Musclebound

A few years ago, I enrolled in a gym. After a month, I caught colds. I never returned to the gym after that. A few months after, I bought a pair of dumbbells. They're used more as a door stopper, make-shift hammer and conversation piece than what they're supposed to.

Recently (read: yesterday), I started using them again. This time it's more for exercise than trying to be the next Chippendale dancer. I've realized that my unhealthy lifestyle is going to take its toll sooner or later and I might as well try to delay it. I mean, I'm not getting any younger.

Here's my program so far.
Day 1 - Dumbbell Military Press (3 sets/12 reps)
Day 2 - Seated Dumbbell Curl (3 sets/12 reps)
Day 3 - Crunches (3 sets/25 reps) and Dumbell Shrug (3 sets/12 reps)
Day 4 - Dumbbell Upright Row (3 sets/12 reps)
Day 5 - Dumbbell Deadlift (3 sets/12 reps)

I didn't want to over-exert myself and these are a lot in my standards.
