[QUOTE="bytor4232, post: 4095961, member: 39692"] [b]Where I am[/b]. Obese. I weigh about 260 lbs. I blame my choice of profession, computer systems engineer. I sit all day, and then sit all night because I loves my tv. [b]Exercise[/b]. I've been practicing martial arts for the last 14 years. Kung Fu (Mantis, Snakefist, Nothern Shaolin) and Tai Chi mostly. I'm currently without a master, have been for about 8 years, so I practice what I know. However, I don't have the time to devote to the conditioning training that I would like to do, so I have to cross train. I did a lot of research, and while at a discount exercise shop, I discovered the most awesome exercise aparatus ever, Medicine Balls. I didn't like the price however, so I only picked up a 4lb and 6lb medicine balls, and made 10lb and 20lb with basketballs, tire patch kit, a funnel, sand from home depot, and goop. Been working them for a couple of weeks now between martial arts exercies, and I've never felt better. I highly recommend medicine balls for your cross training needs, and you don't have to spend hundreds either. I only spent around 35 total for four balls. The exercises are remarkably easy, and they really exercise the entire core. [b]Nutrition Plan[/b]. I'm avoiding red meat, and eating more veggies. When I have to eat fast food, I pass on the fries, and get a salad. Also trying to drink more tea and avoid soda as much as possible. I dropped 10-15 lbs in a month following this regimen. [b]Goal[/b]. To be healthy. Fitness has always been a hard quest for me to follow given my age (35) and profession. Overall, I would like to weigh about 200lbs. Once I get there, I will re-evaluate my health, build, and muscle mass and decide on a path at that time. [/QUOTE]
