Lifting NSV

Findekano

So, I've been lifting for about a week. Not too much - I'm still pretty weak! But it's more than I've ever done. After just a week, I'm seeing improvement. Not huge, earth-shattering results. But little things. Looking a little firmer all around, seeing just a tiny bit more definition than before, pants that were a bit snug now fit a little looser.

It's a pretty awesome motivation to stick with it.

Added benefits - I'm so much more into lifting than I ever was into cardio. I hate, hate, hate most cardio activities, but I actually enjoy lifting. It doesn't seem like as much work, even though it leaves me MUCH sorer and more tired than running ever did. I actually have to FORCE myself to take rest days, because I really don't want to!

For newbies like me (formerly), who are skeptical about starting weight-training: give it a shot. I was so surprised at how much I love it, and I'm loving the first hints of results I'm seeing so far.

I could have totally written this!!

I am a relative noob-- I have only been lifting since October or November, but I love it. I had to take a week off due to a calf sprain and I was so sad.

In 2-3 months I have gone from 50# squats to 120# squats, and lateral leg press from 208# to 238#. On pull ups I have gone from 165# of assist to 105# of assist.

Today I looked at 2 pictures I took a month apart, and I can see obvious changes in the shape of my belly!
