You can call me Flex.

BowFlex that is. Nick and I have been trying to live a healthier life style. You know the drill. Eat better. More veggies. More fruit. Less sugar. Blah blah. Work out. Sweat. Be in pain. Blah blah. So, let's focus on that painful part.

We have been surfin the web looking for low price exercise equipment so we don't have to go to the gym around tons of strangers and people who stare. Instead, we want to work out in our garage. Now, I am totally cool with the eating better (every now and then I beg for cookies or frozen yogurt, but who cares?! I want a reward). We've been pretty good this last month in our goals. As far as the exercise goes.... I'm not totally cool with it. BUT I have a super awesome encouraging husband who makes the "work" half better. We bought a Bow Flex Extreme 2 (I think) and I have been fiddling with it for the last three days (three days straight is a record in my book). I am totally feeling the burn.

While I have no idea what I am doing, Nick is throwing work out jargon in my face and it's all going right over my head. We decided that we want to find some good work outs that focus on each muscle in the body and put them together in a binder divided by muscle groups (legs, arms, back, etc.) and then into individual muscles (triceps, biceps, calves, etc.). I'm thinking of putting a "stretches" section in there too.

I think that this binder will be a huge learning experience for me. And while I search the web, please share some sites you know of! It'd be a HUGE help. So, please tell me:


What are your favorite/not-so favorite things about living healthy?
