Checking out New Rules of Lifting

posted by lovetolaff66 on 1:09 pm

 I just got the book from the library. I am not seeing anywhere if it is saying whether or not you can do the weight lifting daily. I have always heard you can only do S.T. 3ish times a week. I am struggling with the idea of letting go of my treadmill!!!!! But, I need S.T. in addition to it.

 Every muscle in your body needs 48 hours to recover, except abbs. So that means if you are doing full body training every time you lift then you would lift on say M, W & F or T, Th & St.  Your body buildes musclue when you are resting the day after lifting so rest or light days need to be just that. If walking, yoga, or a light jog are easy for you then do them on your rest days, just don't over work yourself or you not get the recovery time your body needs.        I hope that helps you. Good luck.

 Welcome Kim.  Congratulations on starting an exciting new exercise program.  Weight lifting is the best thing I have tried yet to loose weight and get healthy.  This coming from a super none athletic lady, I can do real push ups and I'm looking forward to being able to do real pull ups.  It is so empowering and I have a ton of energy without the aid of caffine.      We will help you with what ever we can.  Good luck.
