Oh, yeah, at 5' 0", I'm really scary! <g> Seriously, it's a wonderful way to get back into shape because it doesn't cost a lot and you don't have to leave your house. I admit that I do combine it with walking and jogging, because you get results faster if you do both an aerobic activity (walking/jogging) and an anaerobic activity (weight lifting). Unlike a treadmill or exercise bike, the free weights never wear out, are cheap to buy, and easy to resell and take up far less room. Only problem is that once I started lifting 6 kg weights, DH began to complain occasionally about having to go out and buy them, since we don't have a car. <g>
Bev, your idea of keeping them on the floor is a good one. I keep mine on the desk and sometimes it's distracting when I'm meeting with one of the younger engineers and they want to play with my weights and show off. <g> Avital, who really needs to go back to strength training ----- Original Message ----- From: "Clay Blackwell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Bev Walker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2003 12:42 AM Subject: Re: [lace-chat] closet weight-training lacemakers Now you buff ladies are scaring me!! ; ) Clay ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bev Walker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2003 2:40 PM Subject: [lace-chat] closet weight-training lacemakers > Hi everyone and Avital who wrote: > > > Iron-Pumping Avital, > who keeps a 5 kg dumbbell on her desk at work to use while the computer's > booting up and to intimidate cranky project managers > > and Bev cheers - > no kidding!
