Friends that are into all this have told me that if I even did a little bit I could easily get a "chiseled" look, because my body fat % is so low.

I don't want to get big, just a defined/tone look. And to just be in better shape.

30 minutes a day 3 x a week bro... easy peasy.. if my fat *** can do it, you can do it

I've actually been doing crunches while I'm on my inversion table (almost daily). I can typically do hundreds of sit ups, but working against gravity, I'm plenty sore before I even reach 100. However, my best results come from strict portion control when eating.

:iagree: it starts with a good control on your diet

Yeah. I plan to run 3x a week until I build up my stamina and get my knees used to the pounding, because they tend to hurt really bad after running.

Then I'm going to try and do daily push-ups, crunches, wall squats (helps my legs, but super hard because I have scar tissue fighting me), and some work on my triceps.

And, one of the biggest things - I'm trying to drink more water. Trying for 2 litres/day.

don't be afraid to do eliptical one day, track/street the next.. treadmill the third day.. also, vary your run... do like a set distance with no time limit.... next time run for any distance with a set time limit.. then do a 1.5 mile run as fast as possible(under 15 minutes) and then walk for 15

I drink about 4-5 50oz bottles a day

As for running, I can only run for a min. distance right now. No where near even a 1/4mi yet. :icon17:

It will take a few weeks to build up my lungs.

Haboob - if your currently drinking <2L of water a day you must dry to the bone! 2L Hoyle he a minimum intake for someone. People need to drink less pop,juice, coffee, tea or whatever else you are drinking instead of water.

Your body gets most of its water from food and such anyways, so to say I am intaking < 2L is most likely incorrect.

How far would you want them to extend? You might be able to take the stock brake pedal pad to a shop that could fabricate a thicker one out of rubber with the same backing to connect to the pedal assembly.

You guys is funny guys!!:tup:

Yeah, I'm not sure whether they just haven't updated the schedule or whether that link was only for the Austin event. I think Mike has the best solution: join a local Z club. Nissan contacted them first to spread the word.

That would be awesome! :tup:
