I've done two of her 40-4-40 workouts; I'm going to continue with the series, trying to do twice a week. I've been trying to do more strength work overall since being diagnosed with osteopenia in my right hip last April.
How often are you doing these workouts?

I'm doing them 3 times a week going very heavy, so I've done 3 weeks now. I was able to do chest presses with 25 pounds.
Because there is a decent rest period within sets I can really push myself on weight. I've even contemplated buying heavier dumbbells, or maybe a weighted vest. I've also dialed back my sweets intake...it always gets out of control during the holidays with all the treats around and holiday baking.
