I've actually been into nutrition all of my life, and eat very healthy. I used to regularly work out for many years and had some lean gains but have since stopped because of injuries and chronic pain, but would like to incorporate something to make gains... although I have a lot of stupid shit going on in my life right now, and so it has made me lazy to working out.
Thank you for proving that to me. I look forward to your posts about working out.
You're talking yourself out of exercising. You know as well as I do that you could be exercising right now, there are things you could be doing.
I always encourage people to start simple, really simple. Just buy a used barbell and a few weight plates off of Craigslist and commit to doing 5 sets of 10 reps of curls every other day. This is 10-15 minutes of your time every other day, its nothing. Also everybody has room for a barbell and a few weight plates.
I know you're not necessarily a beginner being that you've worked out before but this will be a good way to get you back into it. I'm confident that if you just start doing this simple routine you will naturally start to expand and do other stuff.
No more excuses. Get the gear today and complete your first workout before the end of today. Don't overthink this just do it.
The irony is that I have a set of barbells sitting next to this computer.
Awesome! Get back to me when you've done 5 sets of 10 reps. Today will be the day you start working out again. Remember to not overthink this, just pick them up and do it. Think of it as a quick 10 or 15 minute block of time.
Put on some killer music first.
Just a reminder you owe me 5 sets of 10 reps. I am fully confident you will complete this today.
