Still a work in progress, working out, well stopping at the gym, is almost automatic. Posting is another story. I’m way out of practice but one step at a time.

After getting my basic conditioning back, sort of, I realized I wasn’t getting the improvement I was expecting rom my efforts. The problem? Not enough rest between workouts, I wasn’t letting my muscles, such as they are, recover sufficiently. And recovery is where the growth comes from.

So back to my “Body For Life” esque workout, it whipped me back into shape twelve years ago, should work again.
