    Low body fat and good definition aren't exclusive to lifting heavy which is what you have. But- as Dave pointed out- there is significant not readily seen benefits of lower rep- higher weight lifting.

    Congrats on looking fabulous though- and kudo's to getting all that cardio in- I couldn't do it.
    you are so right on the hating cardio, this is the only way i can do it. When i was in my 30s i would do the "obligtory" 40 min of cardio then hit the weights which i loved. It took me 2 hours 5 days aweek to do my routine. As far as low body fat according to that hand held thingie im 28 so i think i have a ways to go there. Being a lifetime exerciser ive run the gamut of jan fonda to gilad to jackie warner. These bootcamp classes have not become boring or routine but im lucky to have a gym owner who pushes me and doesnt cut me any slack for being older.

    I saw the frenchie as soon as you said that .my boxer mug was checking out a boston that day at the park i guess the black white coloring got me. And last year i was hating shopping for shirts,its like do these people know most women want to cover there upper arms ,wheres the 3/4 length. Ive never had this definition before. I shoot a compound bow and i have some pics from 2 years ago and last year of me drawing back and i can see major improvement. I pull 50 lbs on my bow but when im practising i take it down to 45 lbs. so i can shoot longer thats one reason i started doing more resistance training.
