Fitness training has started

January 2, 2008

Yesterday was the new year! Happy New Year to you!

Yesterday was also the day I started my fitness routine. I decided to try eating 6 to 8 meals a day for two weeks, then start my fitness routine after two weeks of letting my body adjust. I went for my first run/walk yesterday. I spent 20 minutes, half of it running and half of it walking in my neighborhood. I recall somone saying they’d rather walk steep inclines than run since there’s less impact on the body by doing so. Well I’m in luck because most of my neighborhood is steep inclines and it makes it a chore to run.

I will probably end up running it though, unless I decide to jump in my car and go to the park to do my normal laps. It will mostly depend on how much time I have to spare. If I have lots of time, I’ll jump in my car and drive to the park because I prefer to run on a flat surface. If not, I’ll just run in the neighborhood and walk the steep inclines.

I also prefer to run during the early morning or late afternoon since the sun will be lower and it won’t be such a drain to run. We’ll see how it goes. Since I ran yesterday, I will weight train today, then run tomorrow. Alternating days will help me recouperate a bit I hope.

It felt good to get out and finally start burning some calories. I hope I can keep this up!
