Hello everyone, my name is Allen and I too am an overweight office guy. I program for the web to earn a living and I have a fairly typical commute in the Atlanta area. I typically drive about an hour both to and from work and I sit at a desk in front of a computer for approximately 8-9 hours a day. So doing some simple math, I am sitting on my butt AT LEAST 10-11 hours a day. When you consider most people are only awake about 16-18 hours a day, I spend at minimum a whopping 63% of my day sitting on my hind end. Now, that being said, I do like to eat. As a matter of fact, I’d have to say that eating is one of my hobbies. It’s not just a thing I do for nutrition mostly, I just absolutely love food. When you combine my love (of all foods) and the fact that I have a fairly sedentary daily routine, something’s gotta give, and currently it’s been my belt holes!

The fact that you’re reading this means that you want to get in shape for one reason or another. Maybe you’re like us in that you lead a very sedentary lifestyle due to your job and your long commute, or maybe you had an injury that kept you inactive, or maybe you’re a woman that just had a baby. There’s any number of reasons why you aren’t in shape and really, to be totally honest, none of the reasons you are where you are in your physical condition really matter all that much. It’s what you’re going to do about it starting today that really matters.
