 Wow. I mention on FB my incredible (to me) workout yesterday, 2.5 hours total for the day, and instead of congratulating me, a relative warns me that exercise can be addictive. Gee, thanks. Yes, I am sure they are trying to be helpful but given the shape I am in, being addicted to working out is a long ways away from being a problem.

I'm going to go back to be proud of the fact that I did it and am not hurting today. Tonight I try and venture into the weight lifting side of working out, which I have very little experience with.

Definitely be proud of it! That is an amazing achievement.

I don't know if you're looking for recommendations or resources, but just in case - I've found the training plans over at Nerd Academy to be useful for general/overall strength training.

Oh that is very helpful! I know little beyond lift the thing and honestly have bad experiences from middle school and high school. I am very tall and due to long arms was never able to lift as much as my peers.

My wife knows lots but we never seem to get time together in the gym for her to teach me. = ]
