I exercised quite regularly, yet came down with pneumonia roughly a month ago and it has made deep breathing pretty difficult. I'm fighting it now, just tryign to take it easy as I recover. I plan to start back exercising this week.

I got injured about 3 years ago and the medication I was taking really made me pack on the pounds. I started at 160 lbs. and was up to 240 lbs. when I stopped taking the medication. Becoming active again combined with a little extra exercise helped me drop the extra weight. In 2 years I've managed to get back down to 165 lbs.

When the 12 ouncers become too easy to lift graduate into the 32 ouncers then the 40 ouncers. You don't have so many repetitions that way...or at least not at first.

Not calling anyone here old :p but I'm still pretty young in the scheme of things at 21. I lift weights and run on occassion now, mostly in the form of basketball couple times a week. This summer I will cut though and run every day along with doing insanity and lifting.
The excercise is only the half of it though, eating right is the other..however, I would suggest if you want to work on your core that you do something two days a week, and hit them a little harder, most lifting people will tell you to give your muscles 48 hours of recovery before hitting them again, because you are essentially tearing them apart when you lift.
As far as a program or anything like that, just keep it simple, crunches, double crunches, leg raises, russian twists, stuff like that..if it hurts you know your doing it right

This is a good one. I will have to use that some time.I just got to the point of telling every one that I am not bringing a 6-pack any more, it is now a full keg.
