Lori, I am going to meet with a trainer as soon as we quit fighting the flu inmy house!  But I have a Q.  When you are doing more than one set do you do all of one exercise in a row or basiclly do more than one circiut?

I repeat the same exercise for all 3 sets if I'm doing solely weights. If I'm doing a circuit- then I mix them slightly (eg 1 set lunges followed by 1 set biceps curls followed by 1 set lat arm raises, then repeat the cycle, then move to 3 others)- circuits are combined cardio and weight training but I was told to have some room for muscle recovery in between sets. If you use a different muscle group for the 3 exercises in parentheses, for example, you'll recover that muscle group but not compromise your cardio. And I went slowly- didn't start circuits til I was out many months and felt comfortable about my technique on weights and benches. Good luck, go go go! XOLori

I've been able to see how good you look from your avatar but this close up of your stunning arms is making me

you must have worked so hard and wow did it pay off!

good for you, wackadoo!

once upon a time I had a group to talk about Binge Eating Disorder, and later one about Clean Eating.

PM me if you are interested in either of these.

Mahalo Jackie- the weird thing is I enjoyed it- wasn't so hard to do the weights, was tough in the beginning to make myself go every week til I got an iPod shuffle- that makes the time fly! XoLori
