Exhausted

Cant get motivated to workout for the past 6 days. I guess I will never lose the weight at this rate.

Can't get motivated? JUST DO IT! There is no other solution. Exercising on a regular basis is it's own motivator — you'll feel better, you'll be more confident, and you'll really feel like you're taking control of your life (because you WILL be). Actually getting off your butt and getting into a flow is just like anything else ... it's totally up to you.

[MrRob]

SHould I continue with the workout method I have done? Not the lack of but the list I mentioned. Or should I be doing something else?

[cursor]

Well, that's all upper body. It seems to me that you've been helped with workout specifications in other threads ... is that not right?

Hell yeah!
When I have to miss a day at the gym I feel lost.
I think "Man I gotta get to the gym!"
This was tough when I had the flu!


(Side not Cursor look at all the pretty green boxes under your name!) :

[MrRob]

What I meant is that enough for the upperbody or should I do more or less?

The lowerbody I have to get going but I have bad pain in my lower back that is preventing me from doing lower body. Seen the Dr and they say to take pain killers. Hurts when I stand up so doing a squat or good mornings would kill.

Eventually you will want to do more, but for now whether or not you need more exercises is on how you feel. If you feel it isn't enough add another exercise for each larger muscle group and see how it goes. Also don't forget the importance of a good diet and lots of water. Just keep on making it to the gym, after awhile you'll think you were crazy for not wanting to go .
