linda, i am so sorry about the migraine too, had one last nite. i know they are horrible. mine came on w/an attack of the acid reflux (GERD) i was just diagnosed with. SO, NEEDLESS TO SAY, I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA DIE! i supposed that is why i have been so zonked today.
do you find that you are very tired before a migraine? sometimes, i am. so many different things can bring them on for me.
thanks jann, appreciate it.
have ya'll heard of density training? what do ya'll think of this? well, hope i can do better tomorrow in the w/out department.
," let's pick 3 exercises: the overhead press, the dumbbell row, and the squat.
Setting these up in a circuit fashion, you perform them one after another with little rest in between.
Instead of having a set number of reps, we're going to be forming each of these exercises for TIME–you simply have to do as many as you can in a given time period.
To make it easy, let's say you did each of the above exercises for 30 seconds. In performing such a circuit, your results might look like this:
Overhead Press: 25 pound dumbbells for 20 reps
DB Row: 40 pound dumbbells for 18 reps
Squat: 100 pound barbell for 22 reps
Not too shabby. Now, HERE is where it gets crazy.
We’re going to take advantage of some cool things that happen in the body; triggers that happen which will make you more efficient and more capable.
To do that, we're going to INCREASE the weight by 10-20% and try to do MORE reps.
Does that seem impossible? It isn't. Due to neuromuscular junction and neural activation, in almost ALL cases, you'll be able to do just that.
Your second attempt at that circuit might look like this:
Overhead Press: 30 pound dumbbells for 23 reps
DB Row: 50 pound dumbbells for 20 reps
Squat: 120 pound barbell for 25 reps
Density training is fun, challenge-based, burns a heck of a lot of fat."
