I'm just now doing a gym log and since I wasn't sure what I had done last Thursday when I went to the gym, I had to wait to get the information from Brian. I really feel if I don't see some amazing results, then there is no help for me. I have to say, I never thougth this would be something I would enjoy doing, but I do love it.

Great job! He's working you hard, which is a good thing. Glad to hear you are liking it, too.

Joan--

Reading your log has made me tired--think I need a rest. LOL!!! Yawn--------

Keep up the Great job and keeping my fingers crossed that the outcome of this is what you have hoped for.

Hugs and love to ya--Alice

Each day that I do weight Brian does the stretching of the muscles, and that has been a great help with my flexability. Between each set of reps, I do get a 30 second breather, sometime, I could sure use more

Okay, I'm still feeling very good about all of the weights I'm lifting.

DEFINITELY! stretching totally makes a difference with me for sure!


i take 60 seconds in between my sets....i do a set of 12 then add more weight, 10 add more, 8 add more, 6 add more and then do 12 at highest weight or 5 lbs more and then 12 of another exercise that targets the same muscles immediately after the other 12 without a break in between....KILLS!


you SHOULD feel good about your lifting Joan! LOOK at those numbers! 55lbs shoulder press? OMG im only at 49lbs on mine and those get me to failure for sure! GREAT JOB!!!!



im really proud of you woman!


talk to you soon!

Did 40 minutes of Cardio this morning, it was an amazing workout, not a dry thread on me.

My upperbody sweats like crazy, lowerbody not so much

YOur so right Aimee, I am energized after it is all over, but during the weight lifting, oh my, the legs get so weak, lol lol.
