A great day for you Jen!  I think you should save your pennies and purchase a gowear fit   I think it would be interesting, especially, to you to see what kind of calories you are burning on these active days.Keep up the great work!

Remember Carolyn, that you are also overall " smaller " than Jen.  It is factual that bigger people can lift heavier than smaller regardless of build. I  mean, you don't have to be pure muscle to be strong when you are bigger.  Hmm... am I making sense??

That is interesting I guess you have to look at it as an overall percentage of your body weight - my chiro said that as well - when talking about me getting a cart to carry my laptop and files - he mentioned that b/c of my weight the percentage of those items compared w/ my weight is really high and that carrying stuff on my shoulders or in a backpack would not be good for me!Donna

I'm thinking this means having more body weight (regardless of what makes up that weight) gives you perhaps more force behind the lifts because you can put your body weight behind it????

Hmmm... I would assume having more body weight would be helpful with some exercises because you could put the weight behind what you're lifting????? I can't think of examples though. Am I even close to understanding this????

Thanks Carolyn, like I said though 20 lbs for some of the exercises was almost too heavy but Chalene always says to lift until you fail. Since my arms were shaking, I guess that's what she wants. My arms are a little sore today but not too bad. I wasn't sure I would be able to bowl last night after lifting but I bowled pretty good two games. I bowled a 156 and a 162! My average is 139 so that was a good night for me.

Maybe you need to start out lighter with your weights and build up slowly? Maybe you should go for shorter walks on the days you lift heavy. You will try CLX and next time I'm sure you will do fine.

Thanks for your encouragement, I really NEED it!

No, not to me. I'm not using my body weight to lift because the movement is so much slower than traditional weight lifting...so I don't understand how you can say that.

That's sort of a back handed cut down to me!

CLX lifts are so slow that I'm not using my body weight, only my muscles. That's the point of her workouts according to her (Chalene).
