Now I am thankful that this happened because it inspired me to change how I live. My doctor helped me plan my fat loss program. Because I am in my late fifties my doctor helped me specialize my workouts.
I workout early in the morning. I do weights,treadmill and use an stationary bike. Before I start exercising , I always do a light warm up. This takes about ten minutes. My doctor recommended a protein rich, low fat, high fibre diet plan which is suitable for my age and condition. In the beginning it was hell, it seemed that every part of my body ached. sometimes I was tempted to quit. I carried on I was so determined to lose that fat. Once I got past the initial adjustment period, I started feeling better and my workouts became more manageable. After three months I saw the results of my workouts. This was the best motivation to continue. I gradually added new exercises into my routine. It is nine months since I started working out and my pot belly is very close to being gone. I can’t believe the difference in how I look and feel. I can see my abdominal muscles!
