This is an update on my newfound exercise craze. It is crazy for me since I am not in great shape I am in need of improvement in all areas-after I did a couple days of this cardio intensive exercise-I am going to say I am putting that on the back burner for awhile since I think I got shin splints on both shins so I need to not be so enthusiastic and be aware of my state of fitness for exercises that are of  full body nature until I get more conditioned or maybe do one set instead of three and I would have done if I did run out of breath. I have keep telling myself that I need to take baby steps not giant ones. I will get where I think I want to be soon.

I am eating better I am not imbibing on cola or chips as much I am keeping track of that by logging on fitday.com and recording my daily diet and it is working out good so far. I am in need of a good weight scale since my scale is inoperable at the moment. But I do look and feel lighter. I need to see the actual numbers which only a scale can provide and I can record and see the progress. I will probably end up getting another scale. Until then I have to depend on my observation and how my body feels from day to day.
I will close this chapter until next update
Until next time

I just found out about this exercise that is a great strength and endurance exercise-cardio intensive as it may be-it seems prisoners used it to get in shape while incarcerated in their small cell. They are called bur pees and was introduced to the general public by the infamous Mike Rowe of the "Dirty Jobs series on Discovery Channel. I happened to come across it when I was surfing the you tube videos on Mike Rowe episodes. Here is the link
