Exercise...

I workout at 24 Hour Fitness. I have a 3 year pass and well I want to get as much use out of it as possible. So for the past month or two I have been going 5 days a week. In my 3 year deal I got a Personal Trainer with the deal. I'm thinking sweet. I bust my butt hard enough, but what would it be like to have a trainer who knows what the hell they are doing? So i've had this trainer now for about 8 sessions. Either 2 or 3 times a week. Just varies. He really really kicks my ass. I find it ironic that I am paying someone to kick my ass, when he should be paying me since I am allowing him to kick my ass.

Either way, I definitely see results in my diet and from my exercise routine. It hurts like hell, but I can surely see some great results.

One other ironic thing. People in the parking lots driving all around trying to find a spot to park, when instead they could just drive 50 yards further to another parking lot and park there. They are going to exercise, seems logical to me to park a little further away from the entrance. That is unless you just want to save your workout for when you first step foot in the gym. If thats the case I totally understand. No, not really. Still very much confused. =)

I am working out so I can lose 40 lbs, build up my cardio, and come out looking like a top-notch guy when its all said and done. So far I've lost 10 lbs, my cardio workouts are going longer and more difficult and I am starting to get alot more definition on my body. Its the damn stomach though! I work hard at trying to lose the little pot-belly, but its not wanting to go. Waist size is going down, pounds are getting lesser, stomach is getting firmer, burning tons of calories and not taking in as many... But still got the noticable belly. Oh well.

I'm 6'9", 300 lbs. I'm not a little framed skinny tall guy. I'm a big guy. Not fat, just big. Hopefully the more I keep at it the gut will shred away. I'm nearing the 2 month timeframe. I can't wait to see what the 2-1/2 and 3 months will be bringing me.

Finally, I truly believe exercise is both a mental and physical game. I honestly believe its way more mental than physical. You have to actually push yourself to goto the gym. Once you are there, its all just simple routine. At least its that way for me. How about you?
