NOBODY'S wrong here!!! Try everything said and find your comfort zone! Go to A fitness store and try everything you see.....and settle with the machine you're most comfortable with! Don't get the top of the line or the ones with the most electronice gizmos,,,,,they don't matter!
Other than that.....cut down on your food intake and just move......walk, take the stairs, run when you can, bike......don;t take the escalator, the elevator if jst going up/down 4 floors! you have to include lifting weights koz it helps and important as you grow older and if you have kids!
and lastly! MAKE THIS A LIFESTYLE CHANGE! WORKING OUT SHOULD BE PART OF YOUR LIFE! GIVE YOURSELF AT LEAST AN HOUR A DAY! MORE THE BETTER! FORGET THE ADDITIVES....EXCEPT MULTI VITAMINS, VIT D, FISH OIL AND CQ1O! THESE HAVE BEEN TESTED AND PROVEN! THE REST ARE JUST SNAKE OIL!!!!
I have a small gym at home with weights, a Nordic track and a Threadmill and I'm a GYM member! I also have a few Mountain bikes and a cross country ski!
I made my lifestyle change when I turned 27! I'm turning 55 this year with 118/70 BP......I do everything I mentioned! I lift weights 3x/week...benching 225lbs! I do at least one adventure a year...climb at least 1 mountain and a class V white rafting trip and a scuba dive if I can! Spend a few camping trips with the family in the summer or a backpacking trip somewhere!
I still dream of climbing Mt. Everest or the other 7 summits! As they say in the US Air Force........AIM HIGH!
GOOD LUCK SAMMY! AND STAY HEALTHY AND PROSPER!
