another Friday has arrived, it amazes me how fast time flies the older we get. I try and make this less depressing by working towards a goal which requires time to achieve results, in this way the time passing is sort of a positive thing. Does that make any sense? It does to me (maybe I am losing my mind...)

So it's been better than two months since I began (yet again) to run and lift. It's a very positive boost to self esteem and the ego when you begin to see results. Of course (like time passing) it is a bit more of a struggle as we travel thru our thirties heading toward the big 4-ohhhhh (a very scary number indeed).

Of course working out at home has it's advantages (I dislike cruisy gyms, and also to work out in public) and disadvantages (needless to say the lack of equipment, I have only freeweights and a tread mill)
---
The main issue I have is that it is hereditary in my family (my birthfather has the same issue) that we have a very flat upper chest (boney in fact, check out
this picture from yesterday's HNT to see what I mean) We just don't have even a semblance of
pec-age. I am just looking to build up something in this area..
---
this would be nice :)
---
---
but unrealistic methinks...
---
I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to build up your chest using an excercize ball, free weights or anything you could do at home to work on this area...
---
any advice would be most appreciated..
---
I mean my abs are starting to stick out farther than my chest! lol
---
anyway... have to run work calls, thank god for a long ass weekend
:)
I would imagine our body fat percent is about the same.
:)
anyways, someone told me that freeweights are a lot better than machines. not sure if that's true though.
welcome to aging.
keep up the good work; it really is as basic as proper food and basic exercise.
and realistic expectationd.
But, like you, I too have a goal where time is the reward. I just started so we'll see.
Good for you, though, for even trying and sticking to it. Unfortunately, I do not have advice for you on the chest. Besides, you wouldn't want to be taking any advice from me...lol
