Well, currently I am running daily 8 minutes a day. I plan, in two weeks to go up to 15 minutes. When the Y opens on Tuesday, I will be doing 1000 yards in the pool. I also plan to do two miles on the eliptical machine and two miles on the stair stepper a day when the Y opens up.
I was just curious about weight training. Is this a good idea? If so, what exercises should I shoot for? I am trying to get into shape by January 7th. So, that gives me three months. But, I'm really stuck on what to do with weight training. Can someone offer advice please.
Thanks!
Best,
Chris
Allen, I agree, it has been over 20 years since I started weight lifting, and I forget sometimes. :) I think anything you do exercise wise you want to start gradually for the sake of reducing injury, and weight lifting is an area where you can cause yourself permanent injury if you are not careful.
In fact, if you cannot afford a personal training, try and find someone who knows something about form to watch what you are doing. Don't shy away from mirrors, they are there to watch your form, not admire your muscles. :D
