Hi, I am just starting out but I like the feel of increasing my weight for each set but doing fewer reps, then I lighten up to my start weight and push out as many reps as possible...it burns so I know its challenging.

I've been contemplating training for a 5K. As of now, I am not able to run more than 5 minutes, so this will definitely challenge my muscles. We shall see!

A freind of mine recently lost a lot of weight she now jokes that her braw size is a"42 long" LOL! I'm adjusting some things alright, mostly my mindset! I've been running like crazy and dieting hard really trying to lean out but just recently I realized there are a few places I DON'T want long skinny muscles! From now on I will do heavier weights and lower reps for all exercises that work my chest and booty! I'm embracing the curve! :) well as long as my curves aren't lumpy!

Carola. I have been doing supersets to define my delts more and it is doing wonders. I follow Jamie Eason's shoulder workout which is killer and have been seeing amazing results.

I need to do this for my arm exercises. I feel like I have skinny arms event though there is muscle. I want more definition in my delts (i barely have anything now) and biceps. Fortunately, the March issue of Oxygen arrived yesterday and there is an article on arms (yay!) Any other suggestions out there for delts?

I think I'm ready to increase weights also.....I normally alternate each day with Walking Away the Pounds videos ( I have many ) using the weighted balls, then treadmill ( 2-3 miles at different elevations) and free weight days following a total work out sheet from Clean Eating....I can increase the weights ...and lower the reps for a change....Id like to really shake things up and hike the Park Trail....but the weather is not co-operating

I am increasing my weight and weight training more often. I am also trying to maximize my muscle build with protein shakes after intense weight sessions. I want more definition!

I've increased the weight and decreased the reps between 8 and 12 to increase the muscle size i think to get definition.
