After a Month

Here are some things I have noticed after just four weeks of honest and consistent exercise and portion control:

• resting heart rate went from 84 to 62
• balance, flexibility, and dexterity have improved dramatically
• went from 1-minute to 3-minute jogging intervals 
• lost 5 pounds
• mood is improved as I continue to set goals and accomplish them one at a time

Here is my program: 

• American Diabetes Association carbohydrate-counting plan for weight loss
• 60 minute workouts 3 times per week, with any variation of the following: 
• workout at the YMCA for 1 hour = 30 minutes on stationary bike + 30 minutes on treadmill
• sixty minutes of aerobics with Gilad on my TV
• an hour out on the trail with my camera
