Hi friends, I started my Get Fit Journey last year around May 2014. I took this photo after 4 months of calisthenics workouts without a trainer.  As a career IT geek, I spend most of my time in front of computers.  You know how that is :(  I decided to get fit at the age of 52+ and trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle.  I hope...

I took this photo about 3 weeks ago.  I was able to do dips with weighted 25lbs backpack for 10 reps x 3 sets!  If without the extra weights, I normally can perform 10 reps x 5 sets during my "Dips" day :)  BTW, 99% of my workouts are body weight exercises like pushups, pullups, squats and dips.  I am able to workout...
