I have been working out for one year now. I wish I had a comparable before and after photo. I started with body weight exercises because they are hard to find excuses to avoid. I bought some aerobic steps and a pull up bar, but those were optional. No expensive gym memberships.
After 3 months I wanted more so I joined Planet Fitness and switched to dumbbells. I haven't missed any weeks, and now I have the urge to go exercise every workout day. It has become a habit, and if I don't do it, I feel off. This makes it easy to maintain.
How have I changed over the year? It is hard to say, but it isn't just a single change.
Primarily, my confidence is up. I am excited to see the changes over time to my body and my ability to keep up with my kids had improved. I used the skiing example the other day, but it is everything day to day is easier.
I used Arnold's, The Pump App for the year and it gave both body weight and gym equipment options. I was happy with it and it worked well to get me started. I dropped it and went with my own routines after about a year, as The Pump focuses on high rep count vs what I want, which is low rep count closer to failure. I wouldn't change how I did things. Walking the path is the goal, not the endpoint.
I am only down 22 lbs over the year, but it feels like far more than that. Muscle is up, body fat % is down.
What is my next step? Going to other gym equipment to better work specific muscles and just keep pumping. My current goal is to reach the "healthy" BMI.
