Nice arms!

That's the compliment I got today at the gym while adjusting the bar on the hamstring curl machine. I just felt so incredibly proud of myself because I have really been focusing on upper-body strength and it was just such a pleasure to be noticed! (And of course, I was like, "oh these old things?" KIDDING - I was grinning from ear to ear.)

One of the things I really love about Cathe's tapes is that she trains you to understand your musculature, so you really understand how to lift properly. I just feel so empowered when I do lift at the gym because I know what my muscles are called, I know how to work them, I know which exercises to do to build. Anyone else want to share a "nice arms" (or legs, or abs, or whatever) moment?

Congrats on your compliment! Didn't it hit the spot! I used to get compliments on my arms daily back at the end of 2000. I was so fit back then. My bf was 12%! That's my goal to get back to that point. I was really proud of myself and complete strangers would come up to me and tell me how "buff" I looked. The best compliment was when guys I worked with would say "DAMN! your arms are bigger than mine!"

Best to all,

That is SO COOL!!!!

I used to love working out in the gym, because it always seemed like the lighting made me look buffer. You must have the "veiny" look!! To me, there is truly nothing more beautiful than seeing you own veins bulging in you arms when doing upper body work!! And on a woman that is wonderful being that we have inferior strength levels compared to men in that area.

Compliments like those are so very few and far between so you gotta really enjoy them when they come. Good for You!!!

I think we have had a few posting with this topic.It is always a good one.I am always getting comments on my arms.ALthough I haven't been working them much lately.My husband says....easy, put those things away.And he is always trying to get me to flex for people.It is odd because I work out and I want people to notice but I want them to keep their comments to themselves.It embrasses me sometimes.
When my husbands boss was here thelast time he was on the phone to his girlfriend and he was telling her about the guns I got....nice...Anyway,If only I could get the rest of me toned up as easily.I found the arms so easy to do because I guess they don't hold as much fat as the reat of our bodies..

Congratulations! That's so cool. And, I have to thank you for that terrific salmon salad receipe. I made it this week and it was absolutely awesome. Maybe it was good as your arms
