I take a weight training class and it is coed so it's cool to be a chick using the free weights there especially because the teacher is female.midlife_swimmerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12346245087447662377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660289590307824081.post-35639818217338665202010-01-29T21:40:30.731-06:002010-01-29T21:40:30.731-06:00You are so pretty and look like such a happy perso...You are so pretty and look like such a happy person :)<br><br>Let me give you some of my weight opinions...<br>A) You are a woman taking care of your body. You are beautiful TODAY and men don't really pay nearly as much attention to us in the weight area as we think.<br><br>B)Meet with the trainer or look online for instructions on particular free weight exercises.<br><br>C)The great thing I like about my weight routine is I do not take breaks at all. My trainer taught me how to fill the space, so that you work non stop for 30 minutes. It's high intensity and burns a ton.<br><br>This is how it works....<br><br>You may do a chest exercise, then you can work your shoulders right after...different muscle group. Then go right into ab work, followed by squats, then back to chest etc. So, yes you may do 3 sets of something but instead of sitting in between sets like most men do you work a different body part.<br><br>OK...now that I've gabbed to much....<br><br>Hope I offered a little bit of help.Lisa "One Mom's Weight Loss"http://www.blogger.com/profile/03639176833654581442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660289590307824081.post-25975062814532646982010-01-29T23:38:36.243-06:002010-01-29T23:38:36.243-06:00Yea on the weight loss, girl!

You do look happy and have an amazing warm smile, and the difference is quite evident. And congratulations on the weight loss!

Maybe get some weights for at home and do weight work there until you are more confident. I agree with the superset routine that Lisa recommended. I can't stand resting between sets either and that works well for me. Body For Life has a good weight lifting routine on their website. <br>http://bodyforlife.com/exercise/weighttraining.asp<br>They also have a video section on the sidebar that shows you how to do each exercise.Heatherhttp://www.spiritblog.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660289590307824081.post-87940923259693076992010-01-30T17:32:37.201-06:002010-01-30T17:32:37.201-06:00You look wonderful.

I workout at home instead of a gym so I don't know about any men in the weight area or anything like that. Maybe you could start with free weights at home, find what weight works for you and so when you go to do it at the gym you know what weights to use..Just a thought.Barbarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01654416517724617507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660289590307824081.post-10016430348252278482010-01-31T08:30:44.502-06:002010-01-31T08:30:44.502-06:00Guess you could call me a cardio princess too. I ...Guess you could call me a cardio princess too. I like the endorphin rush from doing cardio and how it greatly improves my mood. I do make myself do some strength training but in a class not on my own out in testosterone land. Want some tone and shaping but am not out for the chiseled muscular look.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660289590307824081.post-85859568806196563342010-01-31T19:51:33.788-06:002010-01-31T19:51:33.788-06:00You're looking great Jodi!You're looking great Jodi!Lucyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15041064619699436592noreply@blogger.com
