Weight Training Intensity Question

[Guest guest]

Hi everybody. I was just looking on the body for life website, and I

noticed that the quick tip said this:

<<Shoot for a weekly increase, but use the Body-for-LIFE intensity

level guidelines to gauge when it's time to increase the amount of

weight you're using. For example, when the weight for 12 reps starts

to feel more like an intensity level of 3 instead of the intended

level of 5, it's time to go up.>>

I got kind of nervous. A weekly increase? Thats a lot of

increasing! I mean, I'll be the first to admit that I might not hit

a ten on EVERY single exercise, but I do struggle a lot. I've been

on the program for three weeks now, and I've only increased the

weights on some of my exercises once or twice at most. Am I doing

this wrong? I feel like if I were to increase my weight every week,

I'd either be too exhausted to complete the reps, or I'll eventually

become a body builder...neither of which I want. Confused again.

Thank you so much for all of your help. I dont think I could do this

without all of ya.

Hope all is well,
