Taking measurements is a sobering experience, especially when you take measurements with your girlfriend / significant other. As I said before I am starting a year long workout routine that I am very excited about. I have always been healthy and active my whole life, playing three sports in high school, making Varsity Baseball in College and playing College Ice Hockey. I have also gone to the gym intermittently throughout my four years but I regret that I haven't really taken full advantage of the facilities that I had at my disposal. I am a pretty skinny guy, about 6' 3" and 180lbs depending on the day. Because of hockey, I always knew that I needed to work on my legs and develop them to become better; however I would always fall into the male vanity and go straight to chest and bicep exercises for the most part ignoring my legs. As the title says, you can't hide from numbers and it was eye opening to see how small my thighs are compared to what strong, sturdy, legs should be (especially on a tall guy). So in planning a workout, exercise, or training routine you should measure yourself to not only track progress but to also give you some motivation to get moving and either grow where you need to grow or shrink what you need to shrink. If anyone else has any other good motivation / tracking ideas please comment and let me know. I will keep you updated in how much I change throughout my routine.
