Gigi- May I join your check in? I've been posting under the General Discussion thread but should be posting here. I've been focusing on more heavy weight work in 2022, focusing on YT workouts from Move w/Cee, Vera LaRo, Kaleigh Cohen Strength, and just did my first Caroline Girvan workout recently from the Iron Series.
I don't know why I've waited so long to focus on heavy lifting. I've always done some form of weight work for many years, but never consistently. Since I've been consistent with the heavy weight work I'm seeing awesome changes in my body that cardio workouts/cardio w/lighter weights workouts could never do. I guess I was stuck in the mindset of doing more cardio to lose weight.
I have found that I need more rest between weight lifting days than what Vera, & Caroline have in their rotations. But no worries...I've found what works for me and will continue with the heavier weight work sprinkled with cardio!
