Sounds like you have a good routine with strength training. Generally I go to the gym more often during the winter, then do more running outside during the rest of the months. But I probably should get better about going to the gym even during the summer too. I might try to go at least once per week to work on strength and core exercises.Nellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11613262056157769496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4053030335037533161.post-86185404215881109532011-04-27T13:17:16.578-05:002011-04-27T13:17:16.578-05:00I did a lot of strength training a year ago.

I've cut back a LOT, but ideally, I'd still like to have one session every week just to keep all of the muscle groups working together well.Kurt @ Becoming An Ironmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13865313303891773591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4053030335037533161.post-77882174692781929292011-04-27T13:05:03.255-05:002011-04-27T13:05:03.255-05:00Just found your blog through Karen's.

None of us is getting any younger and to enjoy life to the fullest I prefer to carry a little extra lean muscle mass. I do this because as we age we will all lose lean muscle mass. However, the more you have going into your 40’s the longer you get to keep it.<br /><br />It is very difficult to put lean muscle mass on after your 40’s!Tri-Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09164926140098806417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4053030335037533161.post-50347039919862939882011-04-27T08:04:49.327-05:002011-04-27T08:04:49.327-05:00Weights are tricky, aren't they?

I did one before the Flying Pig a couple years ago. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. They were very specific on what counted as a rep and what didn't (I did bench presses and bicep curls). A "legal" bench press is so much harder than the "not so legal" ones I had apparently been doing. :)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13254493351463617215noreply@blogger.com
