After months of great strength training I have decided it is time for some serious cardio. In order to spend more time outside (at least while the weather is nice) I will start a routine of walking, running and biking. I have been weary of starting a running program as it is commonly known that running can cause knee problems. However, there are plenty of people out there that run all the time and don't have problems. The key is not to push yourself too far just like with anything in life. I will also be purchasing a new bike seat to make my rides more comfortable. I have not been riding as much as I should because my butt gets sore due to the crappy seat on my bike. Walking it pretty standard as it is one of the best cardiovascular and safest exercised you can do. The cardio will help me to slim down even more and work on my next goal. After some consideration I have decided to really tone my muscles and make them show. My first trainer told me that I am built perfectly for body building. After actually building some muscle mass and losing some fat I can see what she saw. My frame is ideal of really packing on some muscle. Now, my goal is not to go overboard and become a giant mass of muscles and veins. I am looking for a built but cut look. I want excellent muscle definition that everyone can see and enjoy. Of course I will have to get a tan as well but that will come in time.
With spring finally here another one of my favorite hobbies is taking up some of my time, yard work! I know this may seem crazy but I absolutely love having a great looking yard. When I was growing up my dad kept the most pristine lawn on our street. He always told me that he was winning the competition for best lawn even though none of the other neighbors knew there was a competition. Well, the year I am going to win the competition. I started watering once it warmed up and it is greening up nicely. I am taking this summer to make sure the lawn is well established and I will be planting vines along the side of the house in the fall. I also have a flower bed that has roses written all over it.
Someday I will be all buff like Brandon Magee (#8)
This guy just happened to bloom on a rainy day
