Found your comment – there is no best form of weight lifting – not only accurate but refreshing. We are all individuals which means individual requirements, thus individual methods in which to achieve said requirements. Just a small personal mention as to diet, food (again and I can not stress enough Personal Opinion) food is a necessity of survival not a recreation, pastime, social bonding tool, etc….. Having said that sharing a meal with family/friends, whether daily or otherwise can and should be enjoyable even cherished. The simplest meals (now just think about this) the simplest meals when thoughtfully prepared and enjoyably shared tend to not only serve the purpose of survival but leave one feeling fulfilled.

Thank you for this series – I’m definitely one of those people who needs a little encouragement to get back into the gym. I used to weight-train, but it was always lighter weights with more reps. It was great for me at the time, but there were always areas of the gym where I felt I didn’t belong. Mostly because of the ‘meat heads’ that hung out where the barbells were, and all the grunting and macho snorting going on….I just felt out of place. But I’m really excited about this series, because I hope to conquer those fears, and become stronger.

Thanks again!

Heidi

Man, wish this post was around when I started getting into lifting! Very helpful info for a beginner. I’ll be bookmarking this so I can send friends here when they ask me questions I would otherwise answer in a very long and confusing way!

Hey hey! I guess you don’t get a lot of feedback from the weight training posts. But just some friendly encouragement – there are a few of us out here who are waiting with baited breath for more in this “series” This is a great crash course post; please throw some more at us when you have time! Or maybe link us some good go-kaleo-approved sites for women who like to pump iron? the only good one I know is stumptuous…. Thanks for keeping up your blog girl!
