Yes i do find myself being beyond bored at local gyms. Too many people in one gym. So it is nice to get out of your regular routine and explore the outdoors. It feels good to actually go outside and get some air. “Its spiritual great balance on a mental and spiritual level as well”. Well said Melissa.

“So the weight you choose should be heavy enough that by the end of your set, whether that be 6, 10, 15 reps or any number in between, you should not be able to do another rep.” Wow thanks that makes a lot of sense. I always have trouble deciding how heavy the weight should be on the machines.

Enjoying Fitness! I work with the retired soon to be retired age group and the ones that live in an “Active Adult Retirement Community” are truly more active than the people I know who are in their 40′s. I have had several clients whom have taken up tennis for the first time in their 70′s and, lost 20lbs in 3 months.
