First week of 2009

Time to get motivated for 2009.
I had a slack end to a good start from last year. I lost 25 pounds by this past summer and gained some 15 to 20 pounds of it right back by the end of the year.

Still not fully motivated like I was last year. I have however, started doing some pretty serious aerobics exercises on my mini-trampoline. I think they like to refer to them as "Rebounders" now days! Think it's easy? Just try to keep up with old Blanche Black for 7 minutes!

I've been doing the "Rebounder" workouts at least 30 minutes a day for the past 3 days, and doing some push-ups and dumbell workouts, and also doing a little sweating on my Total-Trainer. It's nice to be able to watch TV while I workout since I don't watch much TV anyway. I usually just put a movie in the DVD and try to watch that while I workout. It helps me to have a much longer workout , and sometimes I over do it.

I have to admit the "Rebounder" is much more forgiving to these old legs. The soreness of old age is a lot more bearable this way. Not sure when I'll get out on the pavement and start pounding the old joints? Gotta make sure I keep this regimine up first.

No "New Year Resolutions" either. Don't want to make empty promises to myself. All in all, I'm much healthier and stronger than I was at this time last year, but I have very much room for improvement.
