Who me – Weightlift?
Jun. 10th, 2009 | 12:00 am
I joined a real gym this time. My last venture was at one of those," ladies only go around the circle clubs". My daughters made so much fun of me that I decided to actually try weight training fitness. I had no idea what I was doing, but I started going to the gym five days a week. At first I just fooled around on the machines, trying them out, but since weight lifting training was just an idea to me, I figured that I better watch the regulars.
I watched and I copied the folks who looked like they knew what they were doing. At first I could only do about five crunches at the five pound setting. Since I longed for a better belly, I lopped along and found that I got better with time. I can do over a hundred at the 20 pound setting now. I figure that isn't too bad for a weight training fitness beginner.
My arms needed serious work, too. After figuring out the rep and rest thing, I got pretty adept at that, too. I would not say that I have great arms, yet, but they are a whole lot better now that I have been training for about three months, and I will continue going to my new gym forever.
Overall, I look much better. I have lost about ten pounds and my clothes fit better and are a size smaller. The best part is that I really enjoy weight training fitness. It is never boring; sometimes it resembles fun, and always, I feel wonderful when I head out the door--very much looking forward to my next session. I recommend weight training fitness. It really works when you weightlift.
