Hard to get under control and see progress with. Pretty common problem. Chest and biceps? Thats what I am training now. Unless you have a membership to a gym, go get some dumbbells and a curlbar. A cheap bench is good too. You dont need to make a big initial investment. If you have a bike to do a bit of cardio befor beginning so much the better..A mile or two depending on your condition, or even a good jog. The program offered free here is pretty solid from a medical standpoint, but it takes discipline to follow it. You just have to force yourself somedays when your tired from work. I just finished todays program and my shoulder and biceps and triceps are like whacked. They feel like putty or rubber.My arms are so loaded up I can hardly type. Thats good though, no pain, no gain, eh? I always do a little extra I usually load up another 20-25 bicep curls then I do my abs. I have had to start slow as my ab muscles are pretty weasely. But I load on one extra a day and do crunches (as long as I can) Best of luck!

I have been told that you can do them just about everyday? Is this true? Thanks much. -------------- Inside of me there is fit, strong man screaming to get out... he should not have been standing so close to the buffet line.
