Good for you bro. O0 I'm also working out as of about a month ago. It's not a real strict thing for me even though I should be more serious with it. I started working out since I'm trying to get into the fire department. I know if I make it to the academy they will work the hell out of me enough but I figured why not be a little prepared for it. I was around 235 about a month ago when I started working out. I've never really been into working out so, honestly , I really don't know what I'm doing. But I'm taking sort of easy so I don't hurt myself. I went out and bought a utility bench about a month ago which is basically like a sit up bench that can adjust from sitting up straight to laying flat like a work out bench. Then I bought a few sets of dumb bells. I did this to save a little money instead of buying an expensive work out bench, bar, and weights. It makes things a little harder because when I lay back to do a press with the dumb bells I have to really concentrate so that I keep things even. But it makes me more focused. I find, which people have told me I would, that I get a better range of motion with the dumb bells in my work out versus a full bar. Especially doing a press because I can let my arms come down further since there is no bar to hit my chest. There were a few people who guided me to use this method with the dumb bells and the utility bench. I had never heard of it before so I hope I'm not hurting myself. But anyway, I work out with my weights every other day basically. I do some presses, curls, squats, butterflies, and basically whatever else I can think of to do with the dumb bells. Then on the days I don't use the weights I go for a walk around the neighborhood with my son. I'm fluctuate between 218 and 222 right now. If I would get more serious about it and start eating a little better I could for sure get the weight I want which is somewhere between 200 and 215. I just can't help it. I love to eat!!! I gave up smoking a year ago when my son was born and I barely have touched alcohol since then also. I may have a mix drink or a beer rarely if we go out. I have to have something damn it. So I guess my thing is food.

Lance, as a free weight freak I can tell you that you don't need too much besides the weights and a bench really. If you are serious about continuing but unsure about the types of exercises for each body part, see if you can get your hands on a book from Gold's Gym that shows pictures and describes each exercise. Muscle and Fitness magazine also has good workout guides but they will not cover everything in a single issues or issues.

Thanks a whole lot Paul. O0 Where exactly do you think I could pick one of those books up at? Just at the gym itself or maybe a book store? Thanks for the info. bro. O0
