    Ladies,
    Can some of you please post your weight lifting schedule.
    Is it possible to develop muscles and abs with lifting 20-30 pounds of weight.

    It depends on the muscles. 20-30lbs dumbbells can be quite heavy for the deltoids, biceps and triceps. For your larger muscles, lats, pecs, quads, hamstrings, etc. you are going to want to progressively go heavier. Depending on your goal however, you can look quite defined by just watching your diet and doing body weight exercises. Just look at gymnasts.

    I agree. Abs come from losing the fat that is covering them. I use 10-20 lb Dbs for FB chest press & alternet curls, triceps. I curl about 32 lbs with barbell. I lift much heavier for squat/chest press & deadlift.

    It depends on how muscular you want to get. I started with a goal of toning and gaining some muscle mass. I used dumbellls at home and found tons of routines on YouTube. Then I became addicted to lifting. Now I'm following a four day regime at the gym which incorporates a variety of free weights and machines.
    As you get stronger, you'll want to slowly increase the amount of weight you're using ( again depending on your goals ).
    Following a healthy eating plan is so important. It will help you with maximizing muscle definition.
    I hope I'm making sense.

    starting weight is the pic with hubby at 217 lbs at 5 foot 6.5 inches. i am at 167 lbs now and have been for about 2-3 months. struggling to lose any more. i will be honest and say that i probably have not been tracking as closely as i need to but for the days when i assume i go over i make up for it the next day, exercise 6 days a week. what else can i change? i run 5-6 k in 30-40 minutes then do quick weights for another 30-40 minutes. i need a program or a trainer because its getting hard to stay motivated.

    OMG. You are gorgeous!!!! <3 Seriously!!
    Aww thank you :)
