Thursday-February 23, 2012-Lazy Day!

I've been horribly lazy today! I finally got in the walk at around 2:30 this afternoon. I stayed up WAY too late last night and am contemplating a nap even as I type this! LOL!  Anyway, I got out and completed the walk in an absolutely beautiful day! Tomorrow is day 6 and marks the completion of week one of my InterCycle. Next week I begin alternating days of 2-mile walks and light bodyweight workouts and 1-mile runs. I hope that everyone has had a great day today and I wish you a great…See More

Thanks for the shout out, Andrew. You mentioned some key points about improving the network, which I'm sure Ernie and Frank will take into strong consideration. PS: You're much more than a top contributor at NFM; An overall good/genuine…

Wednesday-February 15, 2012-Chest and Back Day!

I got my "old butt" in the bed on time last night after re-reading and editing book chapters (I will do more tonight) and had a really good night's sleep. I was awake this morning before the alarm went off and was up and into the morning routine a little quicker than normal. I went into the workout and had a pretty decent chest and back workout. One thing that I know now is that I am absolutely much STRONGER than I was two months ago. I am going to have to reconsider my workouts. I'm doing…See More

Tuesday-February 14, 2012-What's My Sleep Number? LOL!

I've been consistently up at or before 5:00 in the morning for many months. Today was no different. I pushed through my early morning chores, coffee, Bible study, prayer, and any other tasks that might present themselves before doing the workout. This morning, however, right before the workout I became so sleepy that I actually felt sick. LOL!  I could not even imagine doing the workout. I decided that I needed to go back to bed. I slept for a good solid hour, got up, and was good to go for the…See More

Profile Information

GENERAL GOAL
Improve overall health
SPECIFIC SHORT TERM GOAL (LESS THAN 3 MONTHS)
Continue to improve my physique!
SPECIFIC LONG TERM GOAL (1 YEAR OR MORE)
Build more muscle and maintain a lean athletic physique
ULTIMATE FITNESS-RELATED GOAL (FANTASY GOAL)
Working on doing planche push-ups
FAVORITE EXERCISE
PUSH-UPS!
FAVORITE SUPPLEMENT
I Don't use them!
FAVORITE PRO BODYBUILDER/ATHLETE
Terrell Owens appears to me to have an ideal athletic physique.

Doctoral student who has decided to change career paths. I believe I can be more effective working in the health and fitness industry than I can in my current profession. I love working out and staying in shape and cannot see myself ever working in any profession where I won't have the time to take care of myself. Right now, because of financial limitations I work out with dumbbells and bodyweight exercises.
What made you get into fitness or why do you want to be into fitness?
I'd worked out intermittently throughout my life. I participated in sports in Junior High School (football, wrestling, and track). Gave it up after I got into high school. I was an academically and musically gifted student and didn't give much thought to staying fit. After 3 degrees, I realized that I was horribly out of shape and began to work on regaining a physically fit body. Also, I realized that I am not a good match for my chosen profession. I'd much rather work with people on physical health issues. To this end, I will be pursuing a physical training certification.
What is your goal for your physique?
At my age (joined this site at 45-See my amateur video below. LOL!), my goal is to build and maintain my muscle mass. I am more worried about being "functionally fit" than having bodybuilder size muscles. I certainly admire those men and women who put in the time and energy to get those phenomenal bodies!

 

Conquered my fears and FINALLY created another video! Forgive the amateur posing! LOL!

NOTE: This blog is mainly for my BodySpace friends who are worried that I am totally leaving BodySpace. I've expressed extreme dissatisfaction with the changes made their and the slow remedy. However, the connections made there on the human scale need to be preserved, so I will continue there although I've lost the ability to track traffic to my blog, and my webpage that I had nurtured from 5,000 hits from year one to over 40,000 hits by year three of my membership. Furthermore the changes…

Tuesday-February 21, 2012-Good Walk...Good Day...Short Blog!

Posted on February 21, 2012 at 6:41pm 0 Comments

This is day 3 of my InterCycle! I made the mistake of getting on the scale today! LOL! Not eating much. However, the weight has gone up a bit. :)  Anyway, I got out there and got a very brisk walk in. Once again, I managed to break a good sweat. Then I actually got out of the house for a few hours and a little rest and relaxation! It was an enjoyable day. I came back, cooked dinner for the parents and now am going to take a 30 minute nap before going in the book. It…

Monday-February 20, 2012-SNOW! and InterCycle Workouts

Posted on February 20, 2012 at 1:08pm 0 Comments

We finally got a bit of winter here in Virginia. When snow was forecast for yesterday, we were not sure we were going to get it, or if we got it, whether it would stick or not. Well we got it and it stuck! LOL! When I got up to take the dog out this morning, it had stopped, but the ground was white. As the morning progressed, however, it began to melt and the ground is saturated with water and rapidly melting snow. What a mess! I did manage to get my yearly "snow picture" to post. I was…

Hey Andrew,

No worries about the misunderstanding.

I do, however, still invite you to share with us what you do like about NMM and any way that you think we can improve the site. We do want to transform NMM into the largest online Fitness and Well Being Community.

Your input will be greatly valued and appreciated!

Cheers and enjoy your Super Bowl food!

Sorry about Pittsburgh not making it.

I know a few Steelers fans myself.

Cesco

hi Andrew- I'm very impressed with your hard work.  You look very lean-  are you like really strict with your diet?

Thanks again Andrew. A great week to you and yours as well.

Thanks Andrew. I appreciate your concern. Things have been a little crazy on my end, but it's all to create better balance for the future. I hope to add new/better features and content soon. Keep up the great work with your training... I've noticed a big difference from when you first began posting pictures/videos to the site.

Hi Andrew. I also hope all is well with you & yours. I'm terribly sorry about the delay. For some reason, my PC was freezing often earlier this week (which never happens)... I couldn't approve blog posts or new members. I didn't have a problem with photos which was strange. All seems to be in order now.

Humility is one of the keys to success. The video is great. I know it's a lot of work, but you might want to add a voice-over to any future videos... speaking a bit about the exercise(s), how they're performed, what muscles are being worked, if it's good for athletes or general fitness, strength or endurance, etc. Do it in your own unique way of course, and always with the purpose of helping the viewer. I also hope all is well with you Andrew, you and your family / close friends.
