Day 2

1st thing's first. Went to the gym this morning, did 32 minutes on the treadmill, plus some crunches. Burned right around 300 calories...which is extra over what the plan says I'm supposed to burn. I've also already had 16 of my 64 fl. oz. of water. So...I'm in a good spot as a begin my work day.

I've started looking around the web for different fitness sites, to try and find a good fitness routine that will work for me. I have such a hard time figuring out what to do, because I don't have a lot of upper body strength. I tried to do P90X, but the reliance on pull ups killed me, because I felt like I wasn't doing anything on the upper body days, and it was really discouraging. So, I've been shopping different sites trying to find something. Exercisetv.tv, the homepage that is tied into the cable channel of the same name appears to have some pretty interesting plans, with a bunch that fit people in general categories...however, they all cost money, not something that I'm willing to deal with right now.

The following sites have piqued my interest, and I'll probably be setting up something from one of them fairly soon.

fullfitness.net - completely free, only has a few set routines, but the ones they do have look good after a quick glance.

workoutbox.com - also free, with some interesting plans. One that I'm seriously considering.

freetrainers.com - Another free site that gives you a questionaire to fill out, so they can determine the right options for you. I'm going to fill out the profile and see what they give me.

shapefit.com - Doesn't seem to have workout plans (that I can find, anyway). They do have a bunch of exercises, though, and I could easily build a routine from this site's choices. What they do have, though, is a bunch of interesting articles.

oops...never mind...I found them. I was just looking in the wrong place.

So...I figure that I'm not going to start an actual workout routine until next Monday, so that gives me 6 days to figure out a routine that seems like it will be best for me.
