    Great job girls!

    I have a question about lifting. I have a knee injury. Do you think that heavy lifting would affect that? I'm thinking of doing stronglift but I'm not too sure if it will aggravate my knee.

    I have a knee injury too. I tore a ligament a long while back, but I met with a trainer and he knows of the injury and I lift under his supervision. Ask your doctor or a physio too, just to make sure. I know lifting has helped strengthen my knee area... but your injury my be aggravated by lifting, so its best to check (in my opinion)

    Hi there,
    Amazing results.

    This is a portion of my lifting routine, is this a good starting point?
    I do not have the strength to lift any heavier.
    My goal is to loose 40lbs over the next year.
    At best i loose .75lb a week

    Exercise Set

    Mid row machine 2/3 sets 12-15 ( 10kg)
    Dumbbell row 2/3 sets 12-15 (5kg each)
    Seated/standing dumbbell shoulder press 2/3 sets 12-15 (3kg each)
    Standing forward raise 3 sets 12-15 (3kg each)
    E z bar upright row 3 sets 12-15 (6kg)

    The current plan is to lift 2 days per week arms + upper body one day, legs the next.
    I do 2 kettle bell class and 3 aqua aerobic class 45 minutes each per week.
    Eating about 10% below allowance at a minimum daily.
