I personally am not a jogger, i can run maybe a mile and i’m beat… however doing cardio will get similar results (at least for my concern) and is ‘easier’ for me. I say get mats and try a good workout and just be consistent. drink a good amount of water to work the metabolism and you’re golden. other than the occasional indulging of alcohol, water is all I drink. And if I’m drinking its never beer, it’s normally wine, bloody Mary’s, vodka, or shots. > [@FS:V1](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/fs-v1/39151/23): > > join a gym for a few months, i know most ymca’s offer 3 and 6 month memberships. it is around $40 a month, but if you stop after 3 months, you only lost $120 or so. if you like it, join for longer. i used to lift at home, but gyms have a lot more to offer, as well people to help you out. once you are there, you will get to know people, and can find many ways to work on your routine. Well we joined the local Y today, it ended up being $48.00 a month, and they only charged us one joiner’s fee instead of 3, so that saved me $100.00. We will try it for a few months, and see what happens. My wife is super happy as they are having evening kick boxing, cardio, and dance classes. My son loves the idea that they have a full blow skate park for summer use. And hell I love all the fine ladys.😃 So I’m hoping this works out better than the last time we joined the gym. I will try to keep you all posted of our progress. ---

Sounds good. Is that $48/mo for all of you are per person? ---

[www.crossfit.com](http://www.crossfit.com) get a few kettlebells, mount a pullup bar in the garage, and go crazy 😃 I joined LA Fitness (aka globogym) last year and go 5 times a week. I like the gym better than home. ---

On a side note, we went this evening for the first time. Wow I didn’t realize how round is truly not in shape. I got shit hurting that I never remember even feeling before. And the worst part is, I was only doing some light lifting. This working out is a workout…:eek: ---
