Drop the belly fat

Exercising at home could be on the plate.  Doing some of the exercises that don’t require equipment could be the main focus, but finding some simple exercise tools might be a different option.

Come up with a regular time to exercise and stick with it.

Vary the exercise routines.

Listening to music, podcasts or audiobooks to get through the workouts.

Fruit smoothies are a great drink.  The ninja blender works, but the sound can be really loud.  The big pitcher for the blender is okay, but the blend with the smaller size is really nice.  Adding in lots of ice makes the smoothie feel almost like a shake when you have bananas included to smooth out the flavor.

Got back on the treadmill for the last few days.

Did six miles yesterday.

Running and walking.

The apple ipod worked great.

Downloaded a bunch of mixtapes on datpiff.com

Nispey Hussle

50 Cent

Curren$y

Skipped a lot of tracks while walking and running.

The Curren$y mixtape the operating manual had a couple I liked.

The Curren$y mixtape was constantly on repeat.

The habit is fully formed now.  Getting up early in the morning and getting on the treadmill is a part of everyday.  It didn’t use to be like this.  Now, I make sure to get a good walk or a run in every morning.  The minimum is one mile. Sometimes I feel like doing more.  I sometimes up the mile count to three miles.  

The other big change is drinking more water.  I am getting about a gallon a day.  It is not hard to do.  It does require some regular trips to Sams Club.  

Just walking on the treadmill takes a long time, so I kicked it up a notch and starting jogging and even sprinting.

I could not tell you the last time that I just broke into a sprint. One of the big benefits for me is that it gets me closer to hitting that daily goal of 3 miles per day quicker.  

There is a little indicator on the treadmill screen that shows a graphic of a track and it helps to know when to start and stop.  It can be tricky hitting the button to slow down quickly enough while still concentrating on running.

After doing the running at a high speed, I like to take the speed down to walking or light jogging.  It is just like the old days of going around the track and sprinting and walking.

Keeping this routine up has been okay.  I look forward to doing it everyday.  Hopefully, the results will start showing up.  I am not really focusing on it too hard right now though.  

The ninja blender is getting a good workout.  You can pop so many things into it and get good results.

The other day, I used the small blending cup, the personal cup to start banging out smoothies left and right.  

The bigger blending cup, the one that you see on all the commercials is a good blender, but I like the smaller cup.  It gets the smoothie really fine.

You hit that button and in a few quick seconds, the different fruits and veggies are broken down.

I have been adding cucumbers and bananas and orange juice in the latest mix.  The bananas really help smooth the mixture.

Adding ice to the smoothie really makes a big difference.  I like to add them first.  The mixing cup can fill up really quickly.

They have a max limit line on the cup.  When you press that single serve button, it really goes to work.  After a couple of seconds, the job is done.

I am on the hunt for 225.  I am not trying to become a body builder or any of that. I just want to use weight lifting to burn some calories.  

The midsection is still the issue, but I am working on it.  I am getting into the gym a multiple times per week and the effects are starting to show.

It is funny how I really got back on track.  I was taking a free online course that was focused on business, but the exercise thing took off.  A regular daily routine of exercise just happened.

Now, I am on the road to staying in good shape.  I never really tried to lift heavy, but it seems like this is all mental.
