I have a feeling that I "will" love it if I knew how to do it, and given that its one of the most comprehensive trainings ever, I have to learn it.
I'm frustrated that I can't seem to do even the basics properly, I get embarrassed when I see young kids swimming past me so effortlessly. And I don't think I have ever came across a swimming trainer who didn't end up disgusted over my performance. One of them even told me to "give up". | |

Are you wanting to just know the basics, or you want to really get into it? ~~~~~ Oh that voice...incredible....there should be a musical instrument called George Michael... ~~~~~ | |

Abs are made in the kitchen... One can not "spot" reduce... you can build a stronger core, but its cardio and eating right that makes killer abs!! Abs will not show if there is a layer of fat on top of them so one must work on that instead of doing a million sit ups a day...
WOMEN: Body fat percentage's
Competition Shape ("ripped"): 8-12%
Very Lean (excellent): < 15% Lean (good): 16-20% Satisfactory (fair): 21-25% Improvement needed (poor): 26-30% Major improvement needed (Very poor): 31-40%+ .

When I go w/ my buddy I can spend 3hrs on only a couple of exercises, b/c he spends quite a bit of time recounting his dates & shit. By St. Boogar and all the saints at the backside door of Purgatory! | |

I wonder how many people (who work in an office) do this at work in order to achieve great abs...

Exactly. There's so much misinformation out there. Shit, I know women who are scared of weight-training because they think they'll wind up looking like Lou Ferrigno. Crazy. | |

That's not why I'm scared I just don't have the knowledge to start lifting, scared of doing it all wrong and hurting myself Rhythm floods my heart♥The melody it feeds my soul | |

^^^ Ask one of the trainers for a starter's program. I encourage every woman to get on a serious weight-training program. It will do wonders for your body.
My max on deadlifts is @315 lbs. Yesterday I saw a woman at my gym doing nearly half that. She's not musclebound, but she's strong as a mfer and barely 5'2". THAT'S what I'm talking about ladies - hit the iron. | |
