One thing I love about weight lifting is even after your slacker days (or weeks) its so easy to snap back once you've built some muscle! Weight lifting is the most efective way to tone and shed fat. Also a great way to build muscle (my reason for weightlifting). My favorite days are leg days! (squats, sumo squats, single leg squats andlunges are just a few of my favorite). For my upper body (arms, back, abs) Ill most like use light weights and higher reps. (Example: tricep curls. 8-12lb weight with 3 set of 12-15). My personal experience using the light weights is they help keep my arms lean and toned ( along with the healthy eating habits) wereas if I'm using heavy weights my arms start to get bulky and thick. Now I dont mind a bulky and thick lower body at all (pass it over here!) So my reps are much heavier with lower rep count (Example: squats [using squat rack] 90-122lb weight with 3-4 sets of 8 slow reps).
My body goal? First off let me say my number one body goal is to always accept it and be confident with whatever it is I do have. Truly believe you cant start improving yourself until you have accepted all flaws. Now with that being said I do hope to grow my legs a little more and tone my arms and back out. That'll take patience and dedication. Im in love with the journey and constant improvments. Improving myself is one thing I have total control of. I take pride in being fit and healthy, bottom line it makes me feel dam good. It is something nobody can take from me. Stayed tune for my at home full body circuit!
