BBCESQ:
So I have been working on getting into shape for the past couple of years, and I spent about a year and a half doing lots of cardio and conditioning work.  For the last 4 months or so, I've been focusing on lifting.  Right now I am at the end of week 13 of Stronglifts 5x5 and could not be happier with my progress.  In addition to the 5x5 I have been focusing on compound accessory work like dips and pull ups.  Things are heading in the right direction although I am far from where I want to be.

What is your fitness routine and how is it working for you?

I have been on about a three year journey to get myself in better shape.  I started with cleaning up my diet, which for me was reducing carbs and portions.  I also started cardio (primarily walking and jogging on a tread mill), working myself up to over three miles of running on a treadmill.  I also include a light weight lifting workout.  I had to stop the running last year due to a bad stress fracture in my foot, so I increased my weight lifting intensity and frequency.  I lost about 30 pounds and dropped 5 - 6 inches from my waist in the first two years.  Now I have gained back over 20 pounds, but in the right places.  I have maintained my lower waist line, but gained muscle in my chest, back, arms, and legs.

I started Insanity in the fall and loved it. I am now on the second phase of a similar workout routine. It by the same group that makes insanity. It's T25 and I just started the beta round.

Great job, Guys.  Find something that you like and keep it up.  The payoff is amazing.

I'm really liking the 5x5.  I went from 260 to 157 in about 2 years counting calories and over the past year or so I've made it back to 195 because I like carbs and junk food.  While I never quit working out, my diet was sh*t.  My goal for the 1st 6 months of 2014 is to get down to about 10% body fat so I can see what that looks like.  After that, I'm not sure.
