Chiropractor/Physical Therapist says I'm almost ready to go back. I've been doing prescribed back workouts for the last 2 months and I'm just now feeling better without pain. Before getting hurt, i was putting in 5-6 days a week with 30 minute cardio and 1-1.5hr weight lifting. Got tired of my flabby gut and wanted to get off my ass and put some work in. America is getting more and more obese, what are you doing about it for yourself/family? What do you guys do? What's your regiment, routine and diet consist of? Maybe even give tips/tricks on things you do at work or while watching TV to keep yourself in shape.

Since moving home, I haven't gone but twice. Sad. I have been riding my bike lately though. I need to find a new gym stat. I'm starting to get that college gut. Ugh...

Still w/o a Volvo Posts: 31 Group: Members Member #1,837 Joined: May 13, 2009 Origin Board Volvospeed Name James Location Corpus Christi	I recently picked up an interest in Bodybuilding although I'm nowhere near what the name brings to mind. Just a beginner. Since, in my opinion, there's nothing to friggin' do in Corpus Christi, I work out at the crappy gym that my apartment has making the most of what I already pay for. Anyone else on a routine? I got the book 21st Century Encyclopedia of Bodybuilding: The complete A-Z Book On Muscle Building by Robert Kennedy and it's pretty good, helpful indeed. It's like it says, howto get started, move on up to intermediate and higher level workouts or weight training. I have a routine I follow right now since I'm still a beginner. Mondays I do chest and triceps, tuesdays I do legs. Wednesday I take a day off. Thursday I do back and biceps and Friday I do shoulders, traps and abs (quite a bit for one workout). Then the weekend I take off. I take two supplements too Fusion Quest and Myozene from Bioquest and buy them online from prosource seeing as how GNC doesn't have that brand and it's probably a ton more expensive. I guess my hobby right now is weight lifting, pretty cheap and easy and I think healthier than just sitting around. Anyone ride a bike or walk on trails? I would if we had trails here..At least you guys don't live in a small town.

Pain has gone away, but that's what I thought last time and got over anxious to get back into the gym and hurt it again. I think I'm about ready to get back into real soon, but need to focus on building my secondaries, especially my lower back to protect it first, before I go back to my main routine, 1 hour cardio 5 days a week, followed by 1 hr free weight lifting and abs

Still w/o a Volvo Posts: 31 Group: Members Member #1,837 Joined: May 13, 2009 Origin Board Volvospeed Name James Location Corpus Christi	I use to love the beach as a kid, now I just don't really care anymore about it. Corpus Christi beaches aren't that good either, at least not compared to South Padre Island near Brownsville. Just don't realy care much for the beach anymore. Now that I'm married and my wife hates the wind and isn't much for humidity, I'm kinda limited with what I can do. Not much for running either...When you got back to working out had you been out of the habit for a little while? This may be obvious but you can't expect to pick up where you left off when you quit from the pain. Lower back indeed, I need to do more of that too but the little gym at my apartment, nothing really conducive to lower back. Cardio...probably my least favorite thing.

Sometimes I feel like playing "go-karts" around here with some of the other drivers. Makes me wish I had a huge heavy truck with two conical spikes about 2 feet long on the front and rear bumpers.
