    if anyone knows anything about lifting.. I am sure there are forums out there on this topic.. But how often should a female "lift"? I am trying to tone my arms and do several routines, and I use 12lb free weights.. is that to light and is twice a week to little?

    Well depends on what you're able to lift really. I started doing StrongLifts 5x5 but that's for a whole body kind of workout and getting stronger. If you're doing lighter weight you'd want to do more sets and reps to keep the "intensity" up. Admittedly, I'm fairly new to the lifting thing though :smile:

    its all about goals. its never to little. anything is better than nothing. and start small and slow and work up progressively. don't over do because injuries suck and just derail you.

    Bodyweight exercises are great for beginners, pushups, chair dips, planks for your core. My advice and its just that..one dudes advice, is that you start something you are willing to stick with. so start easy and don't make a huge deal of it because if your like me...if takes an act of congress to get in a workout...i just won't stick with it.

    there are lots of things you can do with a couple free weights. over head presses, curls, reverse curls etc etc etc.

    Good morning posers of normality. I butchered my calorie intake via a huge freakin Stromboli. my son wanted stromboli... did log it....don't even know how...just know it was huge and i only ate half...had to be half the size of a large pizza.

    this may have belonged in the confession thread..but they don't really confess much crap over there..

    slightly sweet solvent. It also doesn't work in the "wet rag over face" form...
