was going deeper, longer, and harder than I have thus far. Man I was so pumped. This morning was nearly as good despite a nasty headache (I suffer from chronic headaches and have all my life.)
I have also been including a mid-day cardio workout which is usually walking 2 or more miles.
I am overweight (have been most of my life) and though I haven't seen any drop in weight, I am seeing increased strength and size in my muscles.
I hope to get to know some of you here and pick up any pointers and suggestions.
