I can't believe that I'm finally getting around to this. I've been working out for over a year and I feel great! Now I would like to share my experiences and possibly motivate others to change their bad habits.
15 months ago I stepped on the scale at my doctors office and weighed in. The nurse said "207 pounds" and I said "you must be wrong, I've never weighed over 201". I got back on scale again only to find that I was really 207 pounds. The doctor gave me a script for blood pressure meds, printed out a diet for me and sent me on my way.
No discussion of exercise.
At the end of December my wife and I bought a WII system with the WII Fit program and stepper and that's where it all began.
I am now down to 180 lbs with a body fat percentage of 18% - 20 %. I run three days a week and cross train on alternate days with one full day of rest.
I have competed in two 5K races with a 2nd place finish in my group in the last race (official time 33.40.04).
Not bad for a 64 year old guy.
