It is so important to know that you are doing your weight lifting in a correct way. You have to execute your weight lifting in the right form and concentrate on the muscle you are working to get results. He always lets me know when I am not doing it right, when he corrects me I always feel it the next day. Sometimes we forget. ---------------------------- I will lift my own weight someday!!!!!

I figured out after my work out yesterday that I did the squates all wrong:( Oh well I know for the next time how I am supposed to do it but now I will be off a whole day on that area. Should I "catch" up today or not? btw sandysford thanks for your little not of encouragement... :)

Then I realised they are for me too, check the form!! -------------- The trouble with jogging is that, by the time you realize you are not in shape for it, it is too far to walk back! Franklin P.

My gym has been open for a little bit more than 1 1/2 year and I haven't had one single accident yet......
