52/5'10"/205lbs/12%BF - are these stats or goals?

either way-- up the level on the elliptical trainer...

If those are your stats can we see pictures?

More or less average stats, my weight varies between 200 and 210 depending on how much I eat (I love to eat, don't we all) and how much I work out and my body fat probably varies with it between 10 and 15 percent. I don't think you really want to see pictures of an old man nekked... grosssss as my daughters would say...

I should do cardio at least 2 times a week, but as you have probably guessed I don't particularly like it. I used to run a lot when I was younger, cross country in high school and in the Marines. Running outdoors is the only cardio I like at all, but it is a lot harder to run at 200+ pounds than it was at 170ish. I did do a lot of hill sprints last summer, but this summer has been so busy, I never got to the park to do them, and now it is getting too cold to run outdoors. I used to do the stairmaster (the thing that looks like an escalator going backwards) at my old gym, but the one I go to now doesn't have one, so I am stuck with the eliptical, which seems to make my back stiff and sore. My goal is to do it at least 2 times a week, but I seldom do that :(. Oh, well I'll try a little harder the next few months...
