Just did the best circuit workout! I created this one based on a couple that I found. I like it b/c most of it does not require machines. Tweak it however you like, but remember to keep the weights moderate so that you can overload with reps. I actually felt invigorated afterwards and had a great sweat going on. Have to say, my fav workouts are interval and circuit. Let me know if you like it :)

The Journey...
I started this blog in 2010 under the title "The Fat to Fit Chronicles" to document the training for and completion of my very first half-marathon. My decision to train was the first step on my journey from fat to fit. In my former life I was 319 lbs, depressed, and living a "less than" life.
Over the course of training I discovered a passion for fitness and helping others. So this blog has morphed into something more than just my musings and venting. My hope is that when you leave this blog you have learned something or picked up something valuable to aide you along your own journey.
