  1. Hi all...

    Well I'm down two sizes since I started and once I hit Phase 2 of Southbeach
    Diet, I stalled. Very, very frustrating.

    I joined a gym tonight with a friend who is a personal trainer who told me
    she'd train me for nothing.

    I am looking foward to this because I need some motivation to keep going and
    I think working out with a friend who knows what she's doing is going to
    help out a lot.

    Just thought I'd share. Wish me luck.

    She put me on a 6 day a week schedule for the first two weeks.

    Sheli,

    First off, congrats on starting a fitness program. I do want to say to make
    sure you don't get in to overtraining mode. This is very common with people
    who are new to working out. It is also one of the biggest causes of people
    quitting their training program. Now realize that many people do train 6
    days a week, but also realize that most of these people started at 3 days a
    week with a rest day in between each workout. Then after a while, you split
    your workout to a 2 day or 3 day rotation and increase the number of
    exercises you do per body part. I'm not in any way trying to discourage you
    from working out, but just make sure that you don't fall into this scenario.

    Good luck to you, and hopefully you'll find that working out can be
    addictive. Once you get that feeling, you'll be hooked.

  5. Hi Chris,

    I am actually a Recreation Therapist and have some training in fitness.

    The plan is to do lower body and upper body on alternate days.

    Some weight training, some cardio, etc. They will lay it out for me on paper
    and once I have it I'll get some opinions.

    Thank you so much for your concern as I completely understand what you are
    saying.
