Awesome response Toni. And you are so right. You MUST work at your pace. This has to be for you. It doesnt have to kill you are even hurt(much). It just has to be wanted and has to be designed for you.

If I can be of any assistance please feel free to email or see me at the club (if you are in Collierville).

P.S. You can still workout with your sister and be doing a different program designed for you.

Lance,

Although I truly appreciate my sister and her blog for letting everyone know what I was feeling (thanks sis!). I do enjoy working out, but, I just started and I don't think it's necessary to work out basically 9 times a week. I JUST STARTED this journey and I know you'll say I am making excuses, but I am the type of person that I haven't exercised for the last 20 years of my life. I am having a hard time and I want to do this at my own pace, not the crazy pace my sister thinks I need. I tried it for 3 (not two) weeks and her pace, now I want to see what it does for me at my pace. I have a lot of pain in my knees and I have a broken neck with two surgeries on my neck and I don't have the brute force strength my sister has. I have a lot of right sided weakness and it hurts. I don't tell her it does because she tends not to believe me. I am doing the best I can do, trust me, there are days I don't even want to go in, but I do for the love and respect that I have for my sister. I was perfectly happy being me, I didn't ask to join the gym, I was told I joined the gym and I've been going like she's requested and doing what she's requested without complaint. It took me forever to put weight on and I am willing to work at it to get it off. But I am not killing myself over it either. Think what you will. But that's me in a nutshell.
