Exercise

As of tomorrow, January 17th, 2008, I plan to embark on a plan to become fitter and healthier than I have been for quite some time (or ever for that matter). I am in competition with a few friends of mine, and I am planning to be named the victorious party.

We weighed in today, and after seeing what I weighed in at, it left much to be desired from myself. I am going to be ambitiously exercising, and attempting to eat in a more healthy fashion. According to caloriecount.about.com, they recommend that I limit myself to 1634 calories a day in order to meet my weight goal by May 17th (the end competition date). That limitation is calculated if I am basically doing no exercise, which is most definitely not my intention. I plan with the combination of a better diet, eating less than I burn, and exercising regularly to meet my goal before my goal date.

As far as exercising goes, I intend to create a hearty combination of calisthenics, and cardio (and whatever else in the world I can think of). Cardio is going to be the keystone to my entire process, as it will give me the endurance that I need in order to meet my exercise goal. I think I will try to alternate days between the two (on the cardio off days I still intend to do cardio, but on a relatively low intensity level), and hopefully by doing so I shouldn't wear myself out too much. I will continue to post updates on my status with this exercising endeavor here.
