How and when did you start working out, with or without videos?
The thread by Bfit about helping a friend to start working out and the friend rejecting all of bfit's suggestions got me wondering about our Vfers: How/when did YOU begin working out?
i am sure this has been explored before, so please tag this thread (i tried searching using Google before starting this thread) if a tag exists. i used to jog sporadically with my older brothers when marathon running was all the rage and they trained in the neighborhood. It looked fun, and it was a chance to do something athletic, which was sorely lacking in my life! my uncle even bought me some Nike waffle shoes, which were really expensive, but awesome. i ran off and on in college in fun runs and took weight training and aikido classes. 5 years after that, i took up running again because my cholesterol was creeping past 200. i was a YWCA member for about a year to use their gym facilities during lunch at work. i decided to try TV shows in the mid-90s on The Health Network, borrowed videos from the library, and then bought a few from Blockbuster Video. it grew from there, and i still walk outdoors a lot in my neighborhood. my DH is a PE teacher, so i get a lot of support from him too.
