About me

2008-01-10T17:58:00.000-06:00

I'm a 25 year old guy from Costa Rica, 5'11'', 178 lbs and unknown body fat percentage as of this writing. I've been quite sedentary for years now and I also went through a small but important surgery on June 2007. After that surgery, I lost weight and strength, and I have not done any exercise in my recovery phase.

I have just started Arnel's six-pack-abs training routine as a way to gain strength and get in shape after so many months of TV and snacks. I will try my best to come to a more healthy physique and a more energetic lifestyle. That's my primary goal. And well, I also want to show off my abs when I head to the beach next summer ;)

Good luck to my fellow newcomers! And more people joining every day!

David.

Quick update

2008-01-10T17:48:00.000-06:00

Well, I wanted to start off with other people, so I began week 1 again last Monday January 7th. My fellow trainers are Jose Mendez and Danny. I know they'll do great!

As a corollary, my body feels so well... I can't believe it... instant satisfaction out of workout, I'd have never believed it.

Take care!

Feeling the change

WOW. It's been only 4 days doing Arnel's diet + training, and I am feeling the results already. The first thing I noticed is my body is recovering much faster from doing exercise: it usually felt painful for days after I did some exercise, but now I have enough protein and carbohydrates in my food to fully recover and actually build muscle.
At first the diet made me somewhat dizzy, even sleepy, but I am now feeling quite empowered, full of energy. The second thing I noticed is that my gastritis stopped bothering me. My stomach is now doing great.
And finally, I also noticed my water intake went skyrocket. I'm thirsty all the time and more water in means more water out, so I'm visiting the men's room every time I see one. I feel the changes, and of course my muscles are starting to feel again, this is wonderful!
