I have yet to incorporate much weight training into my days, so you're doin' a lot better than I am.

One possibility for me is that they have weight equipment of some sort at the college gym. I've been hesitant to go in the past just 'cause I was soooo out of shape, but now that I'm getting more back to "normal", I may look into it. They typically have a few training sessions in the fall to teach people how to use stuff. I could use something like that. I'm afraid to just walk in and try things.

I don't like lookin' stoopid, I admit it! Too bad...'cause I'm DARN good at it...

The weight routine I'm doing uses just dumbbells. Fortunately my parents have a lot. Monday I did everything with 8s, tonight the exercises were different and I used 10s and 5s.

But yeah, look into the college gym thing! (If someone were to come live with me, we'd be able to do spotting for each other...)

And if you say you look stupid again, I'm gonna have to rebuke you sharply ;-)

LOL! If you go to Barnes & Noble or the library in the sports section they have some books that'll help you out with how to do the various lifts.
