Awww, take US! Seriously, with some studying at www.ExRx.net you can
get pretty far. Krista has demonstrations on her website of what NOT to
do and that'll get you even farther. Then pay attention to how you feel
and that'll get you pretty far, too.


Looks like what I've been searching for, thanks. Gonna have to do some
serious looking around there.

All in all your goal should be to lift heavy things. Get near enough to
them and you'll figure out how to do it.

This post made me think about my last fitness test. The woman asked me what
kind of workout I did - I replied that I do cardio and weights. She
suddenly became very upset that I was using free weights. According to her
there was no way that I could POSSIBLY know how to lift the weights
properly. Well, geez, look at my results lady and stop trying to sell me
your personal trainers! Obviously I'm doing something right!
But, apparently using websites and fitness mags can only harm you... The
only way to get fit is to spend XXXXXX amount.
Obviously, if you don't know a darn thing about weights and can't access
mags or the Internet, then I suppose spending thousands on a trainer may be
the only way to go. And of course, if you HAVE the money to do it, then
just go for it.
I'm totally for utilizing the Web and fitness mags. There's something
satisfying about figuring it all out for yourself. And don't be afraid to
study others in the gym!

I don't just study others in the gym, I ask them what they're doing
sometimes or why they're doing something a certain way. I've yet to come
across someone who wasn't willing to speak to me.

I've used a trainer for about 9 months now... just 1x a week. I started out
2x a week for about a month or so. He watches my form and pushes me to do
higher weights/more reps then I would do w/out him. He has also shown me
how to use free weights and spots me. If you can afford it, it is worth the
money to me.... IMO.
