Oh My
Just a note to let you understand just how far out of shape I am….which will just make my comeback that much sweeter.
I am following a simple circuit workout:
- pushups -can’t do these because of shoulder issues
- Squats
- bicept curls - with dumbell at 25 pound
- squats
- seated dumbell rows 25 pound
- walking lunges for 5 min
- triceps dips - shoulder problems prevented me from doing these
- upright dumbell rows - 25 pound
- lunges with step
- crunches - 7 min
I did one set of 15 for each of these that I could or for the time listed. There was no pause in between sets and no weight was added unless noted.
I failed to complete this simple routine. The leg work killed me. Just pushing my own weight had me gasping for air. Form was lost in the first set of squats.
I should have warmed up a little bit before doing this, but I did not think it would be all that strenuous. I just can’t believe how week and out of shape I am. You would think that I weighed 355 pounds or something.
The upside is that it will be that much more of an accomplishment when I am done. Motivation for today’s effort was brought to you by those in a video that recently came out of long-term comas. My life is cake, may God bless those guys.

Someday you’ll look back and think how simple this routine is and laugh. And your right it will be all that much sweeter.
