Working out at Home
I'm an extremely out of shape and overweight person who (with his girlfriend) is trying to start working some of it off.
Right now I'm making an hour walk Monday/Wednesday/Friday, but I need to try to do some anaerobic work. That's where the problem comes in.
I could go to the rec center and use their weight lifting area, but honestly, I have some serious social phobias and the last thing I really want to do is go in there and start working out around a hundred muscled up guys who do this all the time. I just couldn't handle that by myself - I'd probably vomit. I know it sounds dumb, but sorry, that's off the list. I'd like to try to find some kind of strength training that doesn't involve weight lifting at the rec center.
So what I'm looking for is a book recomendation that will help me start out with some kind of working out that I can do in the privacy of my own dorm with my girlfriend and start trying to get a little better in shape. Obviously there's crunches and pushups, but there's only so far you can get on those basic exercises.
