Starting out

I'm 17 and I've been trying to get in shape off an on for the past year or so, and this thing with Anandtech will hopefully give me the drive to get in shape finally.

I weigh 173.5 lbs., am 5'10", and would say I have a slightly less than average body build. I'm at a healthy weight and body fat % (approximately 20%) for my height and age, but I want to be healthier and be more toned so I'm happier with how I look.

Here are a couple of pictures that I tried to take of myself without a camera timer so they are pretty aweful:






Anyways, I'm starting out working out tomorrow, and my goal is to run in the morning (start at 1 to 1 1/2 miles), and at night finish my day with weight training/toning exercises. I also had a lot of knee problems last year (almost tore my ACL in a floor hockey incident), so I'm going to start doing my physical therapy again so it doesn't happen again.

Well, I'll update with more information as I go, and hopefully I'll finally go through with this!

Thanks to TallBill for starting this up!
