Humm, geek doesn’t generally make you think of a guy in shape.\u00a0 I grew being an athlete, but not so much anymore.\u00a0 I have played soccer, was on swim team, basketball, baseball, football (midget, high school, indoor, and flag), wrestling, and track and field (12200 meter, 200×4 relay, shot-put, and discus).\u00a0 Of course I did weight lifting, but I really got in to lifting after high school.\u00a0 I did a program call “How to increase your bench press by 50 pounds” by Muscle Media.\u00a0 I ended up putting 60 pounds on my bench in 14 workouts!\u00a0 At this time I was lifting 4 or 5 times a week while taking protein and creatine.\u00a0 At this time I was also playing indoor full contact football.<\/p>\n
That was then, and this is now.\u00a0 Now I sit at a desk and work remotely on server all around the world.\u00a0 My drive is around an hour each way.\u00a0 This puts me back in Lincoln around 6pm.\u00a0 That is enough time to get home at around 6:15pm, make sure my kid is in his Tae Kwon Do uniform, and then to head out at 6:40pm to get to class by 7pm.\u00a0 That lasts till 8pm.\u00a0 Get home around 8:15pm and put the kids to bed.\u00a0 Around 8:30pm I am finally eating dinner.\u00a0 9pm rolls around and normally I am finally able to kick back.<\/p>\n
I have tried to go to a gym in Lincoln around this time but the place was packed at the times I wanted to go.\u00a0 So now what?\u00a0 I got a Wii and I found a game called My Fitness Coach.\u00a0 This is less of a game and more of a customizable workout dvd.\u00a0 It has you enter a lot of data about yourself (height, weight, age, arm size, chest size, hips, etc.).\u00a0 You then have to go through some tests such as sitting heart rate and active heart rate and how many of different exercises you can do (sit ups, push ups, squats, etc).\u00a0 After you set up all this, it helps to build a custom workout program for you.<\/p>\n
