tatauu22's Journal, 05 May 20

What I realized last night. Definitely exercise before you eat! I admit it was quite difficult to get into it because I was too full.
Today is a new day though and I'm going to breeze thru it. It is truly one of those great spring days with moderate temps and lots of sunshine.
I'm very blessed that my work added a bigger workout space. More machines and free weights. Not sure how comfortable I am doing the free weights since it's not something I've tried. Research is needed and any advice is welcome.
Everyone have a fantastic day.

I dislike all ab work! Hubby likes it though so I do it :/. There is a lot online about different workouts you can do with free weights. I do one arm dumbbell rows, side lat raises and sometimes front raises. I prefer a bar for curls. Diablo and Chris really helped me when I was getting started!

Jc, I didn't get it finished. I'll be doing double duty today. Peeper, I'll have to look all that up. I am such a novice on this.

I love free weights. Go on YouTube and they show examples of proper form. 💗💗💗💗

I love free weights! Good form is really important in free weights. For almost everything you need to have your lats tucked (shoulders back, chest out), abs and glutes engaged. It took a good personal trainer to show me that I had been working some muscles (traps) that got too strong and not the more important lats in the back. I had wondered why I was more and more slope shouldered in spite of working out regularly. You can learn proper form from a video, but it takes concentration and going back to look and make sure you got it right. And not all trainers are created equal.

I would love a trainer but for now I will do what I can. Thank you for the advice.

Look into books that show good form, it's really important with free weights. Also I prefer to move slowly to get max benefit and avoid joint damage.

Access to equipment to use is so great! Low weights until you are sure your form is good is my strongest suggestion! "My personal" trainer was the internet and occasionally my hubby would give little suggestions. You do so well, so I'm sure adding some free weights will just be even better!

What you can do is enough. I worked out for years with a routine I got from a book. I probably should have reread it to make sure I was still doing it right. I may have caught some form lapses. I still had muscles most of my friends did not have. If you find an exercise makes something hurt (besides the soreness of newly used muscles!) recheck your form. You are doing great to consider branching out!
