I took an after school 'Winter Conditioning' program for athletes to get ready for track season my sophmore yr in High School and it involved lifting wieghts. I liked it and took weightlifting as a P.E. class my sr year in High School and a circuit traing class in college. After I had kids I wanted to get back into wieght training and so did my husband so we got some equipment and set up a gym in our garage.
Why I Love It:
I love how I feel after a good workout, sore but in a good way and the energy high I get afterwards is awesome.
How I Stay Motivated:
Looking at others here and in my favorite magazines and remembering that this is a journey, not a quick fix.

I want to lean out and finally feel comfortable wearing a bikini.
Goal (Long):
I want to lean out and finally feel comfortable wearing a bikini. I don't want to spend any more time being uncomfortable in my clothes. I want to be able to go into a store and try clothes on and not have them be uncomfortably tight. I want to be able to do active things (hiking, sledding, etc.) with my kids and have energy!
Being in good shape will help me in every aspect of my life as well as setting a good example for my girls. And, of course, I want to feel hot and look hot for my hubby.
:-p
What do you think about people who "grunt" loudly while working out? Do you do it?
Whatever helps you get the reps out. I think I do.

What type of outfit do you usually wear when you workout? Why?
Depends on what season it is when I am working out. If it's summer, shorts and a tank top. If its cold then I'll wear sweats or warm-up pants, a t-shirt, a long sleeve thermal shirt and a sweatshirt. I workout in my garage and it isn't heated except for 10 minutes before I go out there.Depends on what season it is when I am working out. If it's summer, shorts and a tank top.

Why I like this video: I love this video because so many women won't lift because they're afraid they'll look like a guy, when the reality is, unless they take steriods, that can't happen!
Did shoulders and arms yesterday. I am still super sore from Plyo! Today is YogaX so hopefully will stretch out some of the soreness. Ate pretty well yesterday, aside from the 2 brownies I had...but today is a new day and NO brownies for me today!! I've been taking vitamins too, that helps my...

I have been more consistent than usual, have really put it in my schedule. Remember every few minutes counts. Even 5-10 mins a day. good luck. Start w/ small increments of time to work it into your schedule. hope this helps.
