Today, I learned some new strength exercises using the Cybex Smith machine. I've seen this equipment before but never knew the name of it.
Wow, what a workout! I am sore so I know it's working! This machine is a good way to get the technique down before moving on to free weights.
Who doesn’t love bright, shiny bling things? Whether its diamonds, an expensive watch or highly polished sports car, most of us are attracted to and want beautiful things.
I'm so tired of winter, especially the snow storms we've been getting lately. But one thing is for sure, you can get a good workout in just cleaning up the snow!
I was stupid… I thought I would be able to make the YMCA yesterday to work out. I received an email from the YMCA saying they would remain closed for the rest of the day. At first I thought, why can't they be open? Then I looked outside. OK, I'm going to be shoveling the rest of the day, who needs to workout after all the shoveling!
Just a quick post on a topic so often confused by many people. I often hear....I have gained some weight since I started weight training but muscle weighs more than fat. Okay..let's get a handle on that. A pound of muscle weighs exactly the same as a pound of fat. A pound is a pound no matter what. Keep in mind that a pound of muscle is much smaller in size than a pound of fat which is very voluminous. So get out there and lift some weights and tighten up the flab. You can do it.
The strength training is going well, but I got kind of nervous when I stepped on the scale the other day. I've gained like 5 pounds, but from what I've been reading, and judging from what others have been telling me, it's supposed to go up some when lifting weights.
I think I'm not going to weight myself but maybe once a week. No need to concern myself over the numbers, as long as my clothes fit!
