I get sore if I do something different or if I took too long of a break off- like when we went on vacation I was sore when I hit the gym after! But even if I up the weight I am sometimes not sore. Yesterday I did 30lb chest press which is the most I did in awhile and I did several sets... not sore at all today! I was VERY tired after my workout.Meg Go Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707890742715926971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-23342929166067952712016-07-01T13:58:27.882-04:002016-07-01T13:58:27.882-04:00I would love to hire a trainer one day....even for...I would love to hire a trainer one day....even for a couple sessions I think it would be so worth it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08174117051129860779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-48365536597979678272016-07-01T13:49:17.289-04:002016-07-01T13:49:17.289-04:00My trainer always stresses quality over quantity a...My trainer always stresses quality over quantity and is a stickler on form. deborah @ Confessions of a mother runnerhttp://confessionsofamotherrunner.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-84523332678025816082016-07-01T13:41:21.831-04:002016-07-01T13:41:21.831-04:00Thanks for the tips! can I ask you a question?

I need some in between weights- for instance I would like some 17.5, 22.5 and 27.5 but I haven't been able to find them "in store" anywhere and the only places online I have found them at are crazy expensive. Now the gym has the in between weights so if I go there I can use them.<br /><br />If you ever think you want to invest in weights, maybe you could try out a gym for free for one day and mess around with their weights and write down what poundage works for you?Meg Go Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707890742715926971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-9902406791129605432016-07-01T09:04:38.806-04:002016-07-01T09:04:38.806-04:00A partner who can be a buddy and/or teach you is a...A partner who can be a buddy and/or teach you is a great tip!
