I had a full length mirror in my garage. I decided it is time to get my body in shape. Lots of little things to get rid of the layer of fat that covers my upper body.
I have moved my mirror into my workout room. I now understand why Gyms often have morrors lining the walls. It is motivating to see what I want to change.
I'm 6'3" and 207 pounds as of 1/1/20. Not terribly overweight just not nearly as fit at I would like. As a regular cyclist my lower body is in pretty good shape but my upper body is not.
I want to build muscle, and lose flab. The weight is not as important as getting rid of the flab. 190 without flab or 205 without flab, either are acceptable. I have watched some Youtube videos of jump ropers that have changed their bodies and I have also seen some videos of people who have done the 50 or 100 burpees, or pushups per day challenges that have made pretty good progress.
Twenty years ago I bought a Bowflex. Their ad said give us 3 workouts a week for 20 minutes and we will change your body in 6 weeks. It worked for me way back then. However I kept hurting my shoulders and kept having to lay off the machine. Once you lay off it is hard to start again. Needless to say the Bowflex became a dust collector.
