  • I'm so sorry for the loss of your daughter. I lost my son to SIDS 20 years ago so although different circumstances, I understand your suffering.

  • Great ideas here. I've never been able to do a pull up. I recently got a thick band to assist and even with that I can only do 4. But I feel it working

  • I lift 4x a week. I'm on week 6 of my current program. I'm not doing any cardio but I do enjoy yin and vinyasa yoga. Yin yoga is an amazing compliment to strength training. When I started lifting a few years ago I used New Rules of Lifting for Women and it was the perfect beginners guide.

  • I love lifting. Find a beginners program to get you started so you have regimented to follow. A good program may start you off with full body training for a few weeks then break down into body parts on different days after that. Work on form to prevent injuries and the strength will naturally come. Its a huge rush to watch…
