Well it should come as no surprise that I adore this post Heavy weights, compound moves, REST days, all my favourites! Rest days are definitely where most of the work is done – I’m actually being taught as a PT to tell clients that resting is more important than getting to the gym!

Fave Olympic sport is the triathlon, duh!

I love reading about lifting on your blog because you so clearly love it that it makes me feel like I could and should at least give it a try. I’ve only ever really worked with handweights before.

I love the weights!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never leave home without my gloves!

As an experienced weight lifter, I no longer start with larger body parts. I actually work the body part I feel needs the most work first & go from there. This has changed over time & will again…. keeps me loving the workouts!

I love all winter sports so the winter games are my favorite. Snowboarding, skiing, skating … I love it all. Now if we can only get some snow in the Northeast Kingdom and in Vancouver.

You are so strong! Great video with a little Jimi playing in the background.

I don’t have cable so I am in an Olympic free zone. Do they have football? If I had to choose I would say diving. No idea if that is only in the summer Olympics…

I do cardio pretty much 6 days a week, but not so intense on lifting days. I take Sundays off completely.

The custard oats I have been using liquid egg whites. I need to try a whole egg sometime. I slowly add them in near the end. I need to make a video of these sometime.

As for goals – I do want to lose 10 more pounds. They just don’t want to go. I also have fitness goals in mind, like a 100-mile bike ride this summer.

Oh, and I’ve been doing full-body weights using the machines for now. I’m glad to know those days of rest are good for me, because I certainly feel like they help me make it through the harder days.

Very interesting information.

My favorite sport is the ice skating and gymnastics.
