Back On Track Together
Move To Lose - Week 2 - Sessions, Sets and Reps
Hey BOTTs, 
When you workout at the gym and or at home you will be doing a workout Session.
It really is mind over matter, you need to concentrate on what you are doing, during your Session. Don't worry about anyone else around you. When you are lifting that barbell and or dumbbell, stare at it like it's part of your arm....
Start out with light weights at first, you want to get the form right, don't worry about heavy weights, that will come later. Again, concentrate on the weight and doing it correctly.
Sets and Reps (repetitions) are two words you will hear often. When you hear that you may say UGH?
I am confused, don't worry I was too at first....
Picture yourself raising and lowering a dumbbell, that action is one rep, now picture doing that 8 times then putting the dumbbell down, that is a set of 8 reps. Got it? If you pick the dumbbell back up and do 8 more reps, that is 2 sets of 8 reps or 2 X 8.
Tomorrow we will discuss how much should you do at first, and breathing.....
So BOTTs, Did You Move To Lose and or Maintain Today? Are you out there? I am not seeing to many of you jumping in here and being accountable! If you think you will lose weight and keep it off without some form or moving you have your head in the sand. Every time I have gained weight it was when I had to step away from my exercise for one reason or another.
Please, Please, Please get on board NOW....you will be glad you did later
Take care,
Kathy
