Ok, recovering from cold/flu whatever it was it was nasty!! I am rarely sick, and if I have a cold it may only be for a few days but this is the second time this year that I have had to stay in bed for two days to rest to help restore my good health. Well, with lots of vitamins, rest and getting back into my normal routine, I have recovered, YAY!!! (well almost) Back to weights yesterday! Today, heading off for a morning session of legs, shoulders and arms and then, what makes it worthwhile, brekky! (my fave meal of the day!!)
Sometime over this weekend, I will post my original weight program so that if you want to start lifting weights and are not sure about what weights, machines to use, how to mix it up, this will be a starting guide. Most PT's @ gyms will set a program for you and update it every 6 weeks. This you actually do need to do, for one, your muscles and body get used to what you are doing, it is boring to do the same circuit all of the time and you may need to up your weights in some areas more so than others. (this is where I get excited, when I can finally up my bench press weight :) my goal this year is to bench press my own weight, well that was what I started out with)
Reminder: You are not going to get big, bulky muscles!! What you will get, is a defined and toned body with definition and if you are considerate about what you eat, your body size will get smaller although you may notice a difference in your weight as your muscles weight more than the fat you carry. If you are like me, you will have thrown your scales away years ago and gauge your weight by the clothes you wear!
