[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 7649861, member: 19675"] I've struggled with my weight my whole post-pubescent life. Part of it is my penchant for sedentary activities (oxymoron alert!), part is genetics. Even at my peak of fitness, when I was a real gym rat, etc., I carried 193lbs on my 5'7" frame. And yes, I was fit: 300lb+ bench press, 3 leg-press sets of 10 reps at 700lbs, and [I]juuust[/I] capable of touching the iron on a regulation-height basketball goal. (According to my MD, I literally [I]am[/I] big-boned, with about 10% more bone & muscle mass than average: at that point, my [I]0% [/I]body fat weight was 170 lbs- more than 20lbs more than is normal for someone with a healthy body fat ratio that height.) Its not that I don't like physical activity, its just that other things intervene and take priority. Not an excuse, just a fact. This year, though, marked the third consecutive year I had put on weight- something I hadn't done since I was a teenager. So I have resolved to do something about it. But I couldn't just jump into the same old stuff I was doing a few years ago. My schedule is different, along with so many other things. And if you've been away from exercise too long, you can kill yourself by ramping up too quickly. That's how Patrick Nagel died. So, what to do? Well, I have a pair of Border Collies who were not getting enough socialization or exercise. Killing 2 or 3 birds with one stone, we've gone on daily walks of 1 mile + for 38 of the past 42 days. IOW, my recent exercise regime has been working against the forces of a 2 dogpower, 8 paw drive engine with terrible controls for 20 minutes a day. While I have improved the tone of my leg muscles, its our older dog who has seen the most improvement: her harness is no longer tight and in need of letting out, but instead, now has at least @ 3/4" of play where once there was none.
