I got the 12 min one, fat burning workout, definition, college dorm workout, bottoms up (many of the books are available on paperbackswap!) and the latest I got tempted to get the bathing suit one too! I think I'll start with the Definition workout as that one is using lighter weights and might work best for me to ease into it?

Here's what I'm doing. I'm doing an upper body lower body split.
Upper body looks something like this. Warm up with band assisted pullups and pushups. Then a few warmup set of bench press. Bench 3 sets, 65-75lbs,depending on how strong I feel, 8reps Lat Pulldown, 65lbs 3 sets, 8 reps Incline flyes 25lbs dumbbells, 3 sets, 8 reps Dumbbell row, 25-30lbs 3 sets 8 reps Military press 20lbs, 3 sets 8reps Lower body is something like this Warm up with glute bridges, usually 20bs on a barbell Then warm up sets of squats I've dropped my weight on squats a lot! I'm working hard on going low on squats, way below parallel. So I'm down from the 150lbs I was doing to only about 80lbs, but I'm going much much lower in my squat too. 3 sets of squats, 80lbs 8 reps Straight leg deadlifts, 50lbs 3 sets 8 reps Hip Thrust 50lbs 3 sets, 8 reps Step ups, 20lbs3 sets 8 reps I either weight lift 3-4 days a week depending on my work schedule and cardio only once, if that.

Me!! Rachel and the other two women in Drop 2 Sizes are so inspiring. I don't even care if I drop 2 sizes. I just want to be able to keep up with them!

That's what I had in mind after reading an article last week that recommended strength 3x, with 3 sets 6-8 reps, and little cardio. Right now I'm doing cathe's pure strength for upper, and a lower body day, and a Leslie on the other days. These have 2-3 sets w /12 reps, but I go heavier so I can barely eke out 10. Somehow I don't think that's gonna cut it. Damn you're strong. Those weights are impressive. *correction: the PS workout I did today has 10 reps, one with 16 for one set, triceps dips are 20 & 24 |

I have now officially gone a year without periods. Why is that relevant? Because my post-menopausal physiology is now biased towards muscle loss unless I do something about it. I will take all the muscle I can get.
