RIPPED

SO one of my new years resolutions is to add weight training to my routine. I have really not done anything but run for about 3 years. Mainly because I have zero (possibly negative) coordination. I have tried ZUMBA but I suck. In college, my roomates (and best friends) dragged me to a power pump class once and they spent the entire hour rolling on the floor laughing at me. It took me oh aproximately 8 years to enter a class after that day. ;) And then, I don't know how to lift weights... how much, how little, what movements, how often etc.

Anyway, I'm working on it! So part of working on it is going to RIPPED at the gym. It's weights, it's intervals, it's lunges, squats, push-ups, it's plyometrics and kickboxking. I generally leave dripping sweat. It is awesome to feel like every single muscle has been opened up.

What I did not know--until tonight--is that the "D" stands for Diet and the Ripped USA website has a LOT of information on diet (don't think diet as in food restriction; think of diet as in lifestyle changes) for weight loss. That info is all here: http://www.rippedusa.com/diet-stabilize-start.html. Really good beginning food nutrion info!
