The human body is such a complex machine, isn’t it?

It’s no secret that I have a very skinny build. I’m about 6’1″ tall and weigh between 145 – 150 pounds. Over the past two years or so, though, I’ve started to finally fill out and some very basic work outs and my physical activity have helped to tone my body a bit. For the first time in my life, I have some nice muscle definition, especially on my upper torso. While it may not be something to brag about, it still helps build my self confidence.

The funny thing about all of this, though, is the fact that I’m more out of shape than ever before. Cardiovascularly, I was, easily, three time more fit when I was 18 than I am now. If I play basketball, my legs give out so quickly. At work, I burn out more quickly that I would prefer and, sometimes, more quickly than what’s safe for me considering some of the work I have to do.

Once the weather gets warmer, I really need to work on this. I need my stamina back. I hope that if I can get it back, I won’t feel so damn tired all of the time.
